They normally resolve to a preamble issue -- *if* there is an issue 
-- but most there isn't a problem.

But while there may be some differences between how two vendors 
implement WDS, it normally comes down to just matching up the 
settings. Using somehting like KISMAC is often helpful in those cases 
to match the configs, but I have yet to see an issue if you are 
persistent.

Considering how there is no one answer to that, excepting someone 
describe the exact vendor, settings, etc, that's not a answerable 
question in the world of "there's more than one way to do it."
