A nat-ed rather than bridged network might work.

The problem is that Dom0 associates with the access point with it's MAC
address, but when the access point sees other MAC addresses it just
ignores them. I'm not sure that MAC translation would work either, but
it might...

Does your wireless card support WDS? You might be able to use that (eg
it would work in the same way that a wireless to wireless bridge does).
