Marvell wireless chips

There is currently no native driver for Marvell wireless chips, and due to the fact that Marvell refuse to disclose any information on how their chip works, it is unlikely to appear soon.

If you happen to have one of those chips:

  • Install the driver-marvell package through Mission Control->Install Software. This package contains parts of the InProComm driver for Windows XP that can be addressed through the ndiswrapper tool included in the standard Ark kernel
  • Reboot
  • Your wireless chipset should now show up as "wlan0" in the network config tool.
  • Let your hardware vendor and Marvell know that you will boycott their products in the future unless they change their policy on (not) supporting non-Microsoft operating systems.
