Orinoco AP-200 questions

Can the Orinoco AP-200 be used as a simple wireless access point to add to an existing wired home network (private address space behind a linksys DSL router)? I'd like to have the AP-200 and a few wireless clients - these wireless clients should get their IP addresses from the DHCP server in the linksys router, and the AP-200 should just seamlessly connect the clients to the wired LAN.

I'm new to 802.11 and it's not clear if the AP-200 can be used this way - all the literature seems to show it being used for a "remote LAN" application where it bridges a remote LAN segment to the main LAN using 802.11. I'm not sure if the AP-200 will do the trick or if I need something like the BG-2000 (although the BG-2000 has it's own DHCP server and NAT and I really don't need two levels of that).

Thanks in advance.

The AP200 will do exactly what your talking about, it is a bridge that bridges wireless and ethernet segments...I use the AP-500 which is excellent, you can actually amplify it and add external antennas to it.
