If all that's lacking is a few NICs then I'm sure we/I can help out with
that :)

No, sorry. I misread your statement. I thought you were saying "mvm
cards will also work with iwldvm" rather than "mvm cards will also work
with compat mode" :-)
I think they all should just be made to work in native mode, the
firmware basically supports this as you found, there must be some small
bugs.
