You're talking about to different "WDS": The "WDS" mentioned in
Lawrence's mail is Wireless Domain Services, while your "WDS" is
Wireless Distribution System, which is a totally different beast.

WDS(Lawrence) has nothing to do with wireless distribution.

> I don't think WDS works together with 802.1X.

WDS(Lawrence) works fine with 802.1x

> Another disadvantage of WDS is that all access points in a
> cloud will share the same channel, and frames will be "on the
> air" twice, thus limiting capacity and throughput.

WDS(Lawrence) works fine with multipe channels.
