I don't really understand if your final goal is to get direct access to 
the AP firmware (to log traces, ntp setting, modify parameters in the 
same time Chilli is running, etc...) and I don't use DD-WRT...

But the information below works very well for me (and could be useful 
for others, I personaly have a lot of problems when setting my first 
Chilli network (lack of network knowledge, not related with Chilli 
itself which is really easy to use) :


WLAN---eth0---PC(radius+chilli)---eth1---WIFI (AP1, AP2, AP3,...)

interface
-------------------------
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
address 192.168.0.251
gateway 192.168.0.254

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
network 192.168.2.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
address 192.168.2.251
-------------------------

chilli
-------------------------
...
dhcpif          eth1
net             192.168.1.0/24
dynip           192.168.1.0/24
dhcpstart       2
...
uamserver https://192.168.1.1/wua/
uamhomepage http://192.168.1.1/wua/index.html
...
-------------------------

So, the tun0 192.168.1.x network is declared at the top of the real 
(hardware) eth1 192.168.2.x network

Connected to eth1 you have :

- 192.168.1.x (wifi from chilli)
- 192.168.2.x (AP maintenance and logs)

Inside the AP, I declared :

AP IP (number "n") : 192.168.2.n
IP Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.1.1

I can now redirect AP logs and use NTP for accurate datetime in logs 
(using additional iptables settings related to eth1/192.168.2.251), and 
modify AP parameters while Chilli is running, even update firmware via 
FTP. Very useful.
