dladm(1M) text under add-bridge subcommand states that it is possible to
bridge wireless links.
dladm add-bridge [-R root-dir] -l link [-l link...] bridge-
name
[...]
The links assigned to a bridge must not also be VLANs,
VNICs, or tunnels. Only physical Ethernet datalinks,
aggregation datalinks, wireless links, and Ethernet
stubs are permitted to be assigned to a bridge.
[...]
The bridging spec also states support for wireless links:
In this initial version, the links must also be Ethernet type,
which includes 802.3 and 802.11 media. Bridging is well-defined
over a few other media, and there are some dodgy ways to make it
work on still others, but those cases are subjects for a future
release.
But in dladm.c we have restricted the media to the following:
7900 if (media != DL_ETHER && media != DL_100VG &&
7901 media != DL_ETH_CSMA && media != DL_100BT)
7902 die("%s interface %s cannot be bridged",
7903 dladm_media2str(media, pointless), links[n]);
So I believe the code in dladm.c should be fixed to allow DL_WIFI. I will
file a bug to make the change.
