I picked up a copy of the sd8686 helper and firmware from the Marvell
site (http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do)

I specified Linux 2.6 Fedora as the OS and used
SD-8686-LINUX26-SYSKT-9.70.3.p24-26409.P45-GPL

I copied the helper and sd8686.bin to /lib/firmware (and renamed the
helper to sd8686_helper.bin in the process)

Didn't have much more success though :-(

The error is slightly different now:

mmc1: new SDIO card at address 0001
firmware: requesting sd8686_helper.bin
libertas: failed to load helper firmware
libertas_sdio: probe of mmc1:0001:1 failed with error -84

Before beating my head against the wall too much on this, I've
requested a copy of the proper helper and firmware from wi2wi, since
it is not at all clear to me that the ones from the Marvell site are
the correct ones.

I'm not aware of anyone else who has used the hsmmc driver with SDIO,
so I think we are pioneering.  Certainly the libertas_sdio driver
itself has been proven on other hw.

TI claims that the 1.0.2 release of the 35XX EVM software will support
the libertas_sdio driver via the EVM's mmc slot.  However, I don't see
that version of the software yet on the TI site, and my guess is that
it will be using the internal TI kernel and not linux-omap.
