+.Sh NAME
+.Nm malo
+.Nd "Marvell Libertas IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driver"
+.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"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI
+and Cardbus network adapters.
+.Nm
+supports
+.Cm station
+and
+.Cm monitor
+mode operation.
+Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Pp
+This driver requires the
+.Nm malofw
+firmware kernel module be installed before it will work.
+The firmware files are not publicly available.
+A port of the firmware can be found at:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+http://weongyo.org/project/malo/malo-firmware-1.4.tar.gz
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The firmware kernel module can be installed by extracting
+the archive and running
+.Ql make install clean
+in the
+.Pa malo-firmware-1.4
+directory.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following cards are among those supported by the
+.Nm
+driver:
+.Bl -column "Netgear WG311v3" "88W8335" "PCI" "b/g"
+.Em "Card" Ta Em "Chip" Ta Em "Bus" Ta Em "Standard"
+.It "Netgear WG311v3" Ta "88W8335" Ta "PCI" Ta "b/g"

+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 \e
+ netmask 0xffffff00
+.Ed
+.Pp

+.Dq Li my_net :
+.Pp
+.Dl "ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 ssid my_net up"
+.Pp
+Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 ssid my_net \e
+ wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
