Not quite - I'm connected 2 wired networks via a single wireless link and want to try to do this as securely as possible.

A lot !

WDS is invisible it just connects the routers - no wireless device can connect to either of the access points nor know of their existence(maybe ? - I will have to test this out with stumbler).

With my l33t hax0r experience my query is that it must be possible to trick the identity of access point A or B and jump in - hence the reason as to my lack of understanding as to what protocol that WDS link uses.
