May I ask you why do you need this information?

I would recommend to try 0.8.1 version with the following patch applied:
https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/cx3110x-devel/2008-February/000019.html

It has the following improvements (in addition to having WLAN memory 
corruption fix of course):
* Fix for a problem such as 'WLAN fails although in use and shown in status
bar as active' on downloading large amounts of data
* Performance optimizations for getting better download speed (by doing some
useful work when waiting for DMA transfer completion instead of just
busylooping)
* Higher McBSP clock speed ('overclocked' to 15.7MHz from 10.5MHz, but it
works fine even with 21MHz for me). If in doubt, clock frequency can
be easily restored back to the original value. Even running at default low
frequency, it should be both faster and more reliable than the version from
HackerEdition.

That's a cumulative patch, but I have a local SVN repository with all this
stuff. Depending on the feedback, I may be encouraged to try adding some 
more performance optimizations (reduce CPU usage and get even better download
throughput) :) Registering new project on garage may be a right thing to do
(with a name 'cx3110x-n770' or something like this).
