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
