I use gentoo's init scripts, but my wlan0 and eth0 are both in a bridge
(br0) and it works fine.  I don't get the CTS, Short Slot Time, or
preamble kernel driver errors.  Perhaps you need to comment out a few
lines in hostapd.conf?

# preamble=1

and I have:

rts_threshold=2347

I'll send you a direct e-mail with my .config and hostapd-wep.conf files
to help with debugging.
