✨ ISPFW(4) ✨

ok so bestie, we're in the Kernel Interfaces Manual section and today's main character is ispfw — literally just Firmware for Qlogic based SPI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters 🦋

🎀 NAME 🎀

ispfw — Firmware for Qlogic based SPI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

device ispfw

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

ispfw_load="YES"

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this trivial driver provides access to firmware sets for the Qlogic based SPI 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the isp(4) driver will notice that firmware is available to be downloaded onto Qlogic cards (to replace the usually out of date firmware on the cards).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. 🔥 no cap, that's the whole job and it ate.
