Firmware module for realtek wireless driver

Usage

To compile this module into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

device rtwnfw

This will include all firmware images inside the kernel. If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one of the following:

device rtwn-rtl8188eefw device rtwn-rtl8188eufw device rtwn-rtl8192cfwE_B device rtwn-rtl8192cfwE device rtwn-rtl8192cfwT device rtwn-rtl8192cfwU device rtwn-rtl8192eufw device rtwn-rtl8812aufw device rtwn-rtl8821aufw

Alternatively, to load all firmware images as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

rtwn-rtl8188eefw_load="YES"
rtwn-rtl8188eufw_load="YES"
rtwn-rtl8192cfwE_B_load="YES"
rtwn-rtl8192cfwE_load="YES"
