Back in the 2010 timeframe, there was an effort to add Access Point capability to first the XO1, and later the XO1.5. Of particular interest to me is [1], which documents in detail how to install and configure the Thinfirm libertas driver. I found evidence in the git repo [2] that the driver was built and tested upon kernel version 2.6.22.
Javier configured the kernel via [3], which I think I have applied to kernel 3.3.8 (the kernel used in FC18, and the most recent 13.2.5 releases). I have attempted to follow the instructions in release notes [4]: - "modprobe libertas_tf" loads mac80311, and libertas_tf - put the firmware in /lib/firmware/sd8686tf.bin - But no interrupts show up in /proc/interrupts and no devices apparent to iwconfig. Does anyone know that thinfirm does or does not function on kernel-3.3.8? Is there someone who has more knowledge who would be willing to coach/assist?
