Marcelo, We feel that whenever OLPC schedules a build of laptops, the wireless firmware to be used in them should be the last stable version which has been released through Marvell website and has most of the bug fixes from the Marvell engineering team as well as the required feature set targeted for that build of laptops. Also, more importantly, we would also like to make sure that the wireless firmware has passed most of the tests done by the Marvell QA team. All this takes time and in this build's case, since the multicast support is required and has been very newly added, there was not enough time to rigorously test the development firmware released on the TechWiki by Cozybit or even time to merge the recent bug fixes to this version of the firmware. Hence, I said that "for the purpose of this build, we will have to use the development build released by Cozybit on the TechWiki". So, I would look at this more as an exception than a regular behavior that we would like to follow going forward.

What is not clear to me is whether we can include such release in our OS build or not? It appears that we can, given your comment above saying "For the purpose of the build, we will have to use the development build released by Cozybit on the TechWiki". Is that right?
