Is it a kind of update on this 2010 post for a guruplug?

yes.

As noted in the LICENSE file, this is all very dirty and
potentially infringant and would make kernel developers moan and
pull their hair out, though the libertas_uap files are indicated as
GPL.

This worries me though.  I'll test it out, but I don't think I'll
merge it till we have the license stuff figured out.  I'm not good
enough at managing my branches (always forgetting which one I'm on),
and a lot of folks (including me) would be kind of horrified to find
ambiguous code in the core.

To be honest, my motivation was limited to finding out if others on this list had to go through the same steps, or if I was just having a problem with my particular version of the DreamPlug. Including these patches in the weekly image isn't something i'd even think about until I had confirmation from somebody with more experience (B'Dale? James?) that it was necessary.

Can you source the URLs in the LICENSE file?  Your sentence just kind
of trails off:

   The ./firmware/mrvl/ files were floating around on my DreamPlug
   and probably came from

Sorry, I seem to have a habit of that ;)
