Right, but that doesn't solve the original issue that the driver is
named "usb8xxx" and doesn't work with the 833x series.  Maybe we just
ignore that.  The current driver will likely work with the libertas 86xx
chips (8682, 8686, 8688) too, so that just leaves the 833x, 831x, and
830x chips.  Some of those are really, really old.  Others (like 833x)
you can still find in a lot of places.
