If you previously had a DHCP daemon running on wlan0 (with hostapd)
then you should disable it when switching to a bridging configuration.
With the wifi bridged to the wired lan the dhcp requests will be
serviced by the dhcp server on the wired lan.  Otherwise you might
continue to be giving out 192.168.2.0/24 addresses from the previous
configuration.
