Como?

I found doing ip routing across wds/ap's cumbersome so I opted for bridging
with heavy filtering to minimize the junk flying around.

But I could see you having a /16 or /24 on a wlan0 and all associated
STAs...then having /30's on each side of your WDS links...and just put
simple statics in the route table to direct the flow.

Did I misunderstand the question?
