I'm wondering how to tell if a given driver/device in the kernel  
supports the ability to bridge between ethernet and 802.11.  From  
searching the web it looks like only the prism driver/device supports  
this.

Normally wireless drivers do 802.3 framing as the 802.11 standard more
or less requires, so it should "just work". Am I missing something?

IEEE 802.11 allows only the own MAC address to be used as the source
address (addr2) when operating as a non-AP STA in BSS (client in Managed
mode). In other words, layer 2 bridging does not work properly. AP mode
and WDS links can be used for bridging without problems, but this will
of course require the driver to support these.
