Note this includes changes to all drivers and moves some device firmware loading to use firmware(9) and a separate module (e.g. ral). Also there no longer are separate wlan_scan* modules; this functionality is now bundled into the wlan module. Supported by: Hobnob and Marvell Reviewed by: many Obtained from: Atheros (some bits)

.Nm malo
|
|
.Nd "Marvell Libertas IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driver"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device malo"
|
|
.Cd "device pci"
|
|
.Cd "device wlan"
|
|
.Cd "device firmware"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following lines in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|

|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI
|
|
and Cardbus network adapters.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
supports
|
|
.Cm station ,
|
|
.Cm adhoc ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Cm monitor
|
|
mode operation.
|
|
Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
|
|
For more information on configuring this device, see
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This driver requires the
|
|
.Nm malofw
|
|
be installed before it will work.
|
|
The firmware files are not publicly available.
|
|
A package of the firmware which can be installed via
