SSID not shown/cought when there is an "non-ap" mode wifi-iface linked to wifi-device #17

Description

Context

Having a couple of dual band Wi-Fi 5 routers (TP-Link Archer C7 v5) with usteer installed:

There is one thing missing: the SSIDs associated with the 2.4GHz radio of B router. Everything else is show as expected (the hosts were redacted, but are there).

Use problem

Because there are missing SSIDs, when I set a SSID list for usteer, thinking in band steering, all devices under this SSID just don't exist for usteer.

Traced cause

I've made some tests, and usteer works as expected when all wifi-iface configured for wifi-device are in ap mode. When using WDS, the wifi-device under which is configured the wifi-iface in sta mode (at WDS client router) will have all SSIDs missing on usteer. Or, using 802.11s, this behavior will afect in both routers the wifi-device with the mesh point wifi-iface.
