30 .Nd "Firmware Module for Realtek Wireless driver"
32 To compile this module into the kernel,
33 place the following line in your
34 kernel configuration file:
35 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
39 This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.
40 If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one
42 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
43 .Cd "device urtwn-rtl8192cfwT"
44 .Cd "device urtwn-rtl8192cfwU"
45 .Cd "device urtwn-rtl8188eufw"
48 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
49 module at boot time, place the following line in
51 .Bd -literal -offset indent
52 urtwn-rtl8192cfwT_load="YES"
53 urtwn-rtl8192cfwU_load="YES"
54 urtwn-rtl8188eufw_load="YES"
57 This module provides access to firmware sets for the
58 Realtek RTL8188CUS, RTL8188CE-VAU, RTL8188EUS, RTL8188RU and RTL8192CU
59 chip based USB WiFi adapters.
61 statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
63 For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at
64 .Pa /usr/share/doc/legal/realtek
65 must be agreed to by adding the following line to
68 .Dl "legal.realtek.license_ack=1"
70 .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /usr/share/doc/legal/realtek" -compact
71 .It Pa /usr/share/doc/legal/realtek
