This should be easy to fix. Re-enable the NetworkManager code that
allows any laptop to gateway the mesh to the Internet. This all used
to work in pre-B4 software, at least for USB Ethernet interfaces. As
long as the wifi chip can simultaneously do meshing and register with
an access point (eth0 and msh0) then Internet access over a WiFi access
point should look the same to NetworkManager as a wired eth0.
Each laptop near the school will use the AP; any further away would
mesh to a laptop near the school.
