Neil, NetBIOS will not route, so the only workaround (if you really need NetBIOS) is TCPBIOS. Because TCP is a routable protocol, the NetBIOS gets carried along with it (pretty neat, all things considered).

A bridge will work by nature of the fact that it's not routing anything, merely connecting to disparate segments of the same network/subnet.

I think that this is a problem related with Yours card or driver.
I have two cards Orinoco Silver and Jacaranda Blue and both are
working smooth with NetBIOS.

     
As does my High Rate 128 PCMCIA card and LinkSys Bridge.
   


How does the LinkSys Bridge work? My D-link router won't pass NetBIOS -- and
according to the RFC, it shouldn't. But a bridge should, right?

The router does give me wireless access behind my firewall, but not with
NetBIOS. It forces me to partition my network into two unconnected (as far as
NetBIOS is concerned) subnets.

A bridge costs five times as much as a router. But maybe it is worth it if it
works.
