Oh, I don't have much success so far.

My setup is like this:

   Linux 2.6.35.4
   compat-wireless-2010-10-02, using
      ath5k from this
   iw from git with your patch

------------------------------------------
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
        pre-up iw wlan0 set 4addr on

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

iface br0 inet static
        address 192.168.233.197
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        bridge_ports eth0 wlan0
        bridge_wait 0
        bridge_fd 0
        bridge_stp off
        post-up iw wlan0 connect TEST key 0:99999

I also tried it with wpa_supplicant, again from git. The last part of the 
/etc/network/interface file looked then like this:

        wpa_iface wlan0
        wpa_bridge br0
        wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
        wpa-driver nl80211

... but in both cases, I didn't have much of success. I tried "tcpdump -i 
wlan0 -p" (-p prevents promiscuous mode) and only saw ARP, but never an ARP 
response.

I'll investigate further :-)
