libertas: don't blindly try mesh
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The CF card only has a very old firmware (5.0.16p0). This firmware doesn't
know anything about mesh config. However, current code blindly calls
mesh_config when the card is inserted. So check the firmware version before
issuing this command.
