NAME

       request_firmware - send firmware request and wait for it

SYNOPSIS

       int request_firmware(const struct firmware ** firmware_p, const char * name, struct device * device);

ARGUMENTS

       firmware_p
	   pointer to firmware image

       name
	   name of firmware file

       device
	   device for which firmware is being loaded

DESCRIPTION

       firmware_p will be used to return a firmware image by the name of name for device device.

       Should be called from user context where sleeping is allowed.

       name will be used as $FIRMWARE in the uevent environment and should be distinctive enough not to be confused with any other firmware image

NAME

     ipwfw -- Firmware Module for Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 driver

SYNOPSIS

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

	   device ipwfw

     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:

	   device ipwbssfw
	   device ipwibssfw
	   device ipwmonitorfw

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

	   ipw_bss_load="YES"
	   ipw_ibss_load="YES"
	   ipw_monitor_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     This module provides access to firmware sets for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 series of IEEE 802.11 adapters.  It may be statically linked
     into the kernel, or loaded as a module.

     For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw/LICENSE must be agreed to by adding the following
     line to loader.conf(5):

	   legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
