Bridging 2 4410ns with VLANs

Question

Greetings,
I have recently purchased 2 4410n APs with the hope of bridging a couple of buildings together.  ive found that the APs do have limited support for connecting an SSID to a VLAN, and the AP even accepts tagged traffic on the wired side (obviously, for multiple vlans).  Howerver, it doesnt seem that bridging 2 of the APs together passes tagged traffic across the bridge...  am i missing something, or do the APs not send the tagged traffic across the wireless?
Thanks

Despite this is an old topic, I want to add some crucial info which I found out after hours of searching the web and trying suggestions I found there.
My goal was to use a WDS bridge configuration with a single SSID to transport the untagged VLAN 1 and tagged VLANs 2 and 3. The last hint to define the VLANs before switching to bridge mode did not help - I did not find a way to define multiple VLANs for a single SSID in AP mode. Defining one SSID per VLAN and then going back to bridge mode with a single SSID let VLANs 2 and 3 disappear from the configuration again.
Finally, I inspected the saved configuration file of the 4410N which is plain text fortunately, and found the line that needs modification:
WDS_VLAN_List= ;a,b,...,"a" is a VLAN ID. Different IDs divided by ",". 4 VLAN IDs should be set at most
I added my three VLANs to this list on both 4410Ns, resulting in:
WDS_VLAN_List=1,2,3 ;a,b,...,"a" is a VLAN ID. Different IDs divided by ",". 4 VLAN IDs should be set at most
uploaded the configurations and voila! everything worked as desired.
I did not find a way to define this configuration in the WebGUI.
Hope this is still useful for someone else.
Hans.
