 Interface :  Currently two circles can still show up in sugar, one
 indicating a connection to an access point, and another with the name of a
 mesh channel.  Are we actually connecting to both?  The access point
 indicates which mesh channel it is connecting over, and yanni suggests the
 mesh-circle contains no useful extra data; when the mesh channel listed
 for the gray mesh circle is different from the channel in the metadata for
 the access point, the latter is correct.

 To reproduce : when you connect to a mesh that has no school server, the
 icon will blink for a long time.  within this window, if you connect to an
 access point, the mesh circle will continue to blink in the mesh view, and
 a gray circle for that mesh channel will show up below the donut, even as
 the access point connects.

 This makes some users think they can select both a mesh and an access
 point (when one will usually knock you off of the other), and makes it
 harder to debug network issues.
