Cannot disable STP

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

This is driving me crazy - I'm running a multi-node 802.11s setup, and I'm trying to disable STP - and it will not stay disabled. It's disabled in luci. It's disabled in uci. I've tried disabling it in /etc/config/network. And I've even tried just disabling it via brctl - after which it turns back on within 5 seconds. What in the world am I doing wrong here?

root@OfficeMesh:/etc/config# uci show | grep stp
network.lan.stp='0'

root@OfficeMesh:/etc/config# brctl stp br-lan off ; while true; do brctl show ; sleep 1 ; done

hah, apparently all I had to do was finally post here to get me to realize that

option mesh_path_cost '10'

is implicit, and you have to explicitly set it to 0 in the mesh11sd conf to disable STP.
