 From the original post:

Can the WRT54G be a wireless extension of the LAN that is currently on 
the GS?  They can talk to my laptop, can they talk to each other?

To which you said:

If the WRT54G is flashed with DD-WRT it can act as a wireless 
repeater/bridge. This enables it to:

   1. Act as a client to your existing wireless network (originating
      from your GS);
   2. Broadcast Wi-Fi to other clients, thus extending your wireless range;
   3. Allow wired connections on its four wired switch ports to bridge
      back to the GS for routing to the internet and/or bridging to the
      rest of your network

Nothing should need to be done with your GS to make this happen. 
Flashing just the WRT54G should be sufficient.
