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.
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
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.
