+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wpi
+.Nd "Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 driver"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device wpi"
+.Cd "device wpifw"
+.Cd "device pci"
+.Cd "device wlan"
+.Cd "device wlan_amrr"
+.Cd "device firmware"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+if_wpi_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the
+.Tn Intel
+3945ABG Wireless network adapter
+.Nm
+supports
+.Cm station ,
+.Cm adhoc ,
+and
+.Cm monitor
+mode operation.
+Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
+For more information on configuring this device, see
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+.Pp
+This driver requires the firmware built with the
+.Nm wpifw
+module to work.

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "wpi%d: could not load firmware image '%s'"
+The driver failed to load the firmware image using the
+.Xr firmware 9
+subsystem.
+Verify the
+.Xr wpifw
+firmware module is installed.
+.It "wpi%d: fatal firmware error"
+An unknown error has occurred in the uploaded firmware, you may have to
