Why not? Bridges are designed to join different data link layer
protocols together. I haven't tried bridging wifi with linux, but I
assume it would work. Maybe I'll try when I get some time.
Searching around, here is an article telling you how:

Though its geared towards making an access point, but the only
difference would the Master wifi setting, and you could ignore the
additional stuff like hostapd.
