[Server-devel] [XSCE] cubox wifi

[Jon Nettleton]

I am not 100% sure what is enabled and what isn't but I believe
wifi/esata/bluetooth are all working.

Should be a good start.  That is a mainline kernel not my patched 3.10
kernel so there are some things that aren't supported but those are
mostly multimedia/graphics related.
