Layer 2 NAT is another solution - make everything appear as if it's coming from 
the WiFi cards MAC address. 
http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/br_fw_ia/br_fw_ia.html is probably a good 
starting point if you want to know more.

I wonder what would be involved in making a single WiFi card maintain several 
associations with the access point... one for each bridged device?
