Where can I found some information on how the wds system should
work? I looked in 802.11-2012 standard and I didn't found any
informations.

I think Wikipedia says it best:
"WDS may be incompatible between different products (even occasionally
from the same vendor) since the IEEE 802.11-1999 standard does not
define how to construct any such implementations or how stations
interact to arrange for exchanging frames of this format. The IEEE
802.11-1999 standard merely defines the 4-address frame format that
makes it possible."

I think really what Cedric is asking is how this is/should be done with
mac80211's 4-addr client/AP mode(s)?

Cedric, are you running mac80211 on both sides of the link, the AP and
the (4-addr) client?
