IEEE 802.11 protocol does not support this kind of configuration. The
card in client mode can only send packet with its own layer 2 MAC
address whereas bridge functionality would require that the other MAC
addresses can also be used as source address. If it is enough to handle
only some IP protocols, Proxy ARP or IP routing could be used to setup
this kind of network. Another option would be to use WDS link between
these APs (assuming the other AP supports WDS) and bridge packet through
it.
