I have a similar setup but no bridging going on
(never tried that, not real comfortable bridging
WiFi onto LAN - security ... and no, not pfSense
security).  All detected and worked well without
complication. I use a Netgear WAG311 (Atheros
based) and just create a zone for dedicated WiFi
users (AP setup), and add rules to allow/deny
WAN>WiFi, WiFi>LAN and LAN>WiFi comms (or whatever
granularity you need).
