|
|
|
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
To compile this module into the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
|
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
.Cd "device iwnfw"

|
|
|
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 iwn4965fw"
|
2010-02-08 21:38:42 +00:00
|
|
|
.Cd "device iwn1000fw"
|
2009-10-25 11:01:53 +00:00
|
|
|
.Cd "device iwn5000fw"
|
2010-02-08 21:38:42 +00:00

Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
|
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
