Would be cool to grow some :) So I'll try at least :-) Especially if I manage to get those chips with non-SDIO interface.

It's complicated and best avoided. I don't copy any code, only ideas and constants that are nessesary for writing the code. If someone could assist me in getting docs from Marvell, that would be awesome :) -- Regards, Ilya Bakulin
