Client Bridged Mode
(requires version 2.3 or greater for GUI setup)
I started a page here to make it easy to find this info. So far, as related to version 2.3 and gui setup of this mode only, (no tweaking by telnetting in and running nvram commands), I could only find info in the following links.
My attempt: Bridge Install
Related attempts: Wireless Bridge
External forum thread: Wireless Bridge thread
Using DD-WRT v23 (11/01/05) I succeeded with Client bridge mode with WPA changing only the following from the defaults:
Setup > Basic Setup
DHCP Server: Disable
Wireless > Basic Settings
Wireless Mode: Client Bridged Wireless Network Mode: Mixed
Wireless > Wireless Security
Security Mode: WPA Pre-Shared Key WPA Algorithms: TKIP WPA Shared Key: <equal to the other side>
Status > Wireless

The other side is a standard Hyper-WRT 2.0. When connected, both the DD-WRT router and all connected computers appear in the DHCP Active IP Table.
