Comment(by mstone):

 After discussion with Scott (and with help from Scott, Chris, and
 Michailis), I ported the activation code to the new /bin/ip API. In the
 process, I discovered that the most complicated logic in the networking
 activation code was unnecessary, so I also created and tested a patch
 which removes it. See my [http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/mstone/irfs-
 udebs;a=commit;hb=activation; activation] branch for details.

 Debugging notes:

 {{{
   'ip addr' is useful for getting all the address information
        you could possibly want.
   'ping6 -I <iface> -r <addr>' is a helpful debugging tool.
   the mesh protocols implemented by the p14 and p18 Marvell
        wireless firmwares are not interoperable in my activation
        testing.
 }}}
