30.Nd "Firmware Module for Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Cd "device ispfw"
33.Sh DESCRIPTION
34This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic
35based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters.
36It may either be
37statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
38In either
39case, the
40.Xr isp 4
41driver will notice that firmware is available to be downloaded onto
42Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards).
43This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.
