Most store bought AP don't support this setup. You can purchase
a Wireless bridge to connect network B through the AP to everything

party software can do this. You would keep one D-Link as an AP
and get a WRT54GL (if you're buying new), setup the OpenWRT software
as a client and connect to the D-Link. See this:

Thanks. That does look like exactly what I''m trying to do. I actually have a
WRT54G here. But, it's configured to just be plugged in and work, in the
event that my FC4 box goes down, or if I need to perform hardware/software
upgrades on the box. With an FC5 install looming in a couple of months, I
don't think I want to reassign this router to this immediate need. I guess I
need to just bite the bullet and get a wireless NIC for that other machine
that will work with Linux as well as Windows... Unless someone else has a
better idea.
