29.Sh NAME
30.Nm ispfw
31.Nd "Firmware Module for Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters"
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Cd "device ispfw"
34.Sh DESCRIPTION
35This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic
36based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters.
37It may either be
38statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
39In either
40case, the
41.Xr isp 4
42driver will notice that firmware is available to be downloaded onto
43Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards).
44This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.
