Is there a way to tweak the os300 build so that it brings up the

was there a way to do that in 802?
Good question -- no there wasn't.
But the f11 builds for xo-1 only did 802.11b/g for a long time. I
have
this silly assumption that there's a kmod to blacklist or a kmod
option to set/change to completely disable the 802.11s support.
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.
Um, I think this should send a mesh stop command to the firmware.
