33.Nm bhnd_chipc
34.Nd Broadcom Home Networking Division ChipCommon Driver
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel, add this line to the
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device bhnd"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42To compile driver support for all additional devices found in embedded systems,
43add the following additional lines to the kernel configuration file:
44.Bd -ragged -offset indent
45.Cd "device cfi"
46.Cd "device gpio"
47.Cd "device spibus"
48.Cd "device uart"
49.Ed
