Comment(by dcbw):

 Also note the comments in #2177; not sure if the situation has changed in
 the past year.

 COMMANDS NOT SUPPORTED
 ----------------------
 1. [page 25]
 Per packet transmission rate will not work in mesh mode due to the fact
 that
    mesh mode rate adaption overrides TxControl per packet rate field.

 5. [page 70]
 rate adaptation commands are not supported for per peer MPs in mesh mode.

 6. [p 73]
 Transmit power control is not supported on per packet/peer basis.

 So some or all of the requested functionality may not actually be
 available on the mesh interface anyway.  Somebody needs to find out how
 the specific firmware commands requested actually interact with the mesh
 device.
