Boo. Ok.

Interesting. Given that we had mesh disabled on XO-1 kernel builds for
quite a while, my understanding was that we were using a different
driver (thinfirmware?) or that there was a way to disable 802.11s.

The nasty bit is that even with an established 802.11b/g connection
(infra or adhoc), it'll forward packets.
