26.Sh NAME
27.Nm ipwfw
28.Nd "Firmware Module for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 driver"
29.Sh SYNOPSIS
30To compile this module into the kernel,
31place the following line in your
32kernel configuration file:
33.Bd -ragged -offset indent
34.Cd "device ipwfw"
35.Ed
36.Pp
37This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.
38If you want to pick only the firmware image for the mode you want to operate
39your network adapter in choose one of the following:
40.Bd -ragged -offset indent
41.Cd "device ipwbssfw"
42.Cd "device ipwibssfw"
43.Cd "device ipwmonitorfw"
44.Ed
45.Pp
46Alternatively, to load the driver as a
47module at boot time, place the following lines in
48.Xr loader.conf 5 :
49.Bd -literal -offset indent
50ipw_bss_load="YES"
51ipw_ibss_load="YES"
52ipw_monitor_load="YES"
53.Ed
54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55This module provides access to firmware sets for the
56Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 series of IEEE 802.11 adapters.
57It may be statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
58.Pp
59For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at
60.Pa /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw.LICENSE
61must be agreed to by adding the following line to
