weird bridging problem

[Pedro Ramalhais]

I have read it, but i don't see the relation to my problem. This is mostly
the same setup as the WDS example.
One thing i forgot to mention: packets from wired2 to wired1 work, and the
packets from wired1 to wired2 get passed to wlan0 in hostap Master in some
weird format(a ping packet doesn't show as a ping packet in tcpdump), and
then it doesn't get passed to the bridge2.
Running tcpdump on hostap managed wlan0 shows the packets being sent ok.
So i think it has something to do with the reception of the packets on the
hostap Master side.
