Why would you set an ESSID on the mshX interface in the first place? I 
understand that, from a solid layering perspective, you should be able 
to set essids on mshX since it's treated as a wireless interface, but it 
would logically separate network users. It's hard enough as it is to 
discover nodes in different channels (although different channels do 
have a radio scaling advantage).
