 At some point, many XOs had the following symptom:
 When you clicked on the media lab AP in the mesh view, the icon
 disappeared  instanly, and it didnot connect. Instead a mesh icon start to
 flash attempting to connect.

 The medialab AP icon also dissapeared after clicking on other APs.

 However, when killing NM, and connecting manually to medialab AP, the
 connection was working fine(ping, browse etc).

 Michali's spectrum analyzer showed that at the point the spectrum had high
 traffic. Also, 'iwlist scan' gave zero "media lab 802.11" results a couple
 of times, but not always.

 It seems that medialab AP was a little overloaded, but still, by the time
 you click on it, it should attempt to connect anyway.

 The bug is that sugar did not attempt so, and instead it tried to connect
 to mesh channels.
