This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work. These firmware files are from the OpenBSD malo driver. A package for the firmware which can be installed via pkg_add(1) can be found at: http://weongyo.org/project/malo/malo-firmware-1.4.tar.gz This package must be installed before ifconfig(8) will work. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). 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 malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 Join a specific BSS network with network name "my_net": ifconfig malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net Join a specific BSS network with WEP encryption: ifconfig malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net \ wepmode on wepkey 0x8736639624 SEE ALSO altq(4), arp(4), cardbus(4), netintro(4), pci(4), wlan(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY The malo device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.
