36 To compile this driver into the kernel,
37 include the following lines in your
38 kernel configuration file:
39 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
44 .\".Cd "device firmware"
47 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
48 module at boot time, place the following line in
50 .Bd -literal -offset indent
54 In both cases, place the following line in
56 to acknowledge the firmware license (see below):
57 .Bd -literal -offset indent
58 legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
63 driver provides support for
65 PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG MiniPCI and 2225BG PCI network adapters.
73 Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
74 For more information on configuring this device, see
