Passing through Class C?

Well, this could be the wrong forum, so I apologize ahead of time.

I'm setting up a VERY large 802.11b network. Clients will be authenticating MAC addresses with a radius database. Actually a very clean setup until I get to the routing. Imagine this setup:

Code:
Fiber->Router->802.11b AP->Linksys WET11->Cat5->Joe User's PC

Info on the WET11 can be found here:

Argument's sake, let's say the router is doling out class C IP addresses based on radius authentication against the WET11. Under a normal dialup situation, the WET11 would then get the Class C IP address. What I need to know is how I would go about setting it up so that first device plugged into the Cat5 cable gets the class C, and how to go about routing through that WET11. I don't know if that means for each client I need 2 IP ranges, 192.168 and class C, or two class C's. I suppose I could set a static 192.168 IP on all of the WET11's, but then I have to somehow set up the Class C on the first device on the Cat5. Either way hilarity ensues as I attempt to have non-static IP's and have it all route correctly.

Anyone feel up to giving me a hand here? Heh...heh... :(
 
I am not sure what the problem is with the WET11. I have a couple of these and all I have done is connect to the AP (doing MAC filtering on the AP itself) and all is good. DHCP all that stuff. I guess I am confused?
