I found myself in a situation where I need a wifi client-to-client link through
the access point. Unfortunately, the line 325 in the file 
sys/netproto/802_11/wlan/ieee80211_output.c silently drops a broadcast
packets. So no ARP and no client-to-client link because of this.

Included patch solves my problem, but I think there should be a better way
to manage client isolation.
