/wireless interface vlan-id vs. /bridge port vlan pvid — difference?

Hi,
What’s the difference between the two vlan id settings? Reading the manual it looks to me like both are used to set vlan id on untagged traffic?

Until 6.42 only the first option existed, until that version bridge was not VLAN-aware.
Other than that, both options are equal as long as wireless is used exclusively as access port.

When you start with tagged VLANs over wireless (pretty usable in PtP scenarios), bridge way of doing it becomes the only proper way.
Using bridge setting makes the whole setup more readable as everything regarding VLANs is set in one (OK, two) place under /interface bridge.

OTOH on devices featuring proper switch chips it is sometimes preferable to set VLAN stuff under /interface ethernet switch due to performance reasons and in this case setting VLANs in wireless interface config is the proper way.
