| 34 | Is this kld_list needed? devmatch should auto-load it -- unless there are no PNP entries in the driver -- then that should be fixed in iwx(4) | |
| 133 | We normally don't list the firmware files anymore. | |
| 139 | Please fix this paragraph. It really should just point people at fwget(8) which will install the wifi-firmware-iwlwifi flavored packages automatically. The above is OpenBSD language; FreeBSD does/did (beofre fgwet) ship the firmware in base. | |

+ remove unrelated sorting fix, I just wanted to fix it without churn.
+ increase document description consistency
+ explain how the driver loads automatically immediately
+ explain how the firmware is obtained in files
+ remove crypto offload mentions, the import review said that's TODO
+ mention Haiku in history
+ improve see also
+ improve background mode structure
is this kld_list needed?
Not normally, but normally nothing is needed. I attempted to explain
that better in the description, while preserving traditional synopsis
showing that how you can load it manually. If compiling a non-generic
kernel, the synopsis shows how you can compile it in, or load it with
rc.conf manually, maybe because they aren't using devmatch.
Thank you so much for helping!

Thanks emaste! I don't actually know, but I thought that's the syntax for "include this manual only if this driver is compiled".

@ziaee ok, look at the existing examples then, further down in this file - e.g.:
.if ${MACHINE_CPUARCH} == "amd64" || ${MACHINE_CPUARCH} == "i386"
_acpi_asus.4= acpi_asus.4Comment Actions
Attempt to fix iwx.4 Makefile based on this appears to be only for amd64 in sys/modules/Makefile
