I don't know anything about this non-mainline driver, but a quick look
from that page shows me:

The driver is split into a binary part and a source part. The binary
part is a kernel-version and kernel-configuration independent
kernel-space library which also holds the device firmware. The source
part is basically the implementation of the adaptation layers
interfacing the SDIO stack, the TCP/IP stack and the wireless
extensions. This code is dependent on kernel version and configuration,
so it must be compiled for a particular kernel.

Currently, the included library has been compiled for ARM architectures
only. In version 1.0.6 and later, the library has been compiled with the
CodeSourcery GNU EABI toolchain 2011.03-42


So it seems like this should depend on atleast ARM, maybe some processor
variants and perhaps even the codesourcery 2011.03 toolchain?
