1) Are you correctly merging the TSF32 values? Are you comparing TSF32
to TSF64, are you converting 32->64, etc? TSF32 wraps pretty quickly
and there's some kooky logic needed to make sure your TSF64 calculated
value is correct.

2) Are all your mesh nodes synchronised? Why don't you print out the
timestamp inside the beacon frame as well, and compare whether they're
all in reasonable sync?
