libertas: don't blindly try mesh
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. Signed-off-by: Holger Schurig <hs4233@mail.mn-solutions.de> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
