It looks to me like he is trying to use the Linux box as a wireless
bridge, but is trying to do it without bridging. It can be done, but
only if you give every box on the 192.168.1.0/24 network a path to
the 192.168.2.0/24 that uses the Linux box as a gateway, or if you
can configure the D-link router to add a static route to the
192.168.2.0/24 network using 192.168.1.5 as the gateway. (I have not
read the manual on this router, so I do not know if that is possible.)

Even though it is a little harder to set up, in the long run
bridging eth0 and ath0 on the Linux box, and having everything on
the 192.168.1.0/24 network would be my choice.
