Hi Jouni,

I was in contact recently with linux bridge and ebtables maintainers, 
and they seem to don't like
the idea of modifying bridge code to let it resend packets back to same 
interface (by per interface
option), even when I explained to them the great importance of such 
thing for wireless interfaces
in master mode.

Could you please recommend some of the patches you mentioned ? Few 
months ago when I first
brought this matter here, someone sent me a patch, but it was little bit 
"hairy", decision on whether
send packets back or not to same interface was made by name of interface 
(if it is wlan0 then send).

Thanks
