Forget it, this won't work. You can only "talk" with one single MAC address on
the WaveLan side, and for bridging to work you'd have to talk with multiple
(all the MAC's from the other side of the bridge). The WaveLan stuff is just
not like normal ethernet. There is no support for bridging in the wi driver
because there is no point in supporting it.
