Basic rate set should not affect TX rate for WDS links since they are
using unicast frames which do not need to be using basic rates. ACKs
will be send with one of the basic rates, so if you have only IEEE
802.11b cards in your network, you could see small performance
improvement by including 5.5 and 11 Mbps in the basic rate set.

I cannot reproduce this. WDS link is using 11 Mbps in my tests even when
running hostapd.
