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
       operation.  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
