NAME
     ispfw -- Firmware Module for Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters

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

           device ispfw

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

           ispfw_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters.  It may either be stati-
     cally linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.  In either case, the isp(4) driver will notice that firmware is available to be down-
     loaded onto Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards).  This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.
