[Commotion-dev] Commotion-dev Digest, Vol 18, Issue 8

[David Oliver]

It's good news that this patch got submitted but I agree with the notion
that even it accepted it will take a long time to "trickle up".

Should we be starting a list of devices that are compatible with Android
Mesh Tether?  More importantly perhaps, should we be compiling a list of
devices to AVOID (Hans mentioned one that goes dark permanently if you try
set ad hoc)?
