SYNOPSIS
iwmbtfw [-DI] -d device_name [-f firmware_path]
iwmbtfw -h
DESCRIPTION
The iwmbtfw utility downloads the specified firmware file to the specified ugen(4) device.
This utility will only work with Intel Wireless 7260/8260/9260 and newer chip based Bluetooth USB devices, including AX and BE series wireless adapters. The identification is currently based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair and result of HCI queries. The vendor ID should be 0x8087 (USB_VENDOR_INTEL2) and the product ID should be one of the supported devices.
