I found the "crutch:"
But:
The main environment's AP is a Unify LR7, and I can't start messing with it.
I was hoping for a simple solutions.
Thank you for clarifying for me that the L2 bridge between the cAP's wifi and ethernet interfaces is not the problem; rather, making an L2 bridge between the cAP and the main AP (with wifi being the hardware/link level connection) being the problem.
