I think it can be understood either way, so it seems to me it is applicable the way you want it (the way I had already understood it)? I suppose the one thing you probably do not have to bother with is ebtables because you establish a bridge between an ethernet NIC and a software AP NIC, not between an ethernet NIC and a wireless client NIC. To summarize I would suggest to: - not include wlan0 in /etc/interfaces because wlan0 is already declared in hosapd.conf and that could interfere - not include "pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid $YOUR_ESSID" in the bridge section of /etc/interfaces because it is probably relevant for a wireless client but irrelevant for an AP - include "bridge_hw $MAC_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_WIRELESS_CARD" in the bridge section of /etc/interfaces (All of this being pure supposition of my part as I am almost ignorant of the network things: do not assume what I am saying is correct without verification)
