.Dd March 7, 2013 .Dt ZYD 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm zyd .Nd ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device .Sh SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: d -ragged -offset indent .Cd "device ehci" .Cd "device uhci" .Cd "device ohci" .Cd "device usb" .Cd "device zyd" .Cd "device wlan" .Cd "device wlan_amrr" .Ed
p Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in .Xr loader.conf 5 : d -literal -offset indent if_zyd_load="YES" .Ed .Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm driver provides support for wireless network adapters based around the ZyDAS ZD1211 and ZD1211B USB chips.
p .Nm supports .Cm station and .Cm monitor mode operation. Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time. For more information on configuring this device, see .Xr ifconfig 8 . .Sh HARDWARE The following devices are known to be supported by the .Nm driver:

p Join an existing BSS network, .Dq my_net : d -literal -offset indent ifconfig wlan create wlandev zyd0 192.168.0.2 \e netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net .Ed .Sh DIAGNOSTICS l -diag t "zyd%d: could not load firmware (error=%d)" An error occurred while attempting to upload the firmware to the onboard microcontroller unit. t "zyd%d: could not send command (error=%s)" An attempt to send a command to the firmware failed. t "zyd%d: sorry, radio %s is not supported yet" Support for the specified radio chip is not yet implemented in the driver. The device will not attach. t "zyd%d: device version mismatch: 0x%x (only >= 43.30 supported)" Early revisions of the ZD1211 chipset are not supported by this driver. The device will not attach. t "zyd%d: device timeout" A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmission did not complete in time. The driver will reset the hardware. This should not happen. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr intro 4 , .Xr netintro 4 , .Xr usb 4 , .Xr wlan 4 , .Xr wlan_amrr 4 , .Xr wlan_ccmp 4 , .Xr wlan_tkip 4 , .Xr wlan_wep 4 , .Xr ifconfig 8 , .Xr wpa_supplicant 8 .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The original .Nm driver was written by .An Florian Stoehr Aq Mt ich@florian-stoehr.de , .An Damien Bergamini Aq Mt damien@openbsd.org , and .An Jonathan Gray Aq Mt jsg@openbsd.org . .Sh CAVEATS The .Nm driver does not support a lot of the functionality available in the hardware. More work is required to properly support the IBSS and power management features.
