Thanks for the fast reply but it only solves "half"  the problem.

Now the connection between the AP and the Sta can be secure and the
driver doesn't need to be loaded in rawmode.

Unfortunatly the the throughput is still bad.

Can you please elaborate more?
My setup  is the folowing.
The connection between the AP and Sta is in WDS
For the moment all devices are in the same VLAN.

client1 --- SW1 ---- AP ...... Sta ---- SW2 --- client2
