after testing the patch below i've opened d.l.o #10579 to track this.
a revised patch is attached to that ticket. i can commit/push this
change if it's wanted. i don't know when it would get into a release,
but the kernel rpm would be available shortly after.
the revised patch adds a libertas_disablemesh parameter, which, if
set, permanently disables until the module is reloaded without it.

great!
But I like Martin's idea better, just not sure how to make it work
atm.
embed exactly that chunk of code you wrote at the end of the function
I linked to earlier.
I'm 99.9% sure it'll just work. If/when it does, we make it
conditional on a config option and pester pgf to include it an
release.
this actually sounds like a perfect use for the resume script
hook to me, since they're already spawned into the background.
is mesh off a general problem?
so it seems that being able to permanently suppress mesh on the XO-1
is becoming a desired feature, since ad-hoc is the way forward if
mixing XO-1/1.5 in under a tree sharing.
but powerd isn't the right place for fixing this.
could others who've been inside libertas take a look at this small
patch? it adds a module parameter that would allow keeping mesh
disabled on card discovery, but also allow enabling it later on if
desired. (uncompiled/untested)
