Not sure this is related but I tried to run SIMH on OS X over the wireless and DECNET didn't work - it might be more than just a pcap issue, the problem could be OS X's wireless NIC drivers or something.
Aren't there issues with wireless network connections only supporting a single MAC address thus making bridging not work properly?

Could be. However, in this case, I can definitely see that my bridge are not getting some packets that tcpdump are getting.
That discrepancy shouldn't be there, and is definitely not in the scope of the capabilities of the interface as such.

If I would have a situation where the bridge program and tcpdump would agree, and it still didn't work, then I would start looking at the possibility that the wireless interface didn't support all the stuff I need.
