MALO(4) 		     Kernel Interfaces Manual			 MALO(4)

NAME
     malo -- Marvell Libertas IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driver

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
     kernel configuration file:

	   device malo
	   device pci
	   device wlan
	   device firmware

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_malo_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The malo driver provides support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI and
     Cardbus  network  adapters.   malo supports station and monitor mode opera-
     tion.  Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.  For  more
     information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

     This  driver  requires  firmware  to  be  loaded  before it will work.  The
     ports/net/malo-firmware-kmod port needs to be installed before  ifconfig(8)
     will work.

HARDWARE
     The following cards are among those supported by the malo driver:

     Card		Chip	   Bus	  Standard
     Netgear WG311v3	88W8335    PCI	  b/g
     Tenda TWL542P	88W8335    PCI	  b/g
     U-Khan UW-2054i	88W8335    PCI	  b/g

EXAMPLES
     Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 \
	       netmask 0xffffff00

     Join a specific BSS network with network name "my_net":

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 ssid my_net up

     Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 ssid my_net \
		   wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
