I've recently been researching this [1], and there seems to be two
possible SD sized SDIO options for AR6001 based devices (note that
AR6002 devices do have a blob that needs to be loaded from linux):

1. SX-SDWAG (preferable as it has built in antenna)
http://www.silexamerica.com/products/wireless_modules/sx-sdwag.html
(Currently trying to source from a few places; one place had it listed
but is currently out of stock; I'll see what they do with my order.)

2. CAW-SDIOG
