I took the latest madwifi-trunk-r3856 and cross compiled out of the
OpenWRT kamikaze source tree and then scp'd all modules to the target board and
loaded the modules manually followed by insmod ath_pci.ko autocreate=none.
 
insmod wlan.ko
insmod wlan_scan_ap.ko
insmod wlan_scan_sta.ko
insmod ath_hal.ko
insmod ath_rate_minstrel.ko
insmod ath_rate_sample.ko
insmod wlan_acl.ko
insmod wlan_ccmp.ko
insmod wlan_tkip.ko
insmod wlan_wep.ko
insmod wlan_xauth.ko
insmod ath_pci.ko autocreate=none
 
dmesg shows
...
 
ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, AR5416, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413, RF2133, REGOPS_FUNC)
wlan: mac acl policy registered
PCI: enabling device 0000:00:0f.0 (0340 -> 0342)
MadWifi: ath_attach: Switching rfkill capability off.
wifi0: Atheros AR5213A chip found (MAC 5.9, PHY 2112 4.3, Radio 3.6)
ath_pci: wifi0: Atheros 5212: mem=0x48000000, irq=28
 
Now, I can setup the WDS link in a good way.
 
root <at> OpenWrt:/# wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
ath0
root <at> OpenWrt:/#wlanconfig ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode wds
ath1
root <at> OpenWrt:/

Thanks
