NAME

     iwnfw --- Firmware Module for Intel Wireless driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this module into the kernel, place the following line in your
     kernel configuration file:

       device iwnfw

     This will include firmware images for all iwn(4) devices inside the
     kernel.  If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network
     adapter choose one of the following:

       device iwn1000fw
       device iwn100fw
       device iwn105fw
       device iwn135fw
       device iwn2000fw
       device iwn2030fw
       device iwn4965fw
       device iwn5000fw
       device iwn5150fw
       device iwn6000fw
       device iwn6000g2afw
       device iwn6000g2bfw
       device iwn6050fw

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

       iwn1000fw_load="YES"
       iwn100fw_load="YES"
       iwn105fw_load="YES"
       iwn135fw_load="YES"
       iwn2000fw_load="YES"
       iwn2030fw_load="YES"
       iwn4965fw_load="YES"
       iwn5000fw_load="YES"
       iwn5150fw_load="YES"
       iwn6000fw_load="YES"
       iwn6000g2afw_load="YES"
       iwn6000g2bfw_load="YES"
       iwn6050fw_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     This module provides access to firmware sets for the Intel Wireless WiFi
     Link 100, 105, 135, 1000, 2000, 2030, 4965, 5000 and 6000 series of IEEE
     802.11n adapters.  It may be statically linked into the kernel, or loaded
     as a module.
