wds with both ap's associating to stations

[Doug Yeager]

thanks jouni,
i wanted to make sure i was attempting something that was possible before i 
went looking for my problem.
things seem to happen as soon as i bringe up the bridge.  at this point i 
have one other AP about 5 feet away with basically the identical config.  i 
also have one station running at the same time.

this is my messages log when i bring up the bridge.  thesse "hook" messages 
go on and on in my log.
