PR#213207 appears to be discussing this same problem.

I am truly amazed that this "is not something we've been collectively
using"!  Here, we have all of Macs, Windows, Linux for which this
"just works" and it also worked fine (with the config I posted
earlier) on 9.x and 10.x.  Your bog-standard, cheapo Linksys/Netgear/
whatever, bridge their wireless network to their wired ports, and it
is common practice here to be using wireless and then to later plug
into a wired port on those routers and have connections continue
seamlessly.

A way of determining the ath's MAC address so it can be used to set
the re's MAC, or a way of setting the ath's MAC address prior to wlan
creation is needed in 11.x.
