Indeed, mesh doesn't work.

Not sure (I thought it worked but haven't checked recently).

Nope

Nope

Nope

Other things OTTOMH:

- Most / all of the XO-specific keys don't work.  The keymap isn't set
  to an OLPC one at boot (these are two seperate problems).

- DCON driver isn't available - so forget about coming out of pretty
  boot (use the check key when starting to avoid pretty boot) - or
  changing the backlight level, etc.)

- /ofw doesn't exist

- network frame icon still blank (I think for the same reason as
  http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/307 )

- some WPA (1) networks unable to be associated with (not sure why,
  could be #307 again)
