Just to be clear (typo in my OP...), I followed the documentation on "bridging wifi" and did TWICE (different SD-cards) with fresh Bookworm light downloaded yesterday and verfied with sha256sum:
- Choose in raspi-config the right Country for wifi
- establish bridge
- add eth0
- add wlan0
start
And to this hotspot virtually all my wifi clients connect flawlessly (smartphones, bussiness laptop etc.) EXCEPT for the raspi 3A (two tested with same SD-card) with RaspiOS bullseye (latest updates).
The 3A shows up for some seconds in "sudo iw dev wlan0 station dump" on the AP, but disconnects/reconnects before even asking for an IP via DHCP at my router, to which the eth0 of the raspi AP is connected.
I have 2 raspi 2B v1.2 with different wifi sticks serving the same SSID, but for both the raspi 3A client will not connect.
The option to do pcap on wifi/bridge of the AP is not really an option, as I have no experience in debugging wifi.

Code:
sudo nmcli connection add type bridge con-name 'Bridge' ifname bridge0
Code:
sudo nmcli connection add type ethernet slave-type bridge \ con-name 'Ethernet' ifname eth0 master bridge0
Code:
sudo nmcli connection add con-name 'Hotspot' \ ifname wlan0 type wifi slave-type bridge master bridge0 \ wifi.mode ap wifi.ssid mywifi wifi-sec.key-mgmt wpa-psk \ wifi-sec.proto rsn wifi-sec.pairwise ccmp \ wifi-sec.psk thisissososecret
