Yes, there is someone working there. A bunch of my patches to 
shape the OLPC driver in a way libertas_lib.ko, libertas_usb.ko, 
libertas_cs.ko got already applied. I made some experiments with 
firmware download, David Anders wrote a fwcutter and so on.

I once created a project 
http://projects.linuxtogo.org/projects/marvell8385/, but most of 
the discussion happend now in the OLPC Marvell mailing list.

Nothing works yet, and I got (and will get) distracted because my 
company switched to SAP Business One and I'm mostly busy 
extracting data out of our old system and putting that into 
SAPB1 :-(  Maybe I have again time this week.
