No – I am sorry but that will not work for several reasons.
1. You cannot have 2 active routers on a system. They will each try to take control and will crash the network.
2. Wireless routers are not repeaters. They will not accept a wireless signal and retransmit it.
Please restate your question explaining what you need to do. Then we can help you get the right hardware

I honestly don’t know anything about the Netgear router… But I would recommend that you use the Netgear to connect to the internet… then upgrade the Linksys using dd-wrt hack…
what this hack do is it allow the Linksys to become a client to the Netgear router (I do it with a Belkin as the host and Linksys as the client, and its quite stable)…
If your Netgear allows you to become client to the Linksys, then you should just do it that way…
that’s my 2 cents

Set the Netgear to allow wireless access and note the DHCP address range.
In the wireless settings on the WRT54GS, set Wireless mode to CLIENT, Wireless Network mode to MIXED, and make the SSID on the WRT54GS the same as the Netgear’s.
Set the DHCP addresses to a range on your WRT54GS network that aren’t in conflict with the Netgear’s DHCP addresses.
This sets the WRT54GS as a wireless bridge.
