.Sh NAME
.Nm iwifw
.Nd "Firmware Module for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG driver"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this module into the kernel,
place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device iwifw"
.Ed
.Pp
This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.
If you want to pick only the firmware image for the mode you want to operate
your network adapter in choose one of the following:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device iwibssfw"
.Cd "device iwiibssfw"
.Cd "device iwimonitorfw"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following lines in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
iwi_bss_load="YES"
iwi_ibss_load="YES"
iwi_monitor_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This module provides access to firmware sets for the
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG series of IEEE 802.11 adapters.
It may be statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
.Pp
For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at
.Pa /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_iwi/LICENSE
must be agreed to by adding the following line to
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Pp
.Dl "legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1"
