Bridging with madwifi

[Rafa Marin Lopez]

Hi Jouni

I have tried hostapd 0.4.6 with madwifi-old and kernel 2.6.10 and the 
same problem happen. That is, if bridge is enabled AP does not listen 
frame 2/4 in 4-way handshake . However without bridging thing work 
perfectly.

Any idea about that?.

Regards.
