I'll get back to you on that.   This isn't the firmware, it is the
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/*.ko
modules, libertas and usb8xxx
Right now the horrible inclusion path is manually pulling it from the
olpc-2.6/stable tree, patching it for the 2.6.23 kernel, and checking  
the
compiled modules into the xs-config git tree.   (Traditionally done on
schoolserver.laptop.org, not xs-dev.)   Breaking this out and automating
it is long overdue.

Cheers,
