open80211s is based on the mac80211 wireless stack and should run on any of the wireless cards that mac80211 supports. At present - september 2008 - four families of drivers are supported or partially supported. The ath5k driver supports Atheros WLAN based chipsets, the b43 driver supports the 802.11 B/G family of wireless chips Broadcom produces, libertas_tf supports the Marvell 88W83886 USB device as found in the OLPC XO-1 laptop, and the zd1211rw driver covers a large proportion of USB-wireless devices on the consumer market as these are based on the ZyDAS ZD1211. Several months after the acquisition, Atheros rebranded the ZyDAS ZD1211 chip to AR5007UG.

=== What is Sugar Labs? ===
Sugar Labs, a (soon to be established) non-profit foundation, serves as a support base and gathering place for the community of educators and software developers who want to extend the Sugar platform and who have been creating Sugar-compatible applications.
=== What is the mission of Sugar Labs? ===
The overarching mission of Sugar Labs is to support the Sugar platform through software development, and community outreach and support. The purpose of the Sugar platform is provide a software and content environment that enhances learning. Towards this end, Sugar is designed to facilitate learners to “explore, express, debug, and critique.”
=== What are the principles that guide Sugar Labs? ===
Sugar Labs subscribes to principle that learning thrives within a culture of freedom of expression, hence it has a natural affinity with the free software movement (Please see [[Sugar_Labs#Principles|Principles]] page in this wiki for more details). The core Sugar platform has been developed under a GNU General Public License (GPL); individual activities may be under different licenses.
=== What is the relationship of Sugar Labs to One Laptop per Child? ===
Sugar was originally developed as the user interface (UI) for the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) XO-1 laptop. Sugar Labs was established as an independent entity in order to facilitate the growth of Sugar beyond any single hardware platform. While Sugar Labs has a cooperative working relationship with OLPC, it is by no means an exclusive or proprietary relationship. Sugar Labs is not bound to any specific hardware platform or Linux distribution (Please see [[Supported systems]]).
Sugar Labs is the upstream community for the Sugar project. Sugar Labs welcomes a close working relationship with OLPC. Sugar Labs also welcomes other laptop manufacturers among others.
OLPC and Sugar Labs are not diverging, we are on the same page; we are both hoping to fund and support Sugar so that we can continue to provide the best learning experience for children. The Sugar Labs initiative is consistent with taking Sugar to the next level; this is not inconsistent with what OLPC is doing. Any help from outside or inside OLPC should help establish Sugar as a more stable and better product.
=== Who is upstream for Sugar? ===
Sugar Labs is the upstream for the Sugar project.
=== Who is Sugar Labs? ===
Sugar is a community project, so it is the sum of those of you who participate. Sugar Labs was started by some Sugar-community members: [[User:Walter|Walter Bender]], [[User:ChristophD|Christoph Derndorfer]], [[User:Bert|Bert Freudenberg]], [[User:Marcopg|Marco Pesenti Gritti]], [[User:Bernie|Bernardo Innocenti]], Aaron Kaplan, [[User:Erikos|Simon Schampijer]], and [[User:Tomeu|Tomeu Vizoso]]. We are in the process of designing an initial set of rules of governance that will be refined and ratified in a process of public discussion.
