Not yet. There have been some talk of adding a list of previously associated APs in the network control panel, allowing sorting (and adding/deleting) of APs, and this interface could also have a proxy for the mesh in that list so that one can control which of AP or mesh is tried first as well. > before the mesh search cycle is done, the 'looking for a mesh' keeps > blinking forever while my wifi is solid.

That sounds like a bug (the perpetual blinking). Manual intervention must be preventing some signal from getting through; we should definitely fix that so the states of both devices are consistent.
