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. - Felix
