IEEE 802.11 has larger MTU, so this should not have any issues. You just
have to first configure the interface to use larger MTU (at least 1504)
if you are bridging IEEE 802.1q tagged Ethernet frames.

I did not test bridging IEEE 802.1q tagged frames, but I verified that
Linux IEEE 802.1q code can be used with Host AP interfaces (this does
not need manual MTU change).
