.Nd "Firmware Module for Realtek Wireless driver"
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
To compile this module into the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
|
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device urtwnfw"
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one
|
|
|
|
|
of the following:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device urtwn-rtl8192cfwT"
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device urtwn-rtl8192cfwU"
|
2014-04-25 08:01:22 +00:00
|
|
|
.Cd "device urtwn-rtl8188eufw"
|

|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
|
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
