= 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, `libertas_tf` uses thin firmware (found [[http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/thinfirm/|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 ==

Please 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 `libertas` driver '''must''' be unloaded and/or blacklisted in order to use `libertas_tf`.  Additional notes can be found on the [[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Libertas_Thinfirmware_HOWTO|OLPC WiKi]].
