35.Nd Broadcom Home Networking Division ChipCommon Driver
36.Sh SYNOPSIS
37To compile this driver into the kernel, add this line to the
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device bhnd"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43To compile driver support for all additional devices found in embedded systems,
44add the following additional lines to the kernel configuration file:
