Comment:

 Joyride 2263 apparently does not include these fixes from 4 months ago.
 "iwpriv msh0 mesh status"
 reports: "invalid command: mesh".

 As stated above, having mesh off by default improves battery life all by
 itself -- and enables minor changes elsewhere to radically improve battery
 life.  Since most deployments are not using mesh, and many have power
 problems, we should get these power improvements in.
