Comment(by dsaxena):

 Specifically:

 > iwpriv msh0 mesh_start "<channel> <mesh id>"

 {{{
 ifconfig msh0 up
 iwconfig msh0 essid <id>
 iwconfig msh0 channel <channel>
 }}}

 > Mesh start command without any parameter will start the mesh on channel
 1 with “olpc-mesh” as a mesh ID
 >        $> iwpriv msh0 mesh_start

 {{{
 ifconfig msh0 up
 }}}

 > Mesh Stop:
 > This will stop the mesh
 >        $> iwpriv msh0 mesh_stop

 {{{
 ifconfig msh0 down
 }}}

 > Mesh Status:
 > This will retune the status of the mesh. If mesh is on then it will
 display the channel and the mesh ID.
 >        $> iwpriv msh0 mesh status

 {{{
 iwconfig msh0
 ifconfig msh0
 }}}

 What other data/control do we need that is not provided by the standard
 interfaces?
