 Two comments on the "/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/increase-mcast-rate"
 script

 1 - The rates passed to iwpriv must be doubled. The way it is the rates
 are being fixed at 18Mbps.

 2 - Also, using msh0 or eth0 makes no difference. We don't need both
 iwpriv commands. The command does not affect infra-structure traffic,
 either way.

 So, for clarity sake, I believe what is intended is:
  iwpriv msh0 mesh_set_bcastr 72

 Or, if the intended rate is 11Mbps:
  iwpriv msh0 mesh_set_bcastr 22
