I don't know about bridged mode, but WAP11s have a
known problem with going to sleep (simply stops
responding, will sometimes fix itself but otherwise
impossible to fix solely from the other end of the
wireless - power cycle will do it). See here:

Although in our experience (we/I have 2 of these) it
often seems to be with really heavy load too (not
necessarily really high usage ie. downloading ISOs
from LAN, but more persistent usage (~100Kb/sec for
1/2hr or so). Yuck.

Caveat emptor I guess...
