how to setup a wireless bridge (wds) without iwpriv?

Hi,

I have an ALIX board running voyage 0.8.0 (based on Debian 6.0.3
"Squeeze" - kernel 3.0.0)

Since wireless on my PC doesn't work properly, I'd like to create a
wireless bridge to allow a PC to get an IP address from the wireless
network without NAT.

(ISP wireless router - 192.168.1.1) <---wireless---> (ALIX setup as
bridge) <---wired---> (PC - 192.168.1.x)

If I connect to the wireless with wpa_supplicant and then try to
bridge eth0 and wlan0, I get an error.
Googleing I realized I need to set up wds (Wireless distribution system).

But all examples I can find for wds require the usage of iwpriv (to
handle WPA) but I can't on my system:

# iwpriv wlan0
wlan0     no private ioctls.

So my question is:

*** how can I setup a wds bridge using WPA between wireless (in
managed mode) and the wired interface? ***

thank you,
alfonso
