I don't understand exactly the question.

But, if you mean "when I shutdown wlan0, then change to managed mode, then I up it again and then there is no bridging", the answer is: when you shutdown an interface, it is removed from the bridge. You have to add it again:

brctl addif brX wlan0

Please send the outputs of brctl, for example:

# brctl show br0

bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
br0             8000.0050c2019614       no              eth0
                                                        wlan0


# brctl  showmacs br0
