My software ethernet to 802.11b bridge has been up and running for a couple of days now – I had to change some of the BIOS settings to get it to work reliably (it seemed the PCI <—> PCMCIA bridge would not be properly configured if I had “plug and play” settings on), I had to use the right drivers – the newer 80211 driver did not operate with the card, but the older hostap_cs one did – and of course I had to set it to master mode.
Beyond that there were still a few routing and IP address issues and I have yet to nail them down and ensure that the bridge will come back up automatically – when I do that I will give all this a full and proper write up.
