BUG from BugLabs uses Marvell SPI and SDIO firmwares for 8686 wifi chipset. 
Present version of hardware (r1.3) comes with SDIO connected wifi and uses  
firmwares/marvell-sdio-fw_9.70.3-p37.bb recipe for it. 

Older firmwares/marvell-gspi-fw_9.70.3-p37.bb recipe is used for BugWifi 
module support which adds SPI connected Wifi/BT for older hardware revisions.

And this device is supported in OpenEmbedded - we use stable/2009 for it plus 
own overlay.
