+===== libertas_tf =====
+libertas_tf supports the Marvell 88W8388 USB device as found in the [[http://laptop.org|OLPC XO-1]] laptop.  Unlike the [[en/users/Drivers/libertas|libertas]] driver, <code>libertas_tf</code> uses thin firmware (found [[http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/thinfirm/|here]]) with the <code>mac80211</code> stack.
+===== Enabling libertas_tf =====
+To enable <code>libertas_tf</code>, you must first enable <code>mac80211</code>:
+<code>Networking  --->
+  Wireless  --->
+    <M> Improved wireless configuration API
+    <M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)</code>
+You can then enable <code>libertas_tf</code> in the kernel configuration:
+<code>Networking  --->
+  Wireless  --->
+    <M> Marvell 8xxx Libertas WLAN driver support with thin firmware
+    <M> Marvell Libertas 8388 USB 802.11b/g cards with thin firmware</code>
+==== firmware ====
+The firmware can be obtained from [[http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git|firmware tree]].
+Please also see the [[http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/thinfirm/HOW_TO|libertastf HOWTO]] for instructions on grabbing the corresponding firmware and loading the driver.  The regular <code>libertas</code> driver **must** be unloaded and/or blacklisted in order to use <code>libertas_tf</code>.  Additional notes can be found on the [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Libertas_Thinfirmware_HOWTO|OLPC WiKi]].
