The differences between the USB version and the SDIO version are rather small. That said, I have quite a lot of things on my TODO list so it is going to take some time until I can look at this. It may make sense to pull a cleaned up version of the vendor driver into staging until then if there is a desperate need for it, but otherwise any help would be appreciated :) Jes
