The senders MAC is replaced with the bridges MAC but the DHCP requesting MAC in the Packet is the PCs. Some DHCP servers look at the wrong address.

If by "packet inspecting", you mean that the DHCP server is looking inside the packets, I don't think that's what is happening. We're doing this same thing (leasing IPs based on the customer PC's MAC address) using the standard ISC dhcpd. I think the Airbridges forward DHCP requests with the PC's MAC address, rather than their own. Not that it matters, but WET11s do this as well.
