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 infrastructure networks) and  open  (or
     open-system) or shared system authentication.


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