Question.
How is this intended to interact with the mesh connectivity intended for
the laptops? I'm of the understanding that the mesh being powered and on
is more or less a baseline design feature of the XO-as-platform.
Or is this an "airplane mode" feature that's going to get a button-push or
other widget activation to activate?
I fully support the notion of making it possible to quickly and easily
disable the radio, as well as mesh-y bits, saving power and reducing RF in
situations where one is either clearly out-of-contact or prohibited from
emitting excess RF energy, but I would want it to be:
1) very difficult to do by accident
2) give some indication that the radio is currently off, making it easy to
quickly re-enable the radio.
What's the plan for UI for this?
