Hm, that might be sufficient, but what if the peer isn't sending
beacons?

Can't we add a station entry and then update it if we receive
information from the peer? That'd be more compatible with others devices
that don't necessarily have beacons with WDS, and then we wouldn't have
to require it locally either (since realistically we might have to
interoperate with those anyway?)
