Sorry, must of missed it...

You can always ask the vendor...  Though you probably know the answer,
at least they know that there is demand for support...

Yeh, as you said, it's a Marvell 9485 chip, and usually they don't change
the id of the chip when they integrate it into their product...  You could
also ask Marvell for a driver too...

So, yes, looks like that card is unsupported, and w/o the vendor
willing to either write a driver, or release docs to someone who can,
it won't get written...
