malo(4) from OpenBSD

[KIYOHARA Takashi <kiyohara%kk.iij4u.or.jp@localhost>]

Hi! all,


I have the possibility of supporting malo@pcmcia of OpenBSD.

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/kiyohara/tmp/if_malo.c
  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/kiyohara/tmp/if_maloreg.h
  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/kiyohara/tmp/if_malovar.h

  OpenBSD's manual page:
    
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=malo&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html


I corrected more this to the correction by fukaumi.  (Thanks fukaumi-san ;-)

I confirmed the execution of some commands succeed send to/receive from
malo(4) on gumstix.  However, I cannot confirm the operation more than
this for some reasons.
Can your test this?

If you have gumstix and wifi module on expansion board then required
the drvctl(8) and 'pseudo-device drvctl' in your GUMSTIX kernel.  This
reason is the 88W8385 modele wired on PCMCIA bus of expansion board.
