 Hi,

 You can only bridge wireless interfaces in hostap mode. The access point
 only registers the mac address of the wireless card itself so if you
 send Ethernet frames from other devices behind it the frame will not
 come back.
 
 There is a 4-address wireless frame format for this situation but
 FreeBSD does not support it yet.
 
 
 cheers,
 Andrew
