Michael, Thanks for the great diagram.
It looks to me, that if your wpa_supplicant box (small linux box: wlan0/eth0) NAT'ed the eth0 subnet to wlan0 then the AstLinux box would only see 172.17.1.0/25 packets on the br1 interface, and all would be good. Is that doable? Some would argue that multiple subnets on the same segment is not good design.
