I'm not sure that I understand exactly what you're trying to do here.
If you want the box in question to serve as a wireless AP / router
(i.e., the ppp connection is from the box, and clients connect
wirelessly to the box), then you should be configuring it with 'mode
master', or, more likely these days, using hostapd. If you have a
separate wireless AP, and you just want the box to be a dns server /
ppp host, then the mode should be 'managed', and the AP should be
configured to forward traffic to the box.
Please explain more clearly your network topology.
