What's on the other end? Have you SSH'd into Tomato and looked at the
logs yet? Its biggest failing at the moment is adequate error
reporting. You may want to take a peak for yourself to see what it's
doing wrong.
By the way, the way these things SHOULD work is that you end up with a
true Ethernet bridge, just like a rather low-level VPN. Should be
seamless and work just fine, given a connection to the WAP. That said,
if you can't get anything figured out there are dedicated wireless
ethernet bridges out there for a pretty minimal cost.
