.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmwl\fR 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.
.SS "Configuration"
.sp
.LP
The \fBmwl\fR driver performs auto-negotiation to determine the data rate and mode. The driver supports only BSS networks (also known as \fBap\fR or \fBinfrastructure\fR networks) and \fBopen\fR (or \fBopen-system\fR)  or \fBshared system\fR authentication. 
.sp
.LP
For wireless security, WEP encryption, WPA-PSk, and WPA2-PSK are currently supported. You can perform configuration and administration tasks using the \fBdladm\fR(1M) utility.
