 .Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-driver supports USB 2.0 wireless network devices based on the Atheros
-AR9170 chipset.
-.Pp
-The Atheros AR9170 is a draft-802.11n adapter that uses an external
-radio to operate in either 2.4GHz only or 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
-.Pp
-The AR9101 radio supports 1T1R operation in 2GHz only.
-.Pp
-The AR9102 radio supports 2T2R operation in 2GHz only.
-.Pp
-The AR9104 radio supports 2T2R operation both 2GHz and 5GHz.
-.Pp
-These are the modes the
-.Nm
-driver can operate in:
-.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX"
-.It BSS mode
-Also known as
-.Em infrastructure
-mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through
-which all traffic passes.
-This mode is the default.
-.El
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-driver can be configured to use
-Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
-Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK).
-WPA is the de facto encryption standard for wireless networks.
-It is strongly recommended that WEP
-not be used as the sole mechanism
-to secure wireless communication,
-due to serious weaknesses in it.
-.Pp
-The
-.Nm
-driver can be configured at runtime with
-.Xr ifconfig 8 .
-.Sh FILES
-The driver needs at least version 1.0 of the following firmware files,
-which is loaded when an interface is attached:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
-.It Pa /boot/kernel/otusfw-init.ko
-.It Pa /boot/kernel/otusfw-main.ko
-.El
-.Sh HARDWARE
-The
-.Nm
-driver provices support for Atheros AR9170 USB IEEE 802.11b/g/n
-wireless network adapters, including:

-.Sh EXAMPLES
-Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-ifconfig wlan create wlandev otus0 inet 192.168.0.20 \e
-    netmask 0xffffff00
-.Ed
-.Pp
-Join a specific BSS network with network name
-.Dq Li my_net :
-.Pp
-.Dl "ifconfig wlan create wlandev otus0 ssid my_net up"
-.Pp
-Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
-.Bd -literal -offset indent
-ifconfig wlan create wlandev otus0 ssid my_net \e
-        wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
-.Ed
-.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
-.Bl -diag
-.It "%s: failed load firmware of file otusfw-main"
-For some reason, the driver was unable to read the microcode file from the
-filesystem.
-The file might be missing or corrupted.
-.El
+This module provides the firmware for the Atheros AR9170 based
+USB WiFi adapters.
