28.Sh NAME
29.Nm iwnfw
30.Nd "Firmware Module for Intel Wireless driver"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this module into the kernel,
33place the following line in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device iwnfw"
37.Ed
38.Pp
39This will include firmware images for all
40.Xr iwn 4
41devices inside the kernel.
42If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one
43of the following:
44.Bd -ragged -offset indent
45.Cd "device iwn1000fw"
46.Cd "device iwn100fw"
47.Cd "device iwn105fw"
48.Cd "device iwn135fw"
49.Cd "device iwn2000fw"
50.Cd "device iwn2030fw"
51.Cd "device iwn4965fw"
52.Cd "device iwn5000fw"
53.Cd "device iwn5150fw"
54.Cd "device iwn6000fw"
55.Cd "device iwn6000g2afw"
56.Cd "device iwn6000g2bfw"
57.Cd "device iwn6050fw"
58.Ed
59.Pp
60Alternatively, to load the driver as a
61module at boot time, place the following line in
62.Xr loader.conf 5 :
63.Bd -literal -offset indent
