Hi Assim!

I don't think many people have been playing with it recently -- though
it is important and we'd love to see it working (and a howto, or
patches, if you come up with any).

I can suggest some leads to follow:

AFAIK, the libertas_tf we carry is the same as upstream, so these
instructions are relevant
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/libertastf

You are talking about building your own kernel -- was libertas_tf not
compiled for the kernel on F11/XO-1?

That's weird, but may be happening in the initramfs.

If the above hints don't help, might be time to open a conversation at
linux-wireles http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/MailingLists#linux-wireless_online_archives

cheers,
