comment = "Install firmware packages for the running system"

desc = <<EOD
Some hardware which is supported by the base operating system requires
additional third-party firmware, which cannot be distributed with the
operating system because the hardware manufacturer does not release it
under a permissive license.  This firmware is instead provided via the
FreeBSD Ports Collection.

The fwget(8) utility can be used to detect and install the necessary
firmware packages for hardware devices present on a running system.
