I know the problems receiving and sending packets through a wifi interface, but that is not directly related to my current problem. I try to understand why my connection through the ethernet interface to the local port of the ovs bridge stops when I add the wifi interface to the bridge. No traffic through the wifi interface necessary at all at this point.
