Network Card
- Marvell 88W8388,
- 802.11b/g compatible;
- Dual adjustable, rotating coaxial antennas;
- Supports diversity reception
Installing Wireless
Tested with Build 76 by Quozl and JvC on OLPC hardware. Verified it still works on Build 81 by Scytacki. rminnich just tested and build 83 works. Teus confirms that build 91 works.
- Attach antennae (so as to prevent damage)
- Obtain the firmware file usb8388_A1_W8015FP14_FW2.bin from https://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=160&pId=38
- Rename the file to /lib/firmware/usb8388.bin
- Reboot
The result was that eth0 appeared in ifconfig, and the browser was able to access google.com, thanks to the automatic network configuration.
If you need to setup specific Essids or Keys, look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-wireless for documentation, and add appropriate variables to ifcfg-eth0.
