.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm malo
|
|
.Nd "Marvell Libertas IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device"
|
|
.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
|
|
if_malo_load="YES"
|
|
wlan_load="YES"
|
|
firmware_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In both cases, place the following lines in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5
|
|
to load the firmware modules:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
malofw_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI
|
|
network adapters.
|
|
.Sh FILES
|
|
The driver needs a firmware kernel module which is used when
|
|
an interface is brought up. This firmware files are comed from
|
|
.Ox
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A port package for the firmware can be found at:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
http://weongyo.org/project/malo/malo-firmware-1.4.tar.gz
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
You need to install this port package manually before
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8
|
|
will work.
|
|
.Sh HARDWARE
|
|
The following cards are among those supported by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver:

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Join an existing BSS network (ie: connect to an access point):
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ifconfig malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Join a specific BSS network with network name
|
|
.Dq Li my_net :

.Pp
|
|
.Dl "ifconfig malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Join a specific BSS network with WEP encryption:
