Comment (by dcbw):

 Replying to [ticket:1260 walter]:
 > (1) When accessing an encrypted AP, the key prompt only works first
 time. Even after reboot, the prompt was never given again.

 Fixed in 376 and later.

 > (2) Can one switch between mesh and infrastructure mode from the mesh
 view?

 Yes; click on either the circle (mesh) or an access point and you'll get
 connected to that thing.

 > (3) The shadow eth0 that is shown on the mesh view is confusing.

 You're right, I'll turn off listing of Ad-Hoc networks in the Mesh view.

 > (4) People come and go on mesh, even on same mesh channel.

 We can't quite fix this one in Trial 1; it'll get a lot more consistent
 when we have the server infrastructure hooked up.  Even in that case,
 people may come & go too.

 > (5) Would it make sense to have 3 channels to chose from for mesh?
 ("I'll meet you on Channel 6?")

 We need to think really, really hard on this one.  We also need to have
 the server infrastructure hooked up because it'll deal with most of the
 problems you're likely htinking of here.  We have identified a few edge-
 cases where multiple mesh channels will be a problem, but we need some
 time to play with the server-enabled presence stuff _first_ before we know
 how to deal with this one.

 > (6) Are the colors on home view for the AP going to match the AP colors
 on the mesh view?

 They should, but not for Trial 1.  Bug was postponed to post-Trial 1.

 > (7) Why does the AP icon appear on home view when mesh is current mode?

 Bug in sugar, fixed in Trial 1 candidate build 376 and later.
