Can a WRT54GL and WRT54GS be bridged wirelessly AND still have one act as a wireless access point?

We have a guest house we're trying to provide with internet through our current connection. In the main house, we have a 54GL and at the guest house a PC with a WUSB11 adapter to connect to the main house. To provide wireless in the guest house, we have a 54GS plugged into a NIC card on the pc that the WUSB11 adapter is connected to and all put on a common network. This whole setup is working good, but we'd like to get this setup working without having to have a PC running in the guest house. Is there a way to get the guest house 54GS router working stand-alone as a bridge to the main house and also serve as a wireless access point for guests staying at the guest house? The two houses are a good distance apart, which is why we are doing it this way. Here is a crude diagram:

Most budget wireless routers cannot act as both a wireless client and a wireless access point at the same time. WDS (repeater) mode is the next best thing, albeit at a substantial reduction in speed.

Since you have a Linksys WRT54 at the house, you can use a Linksys WAP54 in the guest house running in repeater mode. Granted repeater mode has half the throughput, but still five times as fast as the cable modem can deliver.
