Subject: Problem with bridges and wireless NIC's

Hey,

There is a problem when trying to create a bridge containing a normal
NIC and a wireless NIC, and using hostapd.

The problem is, that it is not possible to create a bridge containing
a wireless NIC, if it hasn't been setup first.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

(The commit that introduced this problem is
ad4bb6f8883a13bb0f65b194dae36c62a02ac779 , reverting it solves the
problem).

For more info, please have a look at this bug report:

Best regards,
Bjarke I. Pedersen
