That's really just a client, not a bridge, as it only supports one device.
To support more than one device (i.e. work as an actual bridge rather than, basically, a media-converter) you need either proprietary WDS or 4-address mode. Without it, the wireless client strips the source MAC addresses from the ethernet frame so data coming back over the bridge doesn't know where to go.
