[Server-devel] [XSCE] cubox wifi

[Jon Nettleton]

George,

I agree, but the device-tree cookbook description is not as simple as
the legacy way of setting up a new kernel.  There are lots of
variables that need to be taken into account depending on the kernel
version, board version, u-boot version OS etc.  Writing a proper
cookbook is time I just don't have.  Hopefully one of the other
contributors will step up and get it done.

-Jon
