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 three firmware images inside the kernel. If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one of the following:

device iwn1000fw 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.conf5:

iwn1000fw_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 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.
