Cannot connect to adhoc network with name less than 8 characters

[carrott]

meshbox.py and network.py attempt to recover an adhoc network's colours from the network's name but this code fails if the name is too short. Such networks just don't show up in the neighbourhood view.

See attached adhoc-name.patch for a fix. Even with this fix, it is likely that a pathological network name can still cause problems. I didn't perform any significant testing after I got my adhoc network to work.

fix for short adhoc network names

This also effects au852-4 on XO-1.5 but does not effect os860 on XO-1.0

Seems to be fixed on os23.
