.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm iwnfw
|
|
.Nd "Firmware Module for Intel 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 iwnfw"
|
|
.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 iwn4965fw"
|
|
.Cd "device iwn1000fw"
|
|
.Cd "device iwn5000fw"
|
|
.Cd "device iwn5150fw"
|
|
.Cd "device iwn6000fw"
|
|
.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
|
|
iwn4965fw_load="YES"
|
|
iwn1000fw_load="YES"
|
|
iwn5000fw_load="YES"
|
|
iwn5150fw_load="YES"
|
|
iwn6000fw_load="YES"
|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This module provides access to firmware sets for the
|
|
Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965, 1000, 5000 and 6000 series of
