Hi,
I've gotten mrv8k to the point where I can get scan results with it on
my 3COM 3CRGPC10075 CardBus card. Data RX still doesn't work for some
reason and WEP associations still fail with a mac80211 timeout. Enough
for today though. All changes pushed to mrv8k.git on infradead.

Hi Dan,
I just tested it and my Option Fusion+ HSDPA card does not scan:
May 21 08:52:17 shelbyville kernel: Command timeout
May 21 08:52:17 shelbyville kernel: Could not set channel
May 21 08:52:17 shelbyville kernel: ~Failed to set channel
May 21 08:52:17 shelbyville kernel: wlan1: failed to set freq to 2417 MHz for scan
May 21 08:52:19 shelbyville kernel: Command timeout
May 21 08:52:19 shelbyville kernel: Could not set channel
May 21 08:52:19 shelbyville kernel: ~Failed to set channel
May 21 08:52:19 shelbyville kernel: wlan1: failed to set freq to 2422 MHz for scan
[...]
I also got some lockups, however I have no infrastructure setup to debug
those.
Thanks for all your efforts,
Markus

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.

The firmware loads fine for me, see below:
May 21 08:50:40 shelbyville kernel: 0000:16:00.0 (mrv8k): successfully uploaded firmware
May 21 08:50:40 shelbyville kernel: 0000:16:00.0 (mrv8k): MAC address 00:0c:e3:xx:xx:xx
May 21 08:50:40 shelbyville kernel: 0000:16:00.0 (mrv8k): HW ver. 3, FW ver. 0x3020007, 2 antennas, regulatory domain EU

Yay, this means the regulatory domain codes are what I expected them to
be :) Also, is this an 8335, or an 8310?
