If the second AP has a 'bridging mode' which would allow it to bridge

The second graphic on this page perfectly portrays my topology except that
there's only a single machine connected to the secondary AP. According to
this page, "it probably won't work" - but a little further down, a post
states that "some AP's can be configured to act as a repeater or wireless
bridge, but it's fairly rare."
It that's true, there doesn't seem to be any way of configuring this D-Link to
be a wireless bridge or repeater, unless I'm missing something in the
translation...
Most store bought AP don't support this setup. You can purchase
a Wireless bridge to connect network B through the AP to everything
else. The WRT54 family with OpenWRT, HyperWRT or the other 3rd
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:
