26.Sh NAME
27.Nm ispfw
28.Nd "Firmware for Qlogic FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters"
29.Sh SYNOPSIS
30To compile this driver into the kernel,
31place the following line in your
32kernel configuration file:
33.Bd -ragged -offset indent
34.Cd "device ispfw"
35.Ed
36.Pp
37Alternatively, to load the driver as a
38module at boot time, place the following line in
39.Xr loader.conf 5 :
40.Bd -literal -offset indent
41ispfw_load="YES"
42.Ed
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic
45FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters.
46It may either be
47statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
48In either
49case, the
50.Xr isp 4
51driver will notice that firmware is available to be downloaded onto
52Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards).
53This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.

57This driver was written by
58.An Matthew Jacob .
59Later improvement was done by
