# urtwnfw(4freebsd)

Firmware Module for Realtek Wireless driver

## NAME

**urtwnfw** – Firmware Module for Realtek Wireless driver

## SYNOPSIS

To compile this module into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

**device urtwnfw**

This will include three firmware images inside the kernel. If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one of the following:

**device urtwn-rtl8192cfwT** **device urtwn-rtl8192cfwU** **device urtwn-rtl8188eufw**

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in [loader.conf(5)](/loader.conf/5.md):

```
urtwn-rtl8192cfwT_load="YES"
urtwn-rtl8192cfwU_load="YES"
urtwn-rtl8188eufw_load="YES"
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module provides access to firmware sets for the Realtek RTL8188CUS, RTL8188CE-VAU, RTL8188EUS, RTL8188RU and RTL8192CU chip based USB WiFi adapters. It may be statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.

For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at */usr/share/doc/legal/realtek.LICENSE* must be agreed to by adding the following line to [loader.conf(5)](/loader.conf/5.md):

```
legal.realtek.license_ack=1
```
