WDS and WMM are unrelated. WMM has been in CVS for >1 year. WDS is
waiting on import of the multi-bss vap support. No clue when that'll
happen (if ever) as it requires help converting all the wireless drivers
to a new model.
Some folks have expressed interest in getting WDS support in separately
from vap's but I've not heard anything recently.
