The AP is acting as a transparent bridge. The problem may be that the APs address is 192.168.0.50 per the documents. Make sure you configure your laptop for 192.168.0.52 or something in that same subnet and as the instructions say use a direct connect wire for this.
Thanks, Scot. You pointed me in the direction of the one obvious thing I hadn't tried. I reconfigured the hardware NIC in the laptop to the same subnet as the AP and connected right up when I plugged the AP cable straight in to the laptop. I changed its address to be consistent with my subnet and then put everything back. Now, I can see the AP from my Linux box and all is well. Thanks to all.
I'm glad you got it resolved. Sometimes it takes several passes before enough of a picture of the problem is understood to get to the solution.
