linux-firmware has these files:

a1f38d4f36871597530d645752e0b2cb  libertas/sd8686_v8.bin
6edc7f5032463c294eb1b738482f734d  libertas/sd8686_v8_helper.bin
20208583d441d1ecd7a05d5e5cda5856  libertas/sd8686_v9.bin
2a4d8f4df198ce949c350df5674f4ac6  libertas/sd8686_v9_helper.bin

The last of these matches sd8686_helper.bin in linux-firmware.

I symlinked sd8686{,_helper}.bin to the v8 files, assuming that old
drivers using those file names would not work with v9.  But that seems
to be wrong - in which case, do the v8 files have any use?

linux-firmware has these files:

5e38f55719df3d0c58dd3bd02575a09c  libertas/usb8388_olpc.bin
d288445f1fe8cbb14df0aebc6ce1d71f  libertas/usb8388_v5.bin
c6f0fb161af32228b59478d381293426  libertas/usb8388_v9.bin

The first of these matches usb8388.bin in libertas-firmware
(v5.110.22.p23).  But the mainline driver won't use the filename
libertas/usb8388_olpc.bin unless explicitly configured to do so.

I symlinked usb8388.bin to libertas/usb8388_v5.bin.

linux-firmware does actually have these files, but as I said they aren't
referenced.
