Just turn off the DHCP server in the WRT54G, and cable the two together,
lan-port to lan-port. Keep them both in the same subnet (as you already
have).
To make life easier, configure the two with different SSIDs and channels.
I use an SMC8204 and a WGR614 in this way. WinXP manages to swap between
the two as I walk about the house and garden, with no ill effects.

This method also works with the Netgear WGR614 (DHCP on) and MR814 (DHCP off). Both are connected LAN port to LAN port. WGR614 gives MR814 an IP address.
However, recently I had a problem with file sharing, where it worked seemlessly for the past year, but recently fell apart. I suspect it is the primary router (WGR614), but I am still troubleshooting. Stay tuned.
