NAME

       atmel_fwl - Load firmware into Atmel at76c50x wireless networking chips.

SYNOPSIS

       atmel_fwl <interface> /path/to/firmware

DESCRIPTION

       atmel_fwl loads firmware images for Atmel at76c50x series wireless networking chips into the Linux driver for same.

       Note  that this utility is not normally necessary, since the driver will automatically load the correct firmware image via the hotplug sys-
       tem. Atmel_fwl is provided for applications where use of the hotplug system may not be desirable.

       atmel_fwl should be run after the interface has been created (after card insertion, in the case of PCMCIA cards) but before it  is  brought
       up by running ifconfig.

NOTES

       Note that there are two versions of many of the firmware images, the second one with the suffix "-wpa". These are later releases from Atmel
       which support WPA privacy. They are only usable by versions of the driver greater than 0.9. Be sure not to use the "-wpa" one  unless  your
       in-kernel driver code is version 0.9 or better. Sadly, as of version 0.9, the in-kernel driver does not actually support the setting of WPA
       passphrases.

       The firmware images are usually installed in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.

       The status of the driver, including its firmware loading, is available in /proc/driver/atmel

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.conf(5):

	   if_malo_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The malo driver provides support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI and Cardbus network adapters.  malo supports station and monitor mode
     operation.  Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.  For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

     This driver requires the 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:

	   http://weongyo.org/project/malo/malo-firmware-1.4.tar.gz

     The firmware kernel module can be installed by extracting the archive and running 'make install clean' in the malo-firmware-1.4 directory.

HARDWARE

     The following cards are among those supported by the malo driver:

	   Card 		  Chip	     Bus	Standard
	   Netgear WG311v3	  88W8335    PCI	b/g
	   Tenda TWL542P	  88W8335    PCI	b/g
	   U-Khan UW-2054i	  88W8335    PCI	b/g

EXAMPLES

     Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 inet 192.168.0.20 
	       netmask 0xffffff00

     Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net'':

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 ssid my_net up

     Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:

	   ifconfig wlan create wlandev malo0 ssid my_net 
		   wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up

HISTORY

     The malo device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 7.1.
