 Two B2 laptops on build 432 cannot ping each other while associated with
 an access point and not running the mesh.

 {{{

 According to Wad this is a defect, but I didn't think it was, so I hadn't
 logged it.  Wad has asked for it to be logged.

 If the laptops are configured in ad-hoc mode instead, or using the mesh
 network interface, they can ping each other fine.

 Two B2 laptops were set up associated with an OpenWRT RC5 access point.
 The association was done by clicking on the triangle on the mesh view.
 Only one access point can be reached at this remote location.

 The DHCP server is a system running Debian Etch 4.0r0, at IP address
 10.0.0.1.  This server can observe ARP queries from the B2 laptops as they
 seek to locate the other, but the ARP queries are not apparently responded
 to.
