 When a STA entry is created too early, a lot of essential information
 required for rate control is missing.

I don't understand how you can rely on beacons for WDS.

You usually set up WDS links between APs on the same channel, each 
running both a normal AP vif and a WDS vif. The remote AP's beacons are 
then used to detect the capabilities of the peer.

I don't think we can rely on "usually" unless we also enforce that
somehow. Otherwise this link will basically be dead. There's nothing
that requires you to add WDS to an AP interface only after all.
