wlan and bridges

Hi

I would like to use a wlan device in a bridge (to setup a vm[0]). After
a bit testing and searching I found an old thread[1] which explaines
this is not working at the moment.

So to get my VM working I now used my WiFi range extender with an
ethernet port and used the setup from the handbook. Now it's working. So
this cheap WiFi extender can somehow support switching as a wifi station.
I would like to have something similar directly with freebsd.

Now there are two questions:

1. What does this WiFi extender exactly?

I would guess it set all 4 mac addresses in the WiFi frame. But I'm new
to WiFi debuging so I don't know how I can check this.

2. What needs to changed on freebsd to support this?

I'm not familiar with the freebsd wlan (and networking) implementation,
so it would be nice to have some staring points.
