[Bridge] Ethernet+Wireless Bridge?

["\"Peter Valdemar Mørch (Lists)\"" <4ux6as402@sneakemail.com>]

Hi,

Sorry for posting again, but I must have been asking the wrong question.

How do I get a bridge with an ethernet and a wireless interface to work?

I see many HOWTOs on the internet using brctl and ifconfig doing what I 
would do with two ethernet interfaces, but I simply have not been
successful using my wireless interface with the ipw3945 driver. Is that 
because of the hardware+driver or is there some magic I'm missing (apart 
from parprouted or iptables, which does work but is not what I want) ?

http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Net:Bridge#It_doesn.27t_work_with_my_Wireless_card.21
tells me to expect this.

It says:
> FAQ 7.16: It doesn't work with my Wireless card!
> 
> This is a known problem, and it is not caused by the bridge code.
> Many wireless cards don't allow spoofing of the source address. It is
> a firmware restriction with some chipsets. You might find some
> information in the bridge mailing list archives to help.

... HELP! Are the HOWTOs wrong, or is the above FAQ info wrong?

What cards can I buy that are not part of "many wireless cards"? I 
prefer USB hardware but I don't know what to buy.

I got two responses to my last post:
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2008-April/005797.html
One to use brctl (which doesn't work for me!) and one to run my linux 
bridge under VMware on a windows host (which is not what I want).

I'm wondering about the lack of answers. Am I asking a stupid question? 
Is there any obvious reading I haven't done? Even an answer like "Forget 
it. You'll never get a ethernet/wireless bridge to work under Linux. The 
FAQ should be changed from 'many' to 'all'." would also be helpful, as I 
would stop trying and stop posting! :D
