How have you configured eth0 and br-lan? It has been a very long time
since I worked on this code, but if I remember correctly, the design was
assuming that a tagged interface (say, eth0) would be split into VLAN
interfaces with vconfig and hostapd would then create similar interfaces
for each VLAN on the wireless side and bridge these interface together
with a separate bridge interface for each VLAN id.

I'm not sure what exactly you would like to do.. Please note that the
VLAN interface from the wireless side are not tagged and you would need
to bridge them together with an untagged wired interface (from vconfig)
to make this work.
