fw_update
—
install non-free firmware packages
fw_update |
[-adnv ] [-p
path] [driver ...] |
The fw_update
utility installs, updates,
or deletes firmware packages for driver from the
Internet. If no driver is specified, the
fw_update
utility tries to determine which firmware
are needed on the system.
Since firmware with acceptable licenses are already present in
OpenBSD, fw_update
exists
purely to deal with firmware that may not be freely distributed with
OpenBSD.
The options are as follows:
-a
-d
-a
, delete firmware for all drivers.-n
-p
path-v
Firmware is downloaded from release-specific directories at http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/. The files are in the format required by pkg_add(1), but direct use of pkg_add is discouraged.
The fw_update
program was written by
