Comment:

 OK, here's my bulleted summary of the desired behavior.  For reference:

  1. Mesh: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Frame#09
  2. AP: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Frame#10


 '''Mesh:'''

  * The "mesh" is treated as a device, and will always be present in the
 Frame.
  * The mesh device is rendered in XO colors when turned on, and white when
 turned off.
  * The secondary text of the palette should indicate the state of the mesh
 connection.
  * The secondary palette should allow one to set the mesh channel.
  * When in the "connecting" state, the Mesh icon should pulse.
  * In the short term, any AP should enter the "disconnecting" state when
 the mesh is turned on.  In the future, when it's possible to connect to
 both Mesh and AP at the same time, this won't be true.
  * In the short term, there will be no "Turn off"(/Turn on) option on the
 mesh device;  Instead, the mesh device will automatically turn off when a
 connection to an AP is initiated.  In the future, when they are
 independent, we'll add this option.


 '''APs:'''

  * APs are treated as external devices, and as such are "connected to",
 and only appear when a connection exists (in any state)
  * APs are rendered in their own (hashed) colors at all times.
  * The secondary text of the palette should indicate the state of the AP
 connection.
  * AP icons should pulse when in the "connecting" state.
  * In the short term, when the mesh device is turned on, the AP should
 enter the "disconnecting" state.  In the future they will be independent.
  * The AP device in the frame should ''always'' match the state of the
 device in the Neighborhood, including colors, state, pulsing, etc.
