i think it's almost a guaranteed race. that script essentially
does this:
while [ ! -f /sys/class/net/eth0/lbs_mesh ]
do
sleep 0.5
done
echo 0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/lbs_mesh
in other words -- the disable_mesh script will discover the disable
node at just about exactly the time that NM discovers the interface.
there's also the "lbs_disablemesh" module parameter, which could be
supplied at initial module load. does that not work, for some reason?
(i seem to recall there may be a problem with it.)
