olpc-mesh support in 0.84

[erikos]

Porting the patches [1] from dsd to the 0.84 branch. Note, for this to work one does need the latest NetworkManager version, too.

The patch does contain the fix for the auto-connect behaviour proposed in #1883.

[1] 0.88 commit:  http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/commits/2351cf86536c3b7708157bd676c4cbd86c6796f1

Support for olpc-mesh devices for 0.84

[erikos]

Rebased the patch since I missed a few commits (gsm backport)

[erikos]

This is basically the patch that went into 0.88 just backported. It contains the fix described in #1883.

[erikos]

Contains #1890, too  http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/commits/a388ecfea10b153b6b274c2dee055db46d013e52

Please commit this. I have gone through the patch and it looks OK. I think what it needs at the moment is more testing, and putting this in the mainline code and making a release of this would certainly be helpful for that :-)

Please mind, you have to install the latest NetworkManager package to be able to share.

It adds a multicast route for link-local IPv4 connections.
