26.Sh NAME
27.Nm iwnfw
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 iwnfw"
35.Ed
36.Pp
37This will include firmware images for all
38.Xr iwn 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 iwn1000fw"
44.Cd "device iwn100fw"
45.Cd "device iwn105fw"
46.Cd "device iwn135fw"
47.Cd "device iwn2000fw"
48.Cd "device iwn2030fw"
49.Cd "device iwn4965fw"
50.Cd "device iwn5000fw"
51.Cd "device iwn5150fw"
52.Cd "device iwn6000fw"
53.Cd "device iwn6000g2afw"
54.Cd "device iwn6000g2bfw"
55.Cd "device iwn6050fw"
56.Ed
57.Pp
58Alternatively, to load the driver as a
59module at boot time, place the following line in
60.Xr loader.conf 5 :
61.Bd -literal -offset indent
