have you checked _all_ the tables?  I was bitten once by rules in the
raw table (iptables -t raw -L -nv).  Better yet, iptables -t raw -F.

Seen similar problems when a bridge is used in purely client mode.
Bridges can _only_ be used on APs, either plain vanilla APs or AP with
WDS.  Do not try to bridge a client radio, this mode is not supported
by any standard, and it usually won't work.  You'll have to do WDS.
