I understand the history similar to this:
Marvell driver developed driver
dropped to OLPC
Marvell continued internal driver
Linux community used OLPC driver and
brought it into a linux mainline acceptable form
Marvell released 5.0.16 as GPL
OLPC driver was massaged to support
USB,CF and somwhat to support SDIO
Marvell continued internal driver
Linux community changed OLPC driver
Marvell released v8 to Intel moblinux
Marvell continued internal driver
Linux community changed OLPC driver
Marvell releases v9 to Intel moblinux
From some perspective, I find the current libertas driver in
Linux better (Dan Williams wrote about this).
However, I'd like to compare an early OLPC driver to the v9 that
is in Intel's moblinux tree. This way we can find out what
Marvell changed in the meantime and decide which of those
changes might be beneficial for us.
