Is it possible to create Linux Bridge with wlan device (client mode)?

Tried with config similar to Ethernet devices.

Here's a portion of /etc/network/interfaces that works non-bridged:

Code:
auto wlp2s0
iface wlp2s0 inet static
    address 192.168.1.11/24
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    wpa-ssid mySSID
    wpa-psk 8a6d9c7bf7e04290cead7f08b74fae6ad9d2539186303183da3ec46ce5cd6202

And here's a (combined) example of failed attempts at bridging:

Code:
iface wlp2s0 inet manual
    wpa-ssid mySSID  #  Tried with this line here
    wpa-psk 8a6d9c7bf7e04290cead7f08b74fae6ad9d2539186303183da3ec46ce5cd6202   #  Tried with this line here

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet static
    #wpa-ssid mySSID   #  Tried with this line here
    #wpa-psk 8a6d9c7bf7e04290cead7f08b74fae6ad9d2539186303183da3ec46ce5cd6202   #  Tried with this line here
    address 192.168.1.11/24
    gateway 192.168.1.1
    bridge-ports wlp2s0
    bridge-stp off
    bridge-fd 0

Afterwards ifconfig and routing table look good, same as with Eth devices. But wlan doesn't connect. Please let me know if it's possible, and how to go about it.
