28.Sh NAME
29.Nm ispfw
30.Nd "Firmware Module for Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32To compile this driver into the kernel,
33place the following line in your
34kernel configuration file:
35.Bd -ragged -offset indent
36.Cd "device ispfw"
37.Ed
38.Pp
39Alternatively, to load the driver as a
40module at boot time, place the following line in
41.Xr loader.conf 5 :
42.Bd -literal -offset indent
43ispfw_load="YES"
44.Ed
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic
47based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters.
48It may either be
49statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
50In either
51case, the
52.Xr isp 4
53driver will notice that firmware is available to be downloaded onto
54Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards).
55This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.
