replace fw_update (shell script) with a specialized version of pkg_add.
This has numerous advantages, in terms of speed and control. Initial version should be (mostly) identical to the old one. thanks to rpe@ and sthen@ for tests.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fw_update
+.Nd install non-free firmware packages
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl adnv
+.Op Fl p Ar path
+.Op Ar driver ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility installs, updates, or deletes firmware packages for
+.Ar driver
+from the Internet.
+If no
+.Ar driver
+is specified, the
+.Nm
+utility tries to determine which firmware are needed on the system.
+.Pp
+Since firmware with acceptable licenses are already present in
+.Ox ,
+.Nm
+exists purely to deal with firmware that may not be freely
+distributed with
+.Ox .
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl a
+Install or update firmware for all drivers.
+It is an error to specify this option with any
+.Ar driver
+arguments.
+.It Fl d
+Delete firmware for
+.Ar driver .
+If used without parameters, delete unneeded drivers.
+If used in conjunction with
+.Fl a ,
+delete firmware for all drivers.
+.It Fl n
+Dry run.
+Do not actually install or update any firmware packages;
+just report the steps that would be taken.
+.It Fl p Ar path
+Use the firmware found at
+.Ar path ,
+being either a local directory or a URL,
+instead of the default location.
+.It Fl v
+Turn on verbose output.
+This flag can be specified multiple times for increased verbosity.
+.El
+.Pp
+Firmware is downloaded from release-specific directories at
+.Lk http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/ .
+The files are in the format required by
+.Xr pkg_add 1 ,
+but direct use of pkg_add is discouraged.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
