Previously, the mesh STA will respond to probe request from legacy STA. This is intended to allow wpa_supplicant could switch the interface type and join a mesh network if desired. However, after considering the amount of management traffic generated to the network, we decide that the mesh STA will respond to the probe request from legacy STA only if the mesh ID is included.
