 Replying to [ticket:6448 jg]:

 But this one was both on a mesh _and_ on an infrastructure network

 Avahi listens and announces on both interfaces. So both machines announce
 the presence and the activities on the mesh network.

 Clique on the other hand just multicast on one network, the one which is
 choosen by the kernel routing.. Which means for the machine associated
 with the AP that it will talk Clique on the infrastructure network..

 The end-result being one machine has a has a Clique group on the mesh
 network, the other one on the infrastructure network. Obviously these
 don't talk much together.

 Now there are multiple issues here. One salut bug is that it announces an
 activity on all interfaces, while it actually only ``exists'' on one.

 Even if that's fixed there are some issues left.. For example in your
 setup, if the node on the AP started the activity the node only on the
 mesh wouldn't see that activity...
