 There is a problem with wds nodes which I didn't noticed until now because
 the last version I've tried was from May 2007. At that time it appears
 that madwifi-ng-refcount branch was merged which I suspect for the problem
 I'm writing here.
   The problem is that wds nodes are removed after some timeout if no
 packets are transferred between the two AP's. If one of them for example
 is stopped for some time the other deletes the node. As a result there is
 no way for them to see each other anymore until the wds vap is recreated
 again or the driver reloaded.
   I'm suspecting the ieee80211_timeout_stations() function in
 madwifi/net80211/ieee80211_node.c for that. There is no check if the node
 is wds and after the timeout has expired the node is removed.
