I typically do that to extend WiFi reception aboard. I have an old ALIX
sitting at my desk which exactly does that, only it has wlan1 and eth0
bridged as the internal network :-).

Mabe restarting is not so much of an issue. First find out if you get a
wlan0 interface up without wpa_supplicant.

You don't need a pre-up for wpa_supplicant. It will happily run without
an interface.

Do you have physical access to the box?

Couldn't you just access the 'internal' interface or, if worst comes to
worst, the console?
