device rtwn-rtl8192cfwE_B
device rtwn-rtl8192cfwE
device rtwn-rtl8192cfwT
device rtwn-rtl8192cfwU
device rtwn-rtl8192eufw
device rtwn-rtl8812aufw
device rtwn-rtl8821aufw
Alternatively, to load all firmware images as a module at boot time,
place the following line in loader.conf(5):
rtwn-rtl8188eefw_load="YES"
rtwn-rtl8188eufw_load="YES"
rtwn-rtl8192cfwE_B_load="YES"
