On the XO-1, the answer was "reverse-engineer the Libertas firmware, recode Cerebro from scratch in C to run at the network layer, even when the CPU is off, and write a new kernel driver that can interface with it". Now that XO-1.5 can no longer forward packets in suspend, reaching parity is somewhat simpler. It still requires, at a minimum, that someone complete the abandoned Telepathy-Synapse connection-manager. In short, it's a major engineering effort involving 802.11 and Telepathy. I would love for someone to take it on, but I haven't heard any noise about it in months.
