Hello Robert,

Fortunately, the "hard" part of this (getting madwifi to connect and
associate with your wifi clients) is working, as evidenced by static IP
succeeding.  What you have now is a DHCP server issue.

My hunch is that your DHCP server starts up and listens on eth1, but
doesn't reconfigure itself to listen on br0 (which would be needed to
field requests from both ath0 and eth1).  When your AP is up, but your
clients are not getting a DHCP IP address, try looking to see what your
dhcpd server is listening on:
    lsof -c dhcpd -i -a
That should tell you what addresses it will field queries from.  Try
restarting dhcpd after you get your br0/madwifi running.  If worse comes
to worse, you can 'tcpdump -i br0' and look for DHCP request and
response packets.
