Bridging and wireless don't mix. There might be some chipsets that do wireless bridging but I've never seen one. As I understand it the problem is that a wireless NIC can't be put into promiscuous mode and so can't be used as a bridge. This is a problem that has bitten various Xen users at various times -- you might find more on their mailing lists.
