Bridge to Linksys WRT54G?

I spent a few minutes trying to connect my hawking wireless bridge to
my linksys wrt54g wireless router, and after looking into it, I'm just
wondering if that is possible in the first place. I have the linksys
pluged directly into an outdoor high gain antenna which connects to
another on the destination end, at the destination the goal is to plug
it into a wireless bridge, which is connected to a wireless access
point via ethernet to propogate the wireless signal at the
destination.

The link over the antennas works fine if I plug it directly into my
desktop's wireless card so the signal gets that far at least, so my
only question is, is it even possible for me to configure my bridge on
this end to connect to the router? Or must I truely have a bridge
connected to another bridge? If so, can I just configure the wrt54g to
act as a bridge? (I only need it to connect to the wireless antenna, I
do not need a wireless access point at the location of the router.)

After a few more minutes of playing with it, I discovered the bridge
and AP do not support WPA2 which is what prevented the whole deal from
connecting. I have a brand new, but less severe issue now. The
machines on the other side of the wireless bridge/access point are not
getting a dhcp response or something prevents them from being
configured automaticlly. If I plug any of these machines into the
network right before the wireless bridge/access point then they do, so
it has to be something with the bridge or access point.

Both the bridge and the access point are Hawking HWBA54Gs. Neither the
bridge nor the AP should be dropping broadcast (DHCP) packets should
they?
