I was googling a couple days ago to see whether there is any
open-source SDIO wifi card. I found this:

and some other clue somewhere that there might be an open-source
driver; and then found some on ebay:

so I ordered a couple. Now I'm trying to find the firmware,
sd8385_helper.bin and sd8385.bin.

says it can be gotten from the Marvell site somewhere. Any ideas more
specifically? Lemme guess... it's not redistributable?
This page

says it "comes with the 2.4 code"... hmm would that be the GPL release
from Motorola, happened to include the firmware?
Hmm looks like the Blackfin Linux project is using that chip too:
