I realize I am slightly pushing my luck, but I added this el-cheapo
88W8338 -based "Compoint EVWL-GI-700S" USB stick's USB ID "0x1286,
0x1fab" to libertas/usb8xxx.c and chanced my arm.

If it's 8338, it's certainly not gonna work with this driver.  Did you

Yes I do actually say in that rather obfuscated sentence above that I
added the USB ID and accepted I was pushing my luck doing so.  But...
the driver took the bold step of calling itself usb8xxx...

Yeah, I'm wondering whether we should change that...  I don't know what
the policy on changing driver names is though, but given that the driver
isn't extensively used yet, we may be able to.

Of course this can be due to the luck-pushing, but it seemed it might
also be a genuine problem with the error handling.

One of the other cheapo cards I randomly got was a Libertas 88W8335 PC
Card, I assume I am SOL on that as well.
