If you're bridging the wireless on the Linksys, then yes, it should.
But, we've seen numerous times in the past that all the custom
firmware for Linksys boxes have bugs that can cause the MAC's to not
be passed through as they should be when you're bridging. It seems
upgrading to the latest version fixed this in the past, but it's
possible the same bugs have come back if you're already on the latest
version.
Regardless, it's an issue with the custom Linksys firmwares, nothing
to do with m0n0wall.
