Do you really want to bridge, or just have the LAN use the mesh for an
Internet connection? If the latter, you need to set the device (sounds 
like a PheeNet WAP11) to AP Client mode. Also make sure the ESSID is 
exactly the same as the mesh, including case and spaces (if you use any).
I've recently bought a few 802.11 wireless bridge/AP from Solwise in
