What kernel version, and if you're using a libertas version not from
that kernel, what date did you pull it from?

It basically means the card wasn't ready to accept another firmware
block after 1 second.  What silicon revision is your 8385 BTW?

Which firmware did you get from there?  Because I'm pretty sure the only
firmware there is CompactFlash firmware, not SDIO firmware, and since
you're apparently using and SDIO part, you probably don't have the right
firmware.  You should have gotten some SDIO firmware from Marvell when
you got the card, or from your upstream supplier.
