I picked up a Linksys DI-524 wireless router to take advantage of the

Are you sure that's a linksys device?  Sounds like D-Link.

However, in the process of setting all this up, the install wizard,
not surprisingly, did not have an option for "piggybacking" it to
another router.

Well, I wouldn't bother using their wizard.

I did this with a Linksys WRT54GC just a few days ago ... I a cable from
my main router (Linksys WRT54G) into one of the LAN ports on WRT54GC (it
automatically became an uplink channel).  Then I gave the WRT54GC a
static IP, and disabled the built in dhcp server.

Basically, the WRT54GC became another switch on the network, with a
wireless AP built in.

The key is to make sure the wireless AP's IP has a different IP than the
router, but is in the same subnet.
