No. No. After openwrt bootup and login, iwconfig shows
 
root <at> OpenWrt:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.
eth0      no wireless extensions.
eth1      no wireless extensions.
wifi0     no wireless extensions.
root <at> OpenWrt:~#
 
So no more managed mode is created. Now when I try to create WDS link
 
root <at> OpenWrt:~# wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds
wlanconfig: ioctl: Input/output error
root <at> OpenWrt:~#
 
On the otherhand, if I try to create AP and then WDS then also it throws same error
 
root <at> OpenWrt:~# wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
ath0
root <at> OpenWrt:~# wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds
wlanconfig: ioctl: Input/output error
root <at> OpenWrt:~#
root <at> OpenWrt:~#

In the absence of managed mode, WDS interface is not created and throws error.
