The text in the description of the malo(4) manpage is incorrect. It states: ' A package for the firmware which can be installed via pkg_add(1) can be found at: <URLHERE>'. However the url refers to a tarred port, which cannot be installed using pkg_add. Fix: Change the text 'A package for the firmware which can be installed via pkg_add(1) can be found at: http://weongyo.org/project/malo/malo-firmware-1.4.tar.gz This package must be installed before ifconfig(8) will work. ' to something like: 'A port for the firmware can be found at: http://weongyo.org/project/malo/malo-firmware-1.4.tar.gz The firmware can be installed by extracting the archive and running 'make install clean' in the malo-firmware-1.4 directory. This port must be installed before ifconfig(8) will work.' How-To-Repeat: run 'man 4 malo'
