No doubt that's another place where I went wrong. wireless face is
still not up. Had it working at one time, no longer. Thanks for
all your input Simon! I think I'm going to stick with what's
working right now (as mentioned in another email, blue & yellow
can both ping the 'Net over wired) and focus on figuring out what's
wrong with hostapd, then on to remaining DNS issues. I greatly
appreciate all your input!!!<br>

After a quick search, I came across these :

Note that as you are operating in access point mode, you do NOT need to do all the ebtables stuff it then carries on to describe.
And then :

<pre wrap="">To add a wireless interface to a bridge, you first have to assign the wireless interface to an access point or start an access point with hostapd. Otherwise the wireless interface will not be added to the bridge.

So this seems to imply that the wireless interface must be up and configured BEFORE it can be added to the bridge.
Next test is to make sure hostapd is running, and then see if the wireless interface can be added. Both these pages are clear that a wireless NIC can be added to a bridge.
