That means the > linux-firmware git repo won't work out of the box, I think? Correct. I stuffed all the firmware into the git repo that I could find, but because I didn't quite get around to doing firmware name fallbacks in the driver (so we don't break existing installs) the driver hasn't been updated yet. I'd like to do a couple fallbacks actually; something like a priority ordering of [<old name>, libertas/sd8686_helper_v9.bin, libertas/sd8686_helper_v8.bin] so that we can use either v8 and v9 firmware if we need to; not all the v9 functionality has been added yet. v10 is out there too but I haven't seen it in the wild yet.
