Comment:

 I'm confused about this remark:
 > eben's pretty adamant that we *not* turn of the radio using the wireless
 / mesh icons

 His design at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Frame#09 shows a "Turn
 off" action for the Mesh icon, and a "Disconnect" action for the access
 point icon.  I think these actions should work!

 If they do work, what is the point of having the WiFi chip sitting there
 burning 0.8 watts of our precious battery fluids when both the mesh and
 the access point are off?
