+.Sh NAME
+.Nm malo
+.Nd Marvell Libertas IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless network device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "malo* at cardbus?"
+.Cd "malo* at pci?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based
+PCI/Cardbus network adapters.
+The 88W8335 is a second generation device which supports 802.11b/g.
+.Pp
+These are the modes the
+.Nm
+driver can operate in:
+.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX"
+.It BSS mode
+Also known as
+.Em infrastructure
+mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through
+which all traffic passes.
+This mode is the default.
+.\" .It IBSS mode
+.\" Also known as
+.\" .Em IEEE ad-hoc
+.\" mode or
+.\" .Em peer-to-peer
+.\" mode.
+.\" This is the standardized method of operating without an access point.
+.\" Stations associate with a service set.
+.\" However, actual connections between stations are peer-to-peer.
+.\" .It Host AP
+.\" In this mode the driver acts as an access point (base station)
+.\" for other cards.
+.\" .It monitor mode
+.\" In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without
+.\" associating with an access point.
+.\" This disables the internal receive filter and enables the card to
+.\" capture packets from networks which it wouldn't normally have access to,
+.\" or to scan for access points.
+.El
+.Pp
+.\" .Nm
+.\" supports hardware WEP.
+.\" Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard
+.\" for wireless networks.
+.\" It can be typically configured in one of three modes:
+.\" no encryption; 40-bit encryption; or 104-bit encryption.
+.\" Unfortunately, due to serious weaknesses in WEP protocol
+.\" it is strongly recommended that it not be used as the
+.\" sole mechanism to secure wireless communication.
+.\" WEP is not enabled by default.
+.\" .Pp
+The transmit speed is user-selectable or can be adapted automatically by the
+driver depending on the received signal strength and on the number of hardware
+transmission retries.
+See
+.Xr rssadapt 9
+for more information.
+.Sh CONFIGURATION
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured at runtime with
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or on boot with
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+using the following parameters:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Cm bssid Ar bssid
+Set the desired BSSID.
+.It Fl bssid
+Unset the desired BSSID.
+The interface will automatically select a BSSID in this mode, which is
+the default.
+.It Cm chan Ar n
+Set the channel (radio frequency) to be used by the driver based on
+the given channel ID
+.Ar n .
+.It Fl chan
+Unset the desired channel to be used by the driver.
+The driver will automatically select a channel in this mode, which is
+the default.
+.It Cm media Ar media
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following
+.Ar media
+types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width autoselect -compact
+.It Cm autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+.It Cm DS1
+Set 802.11b DS 1Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS2
+Set 802.11b DS 2Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS5
+Set 802.11b DS 5.5Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS11
+Set 802.11b DS 11Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM6
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 6Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM9
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 9Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM12
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 12Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM18
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 18Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM24
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 24Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM36
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 36Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM48
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 48Mbps operation.
+.It Cm OFDM54
+Set 802.11a/g OFDM 54Mbps operation.
+.El
+.It Cm mediaopt Ar opts
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width monitor -compact
+.It Cm hostap
+Select Host AP operation.
+.It Cm ibss
+Select IBSS operation.
+.\".It Cm monitor
+.\"Select monitor mode.
+.El
+.It Fl mediaopt Ar opts
+Disable the specified media options on the driver and return it to the
+default mode of operation (BSS).
+.It Cm mode Ar mode
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following modes:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width 11b -compact
+.It Cm 11a
+Force 802.11a operation.
+.It Cm 11b
+Force 802.11b operation.
+.It Cm 11g
+Force 802.11g operation.
+.El
+.It Cm nwid Ar id
+Set the network ID.
+The
+.Ar id
+can either be any text string up to 32 characters in length,
+or a series of hexadecimal digits up to 64 digits.
+An empty
+.Ar id
+string allows the interface to connect to any available access points.
+By default the
+.Nm
+driver uses an empty string.
+Note that network ID is synonymous with Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).
+.It Cm nwkey Ar key
+Enable WEP encryption using the specified
+.Ar key .
+The
+.Ar key
+can either be a string, a series of hexadecimal digits (preceded by
+.Sq 0x ) ,
+or a set of keys of the form
+.Dq n:k1,k2,k3,k4 ,
+where
+.Sq n
+specifies which of the keys will be used for transmitted packets,
+and the four keys,
+.Dq k1
+through
+.Dq k4 ,
+are configured as WEP keys.
+If a set of keys is specified, a comma
+.Pq Sq \&,
+within the key must be escaped with a backslash.
+Note that if multiple keys are used, their order must be the same within
+the network.
+.Nm
+is capable of using both 40-bit (5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits)
+or 104-bit (13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits) keys.
+.It Fl nwkey
+Disable WEP encryption.
+This is the default mode of operation.
+.El
+.Sh FILES
+The driver needs a set of firmware files which are loaded when
+an interface is brought up:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
+.It Pa /etc/firmware/88w8335
+.El
+.Pp
+These firmware files are not free because Marvell refuses
+to grant distribution rights.
+In fact they have rebuffed thousands
+of attempts to start a dialogue on this issue.
+As a result, even though
+.Ox
+includes the driver, the firmware files cannot be included and
+users have to download these files on their own.
+.Pp
+A prepackaged version of the firmware, designed to be used with
+.Xr pkg_add 1 ,
+can be found at:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+http://www.nazgul.ch/malo/malo-firmware-1.0.tgz
+.Ed
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following cards are among those supported by the
+.Nm
+driver:
+.Pp
+.Bl -column -compact "Microcom Travelcard" "MALO111" "CardBus" "a/b/g" -offset 6n
+.Em "Card Chip Bus Standard"
+Netgear WG511v2 88W8335 Cardbus b/g
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+example configures malo0 to join whatever network is available on boot,
+using WEP key
+.Dq 0x1deadbeef1 ,
+channel 11, obtaining an IP address using DHCP:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dhcp NONE NONE NONE nwkey 0x1deadbeef1 chan 11
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+example creates a host-based access point on boot:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE media autoselect \e
+ mediaopt hostap nwid my_net chan 11
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Configure malo0 for WEP, using hex key
+.Dq 0x1deadbeef1 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig malo0 nwkey 0x1deadbeef1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Return malo0 to its default settings:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig malo0 -bssid -chan media autoselect \e
+ nwid "" -nwkey
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Join an existing BSS network,
+.Dq my_net :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig malo0 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net
