+.Sh NAME
+.Nm acpi_asus_wmi
+.Nd Asus Laptop WMI Extras
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device acpi_asus_wmi"
+.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
+acpi_asus_wmi_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the extra WMI-controlled gadgets, such as hotkeys
+and leds, found on Asus laptops.
+It allows one to use the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+interface to manipulate the brightness of the LCD panel and keyboard backlight,
+power on/off different internal components, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, camera,
+cardreader, etc, read some sensors.
+Hotkey events are passed to
+.Xr devd 8
+for easy handling in userspace with the default configuration in
+.Pa /etc/devd/asus.conf .
+Some hotkey events, such as keyboard backlight and touchpad control, are
+handled inside the driver.
+.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
+The following sysctls are currently implemented:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Va dev.acpi_asus_wmi.0.handle_keys
+Specifies whether driver should handle some harwdare keys, such as keyboard
+backlight, internally.
+.El
+.Pp
+Number of other variables under the same sysctl branch are model-specific.
+.Pp
+Defaults for these variables can be set in
+.Xr sysctl.conf 5 ,
+which is parsed at boot-time.
