DHCP option 82 /w WAP in client bridge mode

Hello,

I have an EnGenius EOC1650 WAP that's running BusyBox v1.00-pre10.  I am 
using this WAP in client bridge mode and am having trouble with DHCP 
passing through to the clients behind the wireless bridge.

Basically, when the DHCP request gets to the DHCP server, the MAC source 
is the wireless bridge, not the client.  I can work around this issue by 
configuring the DHCP server to always respond via broadcast, but this is 
not ideal.

I can configure the DHCP server to respond based on class matches, but 
this would require the ability for the wireless bridge to inject option 82.

I know this is a complete shot in the dark, but is there a way I can 
configure the WAP to do this?

Thanks!

~ Anthony
