That is I try to do. If the two different driver have
the same behavior. I need to re-check our hardware
design or SOC chip errata. iMX31 have several bug with
SD interface with multi-block write operation. I only
try to figure out the way to make module work.

I know that. The libertas more compatible with
wireless extension of linux. I have experiment about
porting NXP BGW2XX driver to linux 2.4 and 2.6. But
NXP drop the product for some reason. So I need to
find other chip like 88w8686.
