Active Antenna for School Server

The XO and XS (Active Antenna) use Marvell Libertas wireless chipset, 88W8388 controller and 88W8015 radio.

(XBox Wireless Adapter) work? If nobody tells me that this will NOT work i'm willing to buy and try.....

Or can i buy an Active Antenna from OLPC for setting up the SchoolServer?

I doubt the 88W8338 will work since it has less RAM than the 88W8388. I have tried loading the OLPC firmware on this device and it fails unfortunately.
