From the bridge(4) manpage:
Interfaces that cannot be put into promiscuous mode or that don't
support sending packets with arbitrary Ethernet source addresses are not
compatible with bridging.
I do not believe FreeBSD is able to place the Aironet cards into
promiscuous mode. Therefore, bridging will not work.
