Since we're running stock FreeBSD, see the FreeBSD Handbook section on
Wireless..

You can't currently bridge two wireless cards directly together, in
theory you could do wireless0 -> wired 0 <-> wired 1 <- wireless1; but I
haven't tried that.  We're pushing more the model of a routed network,
not bridged (easier to deal with broadcast storms, multicast, QoS, DoS,
etc).
