26.Sh NAME
27.Nm iwmfw
28.Nd "Firmware Module for Intel Wireless 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 iwmfw"
35.Ed
36.Pp
37This will include firmware images for all
38.Xr iwm 4
39devices inside the kernel.
40If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one
41of the following:
42.Bd -ragged -offset indent
43.Cd "device iwm3160fw"
44.Cd "device iwm3168fw"
45.Cd "device iwm7260fw"
46.Cd "device iwm7265fw"
47.Cd "device iwm7265Dfw"
48.Cd "device iwm8000Cfw"
49.Cd "device iwm8265fw"
50.Cd "device iwm9000fw"
51.Cd "device iwm9260fw"
52.Ed
53.Pp
54Alternatively, to load the driver as a
55module at boot time, place one of the following lines in
56.Xr loader.conf 5 :
57.Bd -literal -offset indent
58iwm3160fw_load="YES"
59iwm3168fw_load="YES"
