I guess without the bridge ping going w/o any problem.

I also tried couple of configs with wlan in different wlanmode, hostap etc:
it is precisely same as Kim wrote. In case of use routed connection it
work just fine.
In case of:
[host1]----(eth===bridge0===gif)----wlan0=====wirelesslink=====wlan0---(gif===bridge0===eth)----[host2]
it is works and host1 can ping host2.
in case of
[host1]----(eth===bridge0===wlan0)----====wirelesslink====-----(wlan0===bridge0===etc)---[host2]
broadcast packets including arp can go through bridge, other packets
miss after leaving wlan in direction of wirelesslink.

I seen this on very recent 8-STABLE. (FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE #1: Thu Feb
4 23:03:37 EET 2010)

Can it be somehow linked with experimental bridging support for a mesh?
May be there is some sysctl need to be set in non-default value.

I also repeat same test with 9-CURRENT ( FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #0: Thu
Feb  4 16:16:02 UTC 2010 ).

This is really odd...
