Ok I would have saved hours of bisecting if I had just used the -e
switch with tcpdump from the beginning.
Jiri first of all the patch makes the connection work again. I can
ping the client on the wlan from the server and vice-versa. Taking a
look at the tcpdump (WITH -e) makes it obvious why it fails with the
non patched version...

This is a capture from the gfar lan port on the bridge with no patch applied

As you can see we get a VLAN package????

With the patched version:

No VLAN and I get my replies.
All that is left to do now is to find out why the current driver
thinks that it is on a VLAN when it isn't.

Any ideas Jiri?

Kind regards,
Michael
