libertas wasn't written for 8335 chips. The whole of libertas, 
including "if_cs.c", is currently only for 8385 chips.

I saw a driver for 8335 chips at 
http://david.woodhou.se/mrv.tar.gz. Do you refer to the same 
one?

As this driver was originally written for mac80211, I'd prefer it 
over a driver/net/wireless/libertas based driver, e.g. via an 
hyptothetical "if_pci.c". Maybe you need to dust of a bit of 
bitrot. Maybe it's even worth pushing this driver into shape and 
submitting it to Linville for kernel adoption.
