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
