      I have 2 pf boxes that I want to use as a wireless bridge.

      I configured them: 
      BOX1  wan192.168.1.130/24 lan192.168.1.131/24, WAN Gateway 192.168.1.1, mode access point
      BOX2 wan192.168.1.132/24 lan192.168.1.133/24, WAN Gateway 192.168.1.1, mode infrastructure

      On both boxes, LAN's are bridged with their WAN interfaces.  I've unchecked the "block private networks" on both boxes.

      The boxes do connect wirelessly, however i can not ping across the wireless link.

      What might I be doing wrong?

        You can only bridge on an accesspoint, but not on a wireless-client.
        –> It's not possible to set up a wireless bridge.

        You will have to resort to a routed scenario.

        We do what we must, because we can.
