Just adding onto what Robert said, Generally you need Custom Firmware. You are absolutely right, most routers cannot bridge wirelessly, mainly because they are both sitting there waiting for a connection to come in, and of course if neither of them initiates the connection then it is never going to come. I think that some Netgears are compatible with it. the firmware is DDRT I believe. (can't remember off the top of my head)
To be fair, Alot of people whinge when I tell them it has to be wired. The fact is though, that while I can see their point, if your house is Carpeted then you can run the cable under the carpet and keep them out of sight, the routers can be placed in a non intrusive location and you will have wireless access wherever. Its no different to running a telephone extension lead round your house.
just as an FYI: I will be adding a 2nd bit to this probably tomorrow about configuring the wireless bits. I realised this morning (Thanks to Kari) that although I outlined how to set up the infrastructure I mentioned nothing about setting the 2nd router up as a repeater. Which lets face it, if your using this tutorial is probably what you want.
