Options for bridging wireless network into wired network?

I have a couple Cisco 1562 outdoor APs. They broadcast (via CAPWAP) 3 SSIDs.

Let's say SSID3 is a WPA2 PSK network. Can I have the Ethernet port on the Mesh AP provide access into that network? It seems like the "Ethernet Bridging" feature just passes the wired network that the Root AP is connected to over to the Ethernet connection on the Mesh AP, but I'm looking for the Ethernet connection to provide access into one of the wireless networks via CAPWAP. Possible?

If not, what is a good industrial option to do this? I could get a Cisco IR829 and join the WLAN radio to the SSID that is being broadcast by the Mesh AP, but they are pretty expensive.
