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 lines in loader.conf5:

 if_malo_load="YES"
 wlan_load="YES"
 firmware_load="YES"
 

In both cases, place the following line in loader.conf5 to load the firmware module:

 malofw_load="YES"
 

DESCRIPTION

The driver provides support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI network adapters.

This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work. These firmware files are from the Ox driver.

A package for the firmware which can be installed via pkg_add1 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).
