NAME
       mwl - Marvell 88W8363 IEEE802.11b/g Wireless Network Device Driver

DESCRIPTION
       The  mwl	 IEEE802.11b/g	wireless  network  device  driver  is a multi-
       threaded, loadable, clonable, GLDv3-based STREAMS driver supporting the
       Marvell 88W8363 IEEE802.11b/g wireless network device.

   Configuration
       The mwl driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and
       mode. The driver supports only BSS networks (also known as ap or infra‐
       structure  networks) and open (or open-system) or shared system authen‐
       tication.

       For wireless security, WEP encryption, WPA-PSk, and WPA2-PSK  are  cur‐
       rently  supported.  You	can  perform  configuration and administration
       tasks using the dladm(1M) and wificonfig(1M) utilities.
