32 .Nd kernel driver for the iSCSI protocol
34 To compile this driver into the kernel,
35 place the following lines in your
36 kernel configuration file:
37 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
38 .Cd "device iscsi_initiator"
41 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42 module at boot time, place the following line in
44 .Bd -literal -offset indent
45 iscsi_initiator_load="YES"
49 This driver, along with its userspace counterpart
52 Users are advised to use
