In the case of an Intel 7260 device, the device needs to be put into something called "manufacturer mode" before the firmware is uploaded. The firmware is then upladed, and the card is taken out of this mode, at which point it disconnects and reconnects to the USB bus, and is at that point usable. However, iwmbtfw(8) puts the device into manufacturer mode before verifying that there exists a copy of the firmware to upload. As a result, in the case where there is no firmware available on disk, the device is put into manufacturer mode, the firmware can't be found so isn't uploaded, and the card is brought out of manufacturer mode, so it disconnects and reconnects to the USB bus. Enter devd(8). There are rules in /etc/devd/iwmbtfw.conf to call iwmbtfw(8) when the device appears. When there's no firmware on disk, devd will call iwmbtfw, iwmbtfw will try to do its thing and fail, the device will dis/reconnect, and devd will notice the device reappear and start the whole loop again. Fix is to verify that the firmware exists before putting the device into its special mode. The fix only changes things for the 7260 and not the other chips supported, I don't believe the issue exists with other chips as those do not need to be switched into manufacturer mode before uploading.

FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), FreeBSD handbook on building userland, and Handbook for kernels for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
For information on the CPU architectures and platforms supported by FreeBSD, see the FreeBSD website's Platforms page.
