WDS Setup with WRT54GL Routers..Cannot pull an Ip Address across repeater AP

I have used COOVA AP as at many Hotspot locations in the past and really love the package. This is my first time to try and use the WDS features however. I've followed the instructions at http://www.coova.org/CoovaAP/WDS. I can't seem to get a succesful 'bridge' built however. Connecting to the AP2 provides no ip address. I've tried everything I can think of. How can I tell if I'm getting a WDS connection to the primary AP?? The units are sitting next to each other, so I know range isn't the problem..I've checked and triple checked the MAC addresses, and scoured the forums here for some insight. Looking for some insight into what I might be doing wrong.
Thanks

Thought I'd go ahead and

Thought I'd go ahead and answer my own post on this one.Seems to be something weird with the unit i'm using for the repeater AP. Grabbed another one, flashed-configured it and it all works as it should. Still don't see anything different in the 2 routers configurations, but the one I posted about just refuses to bridge correctly.
