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.

Enabling libertas_tf#

To enable libertas_tf, you must first enable mac80211:

Networking  --->
  Wireless  --->
    <M> Improved wireless configuration API
    <M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211)

You can then enable libertas_tf in the kernel configuration:

Networking  --->
  Wireless  --->
    <M> Marvell 8xxx Libertas WLAN driver support with thin firmware
    <M> Marvell Libertas 8388 USB 802.11b/g cards with thin firmware

firmware#

The firmware can be obtained from firmware tree.

Please also see the libertastf HOWTO for instructions on grabbing the corresponding firmware and loading the driver. The regular libertas driver must be unloaded and/or blacklisted in order to use libertas_tf. Additional notes can be found on the OLPC WiKi.
