NAME

       chip based Bluetooth USB	devices

SYNOPSIS
       iwmbtfw -d device_name -f firmware_path
       iwmbtfw -h

DESCRIPTION
       The iwmbtfw utility downloads the specified firmware file to the	speci-
       fied ugen(4) device.

       This utility will only work with	 Intel	Wireless  7260/8260/8265  chip
       based  Bluetooth	USB devices and	some of	their successors.  The identi-
       fication	is currently based on USB vendor ID/product ID pair.  The ven-
       dor ID should be	0x8087 (USB_VENDOR_INTEL2) and the product  ID	should
       be one of the supported devices.

       Firmware	files are available in the comms/iwmbt-firmware	port.

       The  iwmbtfw  utility will query	the device to determine	which firmware
       image and board configuration to	load in	at runtime.

       The options are as follows:

       -D      Enable verbose debugging.

       -d device_name
	       Specify ugen(4) device name.

       -I      Enable informational debugging.

       -f firmware_path
	       Specify the directory containing	the firmware files  to	search
	       and upload.

       -h      Display usage message and exit.
