You're correct (unless things have changed).

What you're looking for is a wifi bridge. You could buy one, but the
good ones are expensive and the cheap ones suck.

Or you could put openwrt on your wrt54gl like I did, and waste an
entire weekend figuring out why it doesn't work (answer: bug in the
arp proxying).

Or you could learn from my mistake and use dd-wrt, which works as a
bridge out of the box. The whole project took  a non-linux-savy friend
of mine under 30 minutes.

Have fun,
