 Issue #10403 adds a new, automatic ad-hoc networking scheme to Sugar that
 is meant to replace the use of mesh networking in many cases.   The old
 manual Ad-hoc network creation mechanism still exists at this time as
 well.

 XO 1.5's use this new Ad-hoc scheme at the moment when the cannot find a
 preferred access point, while XO 1.0's still prefer mesh networks (but can
 still manually connect to an XO 1.5's ad-hoc network if created by the 1.5
 first).


 In addition, the XO 1.5 may or may not get mesh networking abilities with
 the 10.1.3 release pending a further decision.

 Therefore, the help activity's Networking section needs to be updated to
 describe the new ad-hoc network system, as well as the fact that XO's may
 show the old mesh icons, the new Mayan ad-hoc icons, or a combination of
 both.
