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

rtwn-rtl8192eufw_load="YES"
rtwn-rtl8812aufw_load="YES"
rtwn-rtl8821aufw_load="YES"

rtwn-rtl8192cfwE and rtl8192cfwE_B modules provide access to firmware sets for the Realtek RTL8188CE chip based PCIe adapters. Other modules provide access to firmware sets for the Realtek RTL8188CUS, RTL8188CE-VAU, RTL8188EUS, RTL8188RU, RTL8192CU, RTL8192EU, RTL8812AU and RTL8821AU chip based USB WiFi adapters.
