 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.
