Interesting; it does take the firmware upload though, right? What
firmware version gets reported by the driver when it loads? I'll have
to try again with my Netgear PCI card which was a lot more unhappy with
the driver than my 3Com CardBus one.
I spent some time checking through marvell.git from Linville's repo on
kernel.org too, and it looks like we may be able to pull a lot of
constants and commands from that. The RX and TX descriptors are
somewhat different, but I've generally found that Marvell's drivers and
firmware share a lot of API/ABI (would be stupid to break stuff all the
time anyway, even in closed source). We may be able to use mrv8k for
the TopDog 802.11n PCI and USB parts as well since they are so similar
from a programming perspective.
