(Another post suggested it's a Marvell cf8385 or thereabouts.)

There seems to be an archive with Linux cf8385 device drivers on the net -- if the man page to that is correct, this device has more modes and settings than a hedgehog has spines. Many power-save modes ... but the question is: does the iLiad device driver implement these? Or is the current version a quick and dirty version to get something up and running?

And is it even an 8385? Or just something that looks like one from afar?

This is iRex country. Maps are not available.

marvell is at www.marvell.com, but 8385 does not seem to be anything they are prepared to talk about, unless perhaps you register with them.
