# ispfw(4)

Firmware Module for Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters

## NAME

**ispfw** – Firmware Module for Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters

## SYNOPSIS

**device ispfw**

## DESCRIPTION

This trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters. It may either be statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module. In either case, the [isp(4)](/isp/4.md) driver will notice that firmware is available to be downloaded onto Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards). This will kick the f/w into getting unstuck.

## SEE ALSO
