+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bwn
+.Nd Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network 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 siba_bwn"
+.Cd "device bwn"
+.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_bwn_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for Broadcom BCM43xx based
+PCI/CardBus network adapters.
+.Pp
+It supports
+.Cm station
+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 firmware to be loaded before it will work.
+The
+.Pa ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod
+port needs to be installed before
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+will work.
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:
