Airport express-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Yes. However, it will only work with either generation of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn). This feature is not available with the older 802.11g Express base station.

Thanks Tesserax. My 2 airport express are 802.11n. So, how can I do it?

You will want to configure the AXn that will be performing as a wireless Ethernet bridge to join the wireless network provided by the other AXn. Apple calls this configuration a ProxySTA.
The following is a graphic that shows the basic configuration. Note: Just substitute the first AXn for the AirPort Extreme shown.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility (v5.x).
Thanks Tesserax, I tried and is working perfect.

Will the same work if the main wireless router is a third party one? I have a D-Link DIR-825 router as my main router, which is connected to my DSL modem. I plan to connect an AXn to the D-Link wireless network and have the AXn provide internet via ethernet to a Sony Bravia TV.
