The libertas driver is a collection of modules providing support for Marvell Technology Group's Libertas chipsets. On this page we will only detail the setup of the driver for the SDIO interface modules compatible with 88w8686 chipset, used for example on the APF27's wireless extension board.

The Linux drivers are available since 2.6.24 kernel, thanks to the community effort to rewrite Marvell's proprietary drivers.

Installation

Libertas drivers are already installed on your rootfs if you built it with an APF27 as target. The drivers require a proprietary firmware to be downloaded to the chipset before use. This firmware needs to be manually downloaded and installed: 

# TBDL

Usage

# modprobe libertas_sdio
