36 To compile this driver into the kernel,
37 place the following lines in your
38 kernel configuration file:
39 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
44 .Cd "device wlan_amrr"
47 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
48 module at boot time, place the following line in
50 .Bd -literal -offset indent
56 driver provides support for the
58 3945ABG Wireless network adapter
66 Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
67 For more information on configuring this device, see
70 This driver requires the firmware built with the
