Where did you get the firmware from?  Does the EW card ship with it's
own firmware?

First thing I'd do is turn on libertas debug by setting the
LIBERTAS_DEBUG Kconfig option, or by #define CONFIG_LIBERTAS_DEBUG in
defs.h.

Next, insmod your libertas.ko like so:

insmod ./libertas.ko libertas_debug=0x4863a7

which turns on the debug output for SDIO and firmware loading a few more
things.  That should help figure out where the issue lies.

Second, what specific SD host controller do you have?
