That's how I've been running for a couple of years...

I have a Linksys Wireless router, but don't use the router part of it.  I
have the LAN side of it connected on my network, and it gets DHCP addresses
served from one of the two other Linksys (Not Wireless) routers on my
Network, or my Win2K server, depending on how I have it configured that
month.

Works great.  :)
