A word of warning about the WRT54G!! Any WRT54G hardware past version 4.x will NOT run 3rd party linux-based operating systems. That said, you can opt for a WRT54GL that *can* run 3rd part linux-based OSes.
http://tinyurl.com/csas7 All that said my best success with wireless bridges has been using the WAP54G running pure Linksys code. The latest version of OpenWRT doesn't work well as a bridge. So, if you want an easy way to set up wireless to any Linux box using a wireless link I'd get a WRT54GL running some flavor of Linux as the "main" access point then have a WAP54G working as the bridge. On a side note, the Asus 500-GL Deluxe make a *fine* OpenWRT machine (it has two USB ports thrown in for fun where the WRT54GL does not).
