MALO 4 +.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

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
