This project was created by Intel to enable support for the Intel
PRO/Wireless 2200 Network Connection mini PCI adapter. This project
(IPW2200) is intended to be a community effort as much as is possible
given some working constraints (mainly, no HW documentation is available).

  Affects: users of net/{ipw,iwi}-firmware

  Author: flz@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    Some changes in the way ipw(4) and iwi(4) work lead to fundamental
    changes in ipw-firmware and iwi-firmware ports. Since these drivers
    are now using loadable kernel modules as firmware, two new ports have
    been created: net/ipw-firmware-kmod and net/iwi-firmware-kmod.
  
    You should not be able to install the wrong one since detection is
    based on your FreeBSD version. Trying to install the wrong port will
    result in an error message (port marked as IGNORE).
  
  

Refine OSVERSION logic to inform the user about the kmod counterparts.

Populate the 'kld' virtual category, for ports that install Kernel Loadable
modules.

- Don't force the interface up, this may turns the radio on needlessly.

PR:             ports/93681
Submitted by:   Adrian Filipi <adrian@ubergeeks.com>

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears.
We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this
is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at
this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid
perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.

- Fix firmware directory in pkg-message.

Reported by:    Lars Engels <lars.engels@0x20.net>

- Finally fix the mtree problem both in HEAD and in stable branches.

Reported by:    kris

- Don't remove /boot/firmware since it's now in mtree [1].
- Fix path for ${DRIVERNAME}control [2].

PR:             ports/90535 [2]
Reported by:    pointyhat via kris [1], sinese <sinese@olympe.hn.org>

- Fix left-over directories.

Noticed by:     pointyhat via kris

- Install firmware files in /boot/firmware [1].
- Rename LICENSE to LICENSE.${DRIVERNAME}.
- Don't install ${DRIVERNAME}control(8) on fresh -CURRENT (> 700006).
- Use USE_RCORDER and change REQUIRE/BEFORE lines in startup scripts
accordingly.
- Move everything to /usr prefix so that people can mount /usr/local via NFS.
- Add a message saying that kernel module is based on a very old snapshot.
- Reword IGNORE lines.

PR:             ports/90022 [1]
Requested by:   sem, Thomas Hurst <tom@hur.st> [1]

- Update to latest firmware (2.4).

Tested by:      anders

- Add SHA256 checksums.

- Fixing WWW and COMMENT issues in iwi-firmware slave port.

Reported by:    Lars Engels <lars.engels@0x20.net>

- Since (ipw|iwi)control are started late in the boot process, we need to
mark interfaces as up manually.

Noticed by:     sem

- Fix firmware file names.

- Add iwi-firmware, Intel Pro/Wireless Lan 2200 firmware to be used
in conjunction with iwi(4). iwi(4) had already been included in HEAD, but
according to Damien Bergamini, there are no plans to MFC it to RELENG_5.
There is an option (WITH_)MODULE to build and install an iwi(4) module
from a snapshot if you're running RELENG_5.

Note: As of the date of this commit, it seems there are issues with the
iwi(4) snapshot and you might experience some problems.
