  31. .Sh SYNOPSIS
    32. 

  32. To compile this module into the kernel,
    33. 

  33. place the following line in your
    34. 

  34. kernel configuration file:
    35. 

  35. .Bd -ragged -offset indent
    36. 

  36. .Cd "device iwnfw"
    37. 

  37. .Ed
    38. 

  38. .Pp
    39. 

  39. This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.
    40. 

  40. If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one
    41. 

  41. of the following:
    42. 

  42. .Bd -ragged -offset indent
    43. 

  43. .Cd "device iwn4965fw"

    54. 

  54. module at boot time, place the following line in
    55. 

  55. .Xr loader.conf 5 :
