the OLPC utilizes a 88w8388 baseband processor along with a 88w8015 rf transceiver connected via an internal USB interface.
the XBox 360 wireless module is also based on the 88w8388 and possibly can be used with the olpc firmware: http://www.free60.org/oldwiki/Wifi_Adapter
there is a project to take the driver developed for the OLPC and utilized it for all of the libertas family including 88w8385 cf cards: http://projects.linuxtogo.org/projects/marvell8385/
