So we need to understand why it does not work. Is it a race condition?
Perhaps it is better fixed as a udev script -- triggering when the
device appears.

The step that disable_mesh performs is very important. If you don't
disable it at that level, you haven't disabled mesh at all and all the
problems persist.

Ok. Maybe a udev script is a better place.

Right but you MUST find a way to make it work.

Careful here! This only hides the device from NM so you don't race with NM.
