Hi,

For anyone else trying to get this the Marvel chip set CF working...

To add the modules to a bitbake build edit:
"org.openembedded.stable/packages/linux/linux-rp-2.6.24/defconfig-akita"
Add the lines:
CONFIG_LIBERTAS=m
CONFIG_LIBERTAS_CS=m

Get the firmware using:
Run "git clone git://git.infradead.org/users/schurig/libertas-tools.git tools"
Change to the "tools" directory and run "make".
This will give you the firmware files  libertas_cs.fw  & libertas_cs_helper.fw
which will need to be copied to the "/lib/firmware" directory on the Z.

It looks like 8385 support is being added to bitbake atm. These instructions are
for the impatient newbies like me.

Cheers,

Colin
