+.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:
+.Pp
+.Bl -column -compact "Microcom Travelcard" "MALO111" "CardBus" "a/b/g" -offset 6n
+.Em "Card Chip Bus Standard"
+Netgear WG311v3 88W8335 PCI b/g
+Tenda TWL542P 88W8335 PCI b/g
+U-Khan UW-2054i 88W8335 PCI b/g
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Join an existing BSS network (ie: connect to an access point):

+.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:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
