REQUEST_FIRMWARE_NOW(9) 				   Device drivers infrastructure				   REQUEST_FIRMWARE_NOW(9)

NAME

       request_firmware_nowait - asynchronous version of request_firmware

SYNOPSIS

       int request_firmware_nowait(struct module * module, int uevent, const char * name, struct device * device, gfp_t gfp, void * context,
				   void (*cont) (const struct firmware *fw, void *context));

ARGUMENTS

       module
	   module requesting the firmware

       uevent
	   sends uevent to copy the firmware image if this flag is non-zero else the firmware copy must be done manually.

       name
	   name of firmware file

       device
	   device for which firmware is being loaded

       gfp
	   allocation flags

       context
	   will be passed over to cont, and fw may be NULL if firmware request fails.

       cont
	   function will be called asynchronously when the firmware request is over.

DESCRIPTION

       Asynchronous variant of request_firmware for user contexts where it is not possible to sleep for long time. It can't be called in atomic
       contexts.

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
