That means we'll have to build our own kernel, and even with a manual procedure (inside a specially prepared chroot). The reason we were still using the /sys/class/net/eth0/lbs_mesh hack was that we didn't want to fork the upstream (OLPC) kernel. Kernel updates usually have a good reason, so they should spread automatically to all systems in the field. Maybe we should consider something like modifying the initrd (initramfs?) from within some script in olpc-os-builder. Append the module config file to the existing, already installed initrd. We'd also need to add in some hook that runs when the kernel RPM gets updated (which, I assume, means that the initrd gets replaced as well) so that live updates retain our modification.
