Have you seen "low throughput under WDS" thread on this mailing list a
week ago? I would guess that the same thing is causing the low
performance in your setup. In other words, the link is actually fixed at
2 Mbps with WDS unless you have configured the driver to process beacon
frames from other APs ('prism2_param wlan0 other_ap_policy 2'). I will
fix this at some point, but for now, you should be able to get the TX
rate controlling to work with this command.
