Well, currently, you can't bridge rl0 and ath0.

If I understood correctly, you want to make the printers available
to others computers living on the wifi net, right?

1) Isn't plain IP forwarding enough?
	You can add a static route to the AP and it will
	redirect every request for the ethernet_segment to
	your FreeBSD box, which will forward them to the
	printers, etc.
2) You can use 1:1 NAT to map each IP address attached to
	rl0 ethernet segment to another	IP on the wifi

Is this helping? Nikos
