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

Some folks have expressed interest in getting WDS support in separately
from vap's but I've not heard anything recently.
