 For both schools and for our testing here, anytime an XO becomes an MPP,
 we have all sorts of problems with collaboration.

 After a good discussion with Wad, Scott, Kim, and Michail, we have decided
 we need to tame the automatic nature of the MPP. Specifically, any XO that
 boots up seeing a mesh, should not create a mesh portal. So if a child
 clicks on the AP icon, if that XO sees a mesh, it can disconnect and
 connect to the AP, but it will NOT create a mesh point.

 Also, if an XO gets a wired ethernet connection through the USB, if it
 sees a mesh, it will NOT create an MPP.
