WRT54GL Tomato Router in Client wireless mode to an iPhone Personal Hotspot

I am trying to connect a router with Tomato firmware to an iPhone 4. The goal is to connect to the Personal Hotspot in Client Wireless mode.

This should allow wired and wireless users to connect to the router rather then the iPhone. In theory this should be possible but I am having difficulty.

Router

Linksys WRT54GL

Tomato 1.28.1816 firmware

iPhone

iPhone 4

iOS 5.1 (9B176)

Carrier Rogers Wireless

Personal Hotspot works with other devices, wifi/bluetooth/usb

iPhone Personal Hotspot settings

Mode: B/G

Security: WPA or WPA2 Personal

Encryption: AES

Router IP: 172.20.10.1

Subnet: 172.20.10.0

Min IP: 172.20.10.2

Max IP: 172.20.10.14

maximum number of wireless tethered hosts is 5

I have followed the directions here:
http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3810281

Ensured that the router subnet does not 'collide' with the iPhone subnet.

Here is the configuration of the Tomato 'Basic - Network - Wireless' section:

enter image description here

I have tried several variations of this configuration, but nothing seems to work.

NOTE: I have successfully connected to my own wifi network in Wireless Client mode, so I am confident that there are no bad cables or other hardware issues.

I would prefer to use Tomato, but DD-WRT maybe my only other option.

This question came from our site for system and network administrators.

Might help to temporarily disable the security, just to ease the troubleshooting...
