Hostap Shorewall and lld2l

None of my systems can use lld2d to map the network when connected via
wireless, but it works fine over the wireful network. the wireless is
client -> hostapd -> ath5k -> bridge -> kernel with shorewall handling
the bridge and kernel, as best I can explain it. on the bridge is also
a wired device and a bunch of other PCs. the wired PCs can all map
using lld2d just fine.
lld2d is a windows vista inspired device discovery sort of thing. it
makes pretty icons with useful information show up for all the devices
on your entwork (laptops, routers, etc.). windows says it's a layer 2
protocol, and I'm not clear on what exactly that means in the context of
hostapd, linux bridges, and shorewall, or what may be blocking lld2d for
wireless clients, so I'm cross-posting this message. I hope one list or
the other will be able to help me resolve this issue :)
