libertas_tf

libertas_tf supports the Marvell 88W8388 USB device as found in the OLPC XO-1 laptop. Unlike the libertas driver,

libertas_tf

uses thin firmware (found here) with the

mac80211

stack.

libertas_tf

, you must first enable

mac80211

:

You can then enable

libertas_tf

The firmware can be obtained from firmware tree.
