WDS links need to support sending arbitrary Ethernet frame over the
link. I haven't really used point-to-point type of interfaces during
last N+1 years, so could you please give a bit more detailed example
configuration of what you would like to do and why that needs
point-to-point interface? You can assign the same IP address in multiple
interfaces and then add suitable routing entries.
