I just tried version 9.70.3p24 of the firmware & helper and have
confirmed that it also works.

This version is much more easily available from the Marvell site.  Go to:

http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do

Select "Network Controller" for device type (it's the only choice),
and "Linux 2.6 - Fedora" for the OS.

You will then be offered two choices, pick
SD-8686-LINUX26-SYSKT-9.70.3.p24-26409.P45-GPL.  Extract (and then
extract the tar image contained within) and look in the FWImage
directory.  Copy both .bin files to your omap system's /lib/firmware
directory and rename helper_sd.bin to sd8686.bin.
