if you have a pair of 2450's, you can do what you're trying with
WDS (Wireless Distribution System -- it is a way on which APs can
talk to each other while in Master mode)

if I recall correctly, you cannot bridge the 2450 LAN in client
mode to another AP. there was an "arp something" client that would
enable you to do so but I didn't test it (google for parprouted
and you'll problably find it)

hope this helps
