I using with no problems 7 wds and 6 sta associated at once. (pri 1.0.1 
sta 1.5.6 or later firmware is required !). There is one glitche in 
hostap code  that  breaking stable  functionality of the combination of 
wds, wlan and eth device in one ethernet bridge (ill post patch here soon)

the wds device in to the mac access list. When you want manage access of 
the MAC behind the wds device you can use netfilter or ebtables ...
