There are two different pseudobridge options now. The old one
station-pseudobridge would most likely cause layer 2 issues. However,
the way I read station-pseudobridge-clone is that it should eliminate
the layer 2 problems.
And why would you need more than 1 registered client in a PTP link?

pseudo isn't a real bridge and can (and probably will) lead to layer 2 issues.
A good example was a Tranzeo "PTP" link we had years ago (using the
proprietary PTP configuration option). The routers between two sites
lost connectivity every 10-15 minutes. Put in an eoip tunnel on the
routers on top of the Tranzeo link and the problem was solved.

I used to do that until they came out with the pseudobridge-clone thing.
Just seems to set up a little easier, but I was wondering about the "other"
implications.
So one way is:
PTP master = ap-bridge
PTP slave = station + wds
Another way:
PTP master = bridge
PTP slave = station + wds
Yet another way (what I'm using):
PTP master = bridge
PTP slave = station-psuedobridge-clone
If I understand bridge versus ap-bridge correctly, ap-bridge is for PtMP,
and bridge is for PTP.

With one radio you want to use ap-bridge and station, then go to the
WDS tab and set the first two fields appropriately.

As in a backhaul. What last did was create a bridge between the ether1
and
wlan1 on both units. Then I set the primary to "bridge", and I set the
slave to station-pseudobridge-clone (no WDS).
According to the way I read it, the pseudobridge-clone should be
transparent
(no munging the MACs of the attached devices into the MAC of the PTP
station). It doesn't seem to take a lot of processing power, and you
don't
have to create an addition bridge for the WDS.
