Access to link layer packets (EAPOL) and the driver interface need to
use different interfaces if the interface is part of a bridge. This is
not currently supported.

By the way, why are you adding the interface to a bridge? IEEE 802.11
protocol does not support sending packets with other than own MAC
address when in client mode and this makes layer 2 bridging somewhat
pointless.
