The use case is that, if I have some mesh points in a single room or one
a small floor, I can simply give them a topology by removing the links
between the STA, I do not wish to be directly connected.
Removing the links means 'iw dev <devname> set mesh_param
mesh_auto_open_plinks 0', which blocks building up new peering links,
and then removing some links with 'station del'.
Hmpf.. I used this feature quiet often...
Regards,
Marco
