I just wanted to also say that I was very impressed with the ease of getting it all to work. The only real problems we had were due to an insufficient amount of RTFM :-) I'm hoping to get our of our public ap's deployed with this for real world testing in the next few weeks.

It seems that iwconfig etc truncate interface names to 8 characters so all WDS links show up as wlan0wds. It seemed to work properly but will make debugging kinda rough later :-)
