The popular ESP8266 microcontrollers that have become rather popular
recently are rebranded ESP8089s. If you want to test this driver and
lack a board with one built in, here are some instructions on using
ESP-03 boards as an SDIO WiFi card on a Raspberry Pi:

https://hackaday.io/project/8678-rpi-wifi

This project eventually evolved into a RasPi hat, however the initial
instructions should be usable with any development board with exposed
SDIO lines by anyone who isn't afraid of fine-pitch soldering.

Thanks,
