I went with DD-WRT, it does the job a lot better than a Planet thingy I was using.
Since this wireless bridge will be replaced by gigabitnet work in the future I didn't want to spend any money on wireless, and for free the price on the WRT54G was hard to beat

.
The only issue I have with the current setup is that DHCP wasn't flowing over the wireless initially so I just assigned static ip's to start with, may or may not look into that later.
Thanks to you all.
