Some time ago I sent some patches to fix the issues with WDS (and add
support for HT, including aggregation).
These patches assume that you set up an AP on both sides alongside the
WDS interface (beacons of the APs are used to exchange rates and
capabilities).
I think WDS should work without beacons. At least the basic rates
should be available when the interface is brought up. Further changes
to the set of supported rates can be made with iw.
WDS is somewhat orthogonal to the beacons. The beacons are primarily
meant for the stations.
For 802.11n you need proper HT capabilites anyway. I think it usually
doesn't make much sense to use WDS without AP interfaces, but if you
consider it worth adding support for, then please build your patches on
top of my patch series.
