Yes! There is definitely interest in getting the tf driver going with
modern kernels (specially the kernel revisions in use in our F11
images!) to use hostap mode.

With hostap mode, an XO-1 can be an excellent mini-XS. (Without it, it
does work, but is limited to supporting XO-1s with 8.2.x series OSs).
