This is actually completely different hardware (it's a softmac design
while the current driver is fullmac), and thus won't be supported by the
existing libertas driver.

However, there is ongoing work to get these cards supported in the mrv8k
driver.  It's going slowly and is nowhere near usable yet.  But we
should be able to get support for the 8310, 8335, and TopDog PCI/USB
chipsets into the mrv8k driver as their firmware interfaces are all
pretty similar and we've got existing GPL sources to work from.
