 The next step was to check if the Linux bridge tools did this as well. I installed a baseline system and then installed hostapd and bridge-utils.
 
-I modified hostapd in a similar fashsion, and used brctl to create a br0 and added the interfaces to it. Initally this did not work but looking at the [http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Atheros_Ath5k_Wireless_Access_Point refrence] , it was pointed out that I needed assign an ip to the bridge interface as well. I guess the bridge interface needs an IP to craft packets IP packet responses, even tho this ip had nothing to do with the subnet I was passing traffic for,

+This was apparently the problem in the case of openVswitch as well. Once the interface was assigned an ip, ping packets make it to the wired host.

+TODO:
+
+ * Fix script to set and IP for br0
+ * figure out why the virtual switch no longer shows up in snac
+ * fix the startup scripts to not stat the ap with out the bridge. (remove hostapd from startup)
