As far as I know, there is NO way to completely disable mesh
support on XO-1 without holding the WLAN card in reset.
Even if you don't support it at the OS level, the firmware will
still behave badly if it receives a mesh broadcast packet.

IIRC, we settled for trying to ensure that no mesh packets were
ever broadcast, but if one did get sent, everyone would still
help relay it.
