Ok.  I'll have to ask about it on the batman-adv list.

Yes.  We added a Marvell 8787 option to the XO-4.  The 8787 can do
either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz just not simultaneous.  In theory you could use
the 8787 card with an XO-1.75 but the mwifiex driver would need to be
backported on to the 1.75 kernel or OLPC 1.75 specific patches ported
to a newer kernel with mwifiex support.  Both involve a good bit of
effort.
