[Freedombox-discuss] uap8xxx.ko kernel module

[follow up to RE: FreedomBox Unstable Image 2012.0819 Available]

I've posted the method I used to get my dreamplug (older 8868 WiFi 
chipset) working as an accesspoint using the libertas_uap/uap8xx kernel 
module:

https://github.com/bnewbold/dreamplug-libertas_uap

This repo includes a .ko file that seem to "just work" with the most 
recent weekly unstable image, as well as build directions.

As noted in the LICENSE file, this is all very dirty and potentially 
infringant and would make kernel developers moan and pull their hair out, 
though the libertas_uap files are indicated as GPL.
