How to setup a wireless bridge using access points

Ok, I hope this is an easy one for someone to help me with. I would like to connect my network with my neighbor (about 500 feet away). I believe I have purchased the correct equipment to share view a wireless connection, I'm just not exactly sure how to set it up properly. Here is what I have:

A wired Linksys BEFSR41 router
Linksys WAP11 Access Point
Cantenna

Here is what my neighbor has:
Cantenna
Linksys WAP11 Access Point
Linksys BEFW11S4

Now, from what I can tell, the only way to change the settings of the WAP11 is by using the cd that came with it. How do I set up the access points to act as a wireless bridge? Do I need to use a crossover cable? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
I've found a little info on the internet and supposedly there is a way to put it in bridge mode, but I can't figure it out. I have a version 2.8 and firmware is 2.06. My WAP11 does not have a usb connection
