That's correct.  I was assuming you followed a similar setup to what we
have, where all WiFi in the building/campus is managed under a single
system and is treated as a single network (albeit with many WAPs).  The
WAPs do no routing or firewalling; all they do is translate 802.11 to
our wired LAN.  You then have a single (or pair of) separate DHCP
server(s) that serve your entire campus, regardless of whether the
connections come from wired or wireless devices.

The approach you follow depends greatly on your current infrastructure.
If you can fill us in on that, it would help.
