This patch is only for the CF/PCMCIA versions of this those chips. There is no if_pci.c yet inside drivers/net/wireless/libertas/, if you are certain you've a PCI card you're welcome to write one, should be pretty easy. You can get help by looking at the other if_*.c files for other physical interfaces. > You write something > (http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=124334594302472&w=2) that is > cryptic to me.

No, if_spi.c is an indicator that this is for an SPI or GSPI. There's to my knowledge no such thing as a PCI-based Marvell 8385 chip/card/whatever. There is, however, some support for other Marvel 8xxx PCI-based cards in linux, see drivers/net/wireless/mwl8k.c.
