       iwn  supports  station  and  monitor mode operation.  Only one virtual interface may be configured at any
       time.  For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

       This driver requires the firmware built with the iwnfw module to work.

iwn%d:devicetimeout  The driver will reset the hardware.  This should not happen.

       iwn%d:firmwareerror  The onboard microcontroller crashed for some reason.  The driver  will  reset  the
       hardware.  This should not happen.

       iwn%d:timeoutwaitingforfirmwareinitializationtocomplete  The onboard microcontroller failed to
       initialize in time.  This should not happen.

       iwn%d:couldnotloadfirmwareimage'%s'  The driver  failed  to  load  the  firmware  image  using  the
       firmware(9) subsystem.  Verify the iwnfw(4) firmware module is present.

       iwn%d:couldnotloadbootfirmware    An  attempt  to upload the boot firmware image to the onboard
       microcontroller failed.  This should not happen.

       iwn%d:couldnotloadmicrocode  An attempt to upload the microcode image to the onboard  microcontroller
       failed.  This should not happen.

       iwn%d:couldnotloadmainfirmware    An  attempt  to upload the main firmware image to the onboard
       microcontroller failed.  This should not happen.

       Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):

             ifconfig wlan create wlandev iwn0 inet 192.168.0.20 \
                 netmask 0xffffff00

       Join a specific BSS network with network name “my_net”:

             ifconfigwlancreatewlandeviwn0ssidmy_netup

       Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:

             ifconfig wlan create wlandev iwn0 ssid my_net \
                     wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up

       Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:

             ifconfig wlan create wlandev iwn0 wlanmode adhoc ssid my_net \
                 wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 weptxkey 1

       To compile this driver into the kernel, include the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             deviceiwndevicepcidevicewlandevicefirmware

       You also need to select a firmware for your device.  Choose one from:

             deviceiwn1000fwdeviceiwn100fwdeviceiwn105fwdeviceiwn135fwdeviceiwn2000fwdeviceiwn2030fwdeviceiwn4965fwdeviceiwn5000fwdeviceiwn5150fwdeviceiwn6000fwdeviceiwn6000g2afwdeviceiwn6000g2bfwdeviceiwn6050fw

       Or you can use

             deviceiwnfw

       to include them all.

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following lines in loader.conf(5):

             if_iwn_load="YES"
             iwn1000fw_load="YES"
             iwn100fw_load="YES"
             iwn105fw_load="YES"
             iwn135fw_load="YES"
             iwn2000fw_load="YES"
             iwn2030fw_load="YES"
             iwn4965fw_load="YES"
             iwn5000fw_load="YES"
