Just found trac #8133 which deals with the disappearing msh0 device. Seems to be an issue with a mismatch between driver versions. Hope it is solved soon. From an end-user point of view I want to be able to disconnect (=disassociate) from an unwanted AP. Now you cannot do this in an obvious way.

This caused cerebro to abort and consequently to hang the shutdown. Why cannot we use the mesh any more??? The msh0 interface will return soon. (the driver shuts it down because it does not recognize the firmware as a mesh capable one). - WiFi AP handling has serious problems. On the neighborhood view and in the frame there is no longer a Disconnect option after you associate an AP. In my case I had 2 APs in my /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/network.cfg, one open one and my preferred home one with a WPA-PSK password. Almost impossible to connect to my home AP. It keeps prompting for the password (although it is already in network.cfg). Finally by removing the open access point from network.cfg I can now connect. Is the removal of the 'Disconnect' option intentional? Is this a sugar issue, or does the new libertas firmware have anything to do with the WiFi problems? Does Q2E14 have anything to do with the mesh disappearing or is it also the libertas firmware?
