When not at a competition event, the Driver Station connects wirelessly to the DAP-1522 router in Access Point mode. I would have expected you to know that already, and I am not sure why you asked.
When at a competition event, the Driver Station connects to the field system using a wired Ethernet cable. The DAP-1522 connects wirelessly to the field network in Bridge mode.
The Driver Station "talks to the bridge" by going through the virtual network provided by the field system, but it never knows anything explicitly about the bridge.
