How did you come to this conclusion? Based on which reading?

You cannot do what you want

"Note that a bridge cannot be established over Wi-Fi networks operating 
in Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure modes. This is due to the IEEE 802.11 
standard that specifies the use of 3-address frames in Wi-Fi for the 
efficient use of airtime."
