[Bridge] something about bridge

Hi,

I have something to ask.

I construct a network like this:

 /A\
B   D
 \C/

All of the nodes(A, B, C, D) have two wireless cards (wlan0, wlan1).  A-B, B-C, A-D, D-C are wireless links.

Node A wnats to transmit packets with node C. Because the wireless links are not very reliable, I want to forward the same packet through A-B-C and A-D-C simultaneously. If I bridge interface wlan0 and wlan1 of node A (do the same on node B, C, D), Could I achieve my purpose？

Bridging does not do redundant forwarding.
Bridging (and bonding) do not improve or change the per-packet reliablity of
the link.
