I am looking to bridge the connected wifi to the ethernet connection, am sure this just needs some command line foo.... anybody point me in the correct direction?

P.S Merry christmas...

The  command  brctl  show  shows  all current instances of the ethernet bridge.
 
The command brctl addif <brname> <ifname> will make the interface <ifname> a port of the bridge <brname>. This means that all frames received on <ifname> will be processed as if destined for the bridge. Also, when sending frames on <brname>, <ifname> will be considered as a potential output interface.

The command brctl delif <brname> <ifname> will detach the interface <ifname> from the bridge <brname>.

Just adding this for future reference, Mr Protocol posted it in a previous thread with a similar thing. Client mode is easier as you have found out. :)

Not needed here due to client mode handles things the way it should.
