2006-05-20 09:39:28 +00:00
|
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
|
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
|
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
2000-07-20 16:11:23 +00:00
|
|
|
.Cd "device ispfw"

|
|
|

|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
|
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
ispfw_load="YES"

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic
|
2004-07-03 18:29:24 +00:00
|
|
|
based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters.
|
|
|
|
|
It may either be
|
|
|
|
|
statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
|
|
|
|
|
In either
|
2000-07-20 16:11:23 +00:00
|
|
|
case, the
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr isp 4
|
|
|
|
|
driver will notice that firmware is available to be downloaded onto
|
|
|
|
|
Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards).
|
2001-08-10 15:03:10 +00:00
|
|
|
This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.
