You are not going to be able to use a Simple Bridge setup with a WiFi (wlan) connection. It's prohibited by the underlying WiFi transport itself and the kernel is going to refuse to allow you to add a wireless interface to a bridge. The underlying problem is that in "managed" mode, you are not allowed to have multiple MAC addresses (required for simple bridging) on the WiFi connection (it may work but it's technically a protocol violation). There are ways around this but saying they are butt ugly is an understatement. For some WiFi cards, you can put them into a bridging mode like what you would do for a WiFi extender or WiFi bridging device where is acts sort of like a client and sort of like an AP. That literally means your laptop card starts acting like an extension to the AP that it's associated with. It also requires reconfiguration of the AP to recognize your card as a peer. Another option is to configure a subnet on your laptop, set up your down dhcp for it, and configure the wlan0 interface for "proxy arp". That should work but is also (cough) non-trivial.
