Problems with making a bridge [NOT solved]

my eth0 is working and included in the kernel, my wlan0 is not included in the kernel and is started with a litlle script (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/) the scripts includes dhcp'ing for an ip.

What I do next is:

# ifconfig wlan0 down
# brctl addbr br0
# brctl addif wlan0
# brctl addif eth0
# dhcpcd br0 (as i also want inet on my laptop where I make this bridge)

dhcpcd br0 is not working! I don't get an IP
My other computer, connected on eth0, is also not getting an ip (it should get one by dhcp from my wifi router if the bridge is working?)

Is there anyone who can help me? or do I need to provide more information?

some wifi drivers cant bridge, some wifi drivers cant use DHCP.
make sure that your drivers can.

The wifi driver can dhcp, I'm sure of that.

How can I be sure that my driver can bridge???

Driver documentation, webpage, FAQ ?

I can't find anything that says the driver supports it, but I also can't find anything the driver doesn't support it!
