ZYD(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual ZYD(4) NAME zyd -- ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driver SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device ehci device uhci device ohci device usb device zyd device wlan device wlan_amrr Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_zyd_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The zyd driver provides support for wireless network adapters based around the ZyDAS ZD1211 and ZD1211B USB chips. zyd supports station and monitor mode operation. Only one virtual inter- face may be configured at any time. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8). HARDWARE The following devices are known to be supported by the zyd driver: * 3COM 3CRUSB10075 * Acer WLAN-G-US1 * Airlink+ AWLL3025 * Airlink 101 AWLL3026 * AOpen 802.11g WL54 * Asus A9T integrated wireless * Asus WL-159g * Belkin F5D7050 v.4000 * Billion BiPAC 3011G * Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54L * CC&C WL-2203B * DrayTek Vigor 550 * Edimax EW-7317UG * Edimax EW-7317LDG * Fiberline Networks WL-43OU * iNexQ UR055g * Linksys WUSBF54G * Longshine LCS-8131G3 * MSI US54SE * MyTek MWU-201 USB adapter * Philips SNU5600 * Planet WL-U356 * Planex GW-US54GZ * Planex GW-US54GZL * Planex GW-US54Mini * Safecom SWMULZ-5400 * Sagem XG 760A * Sagem XG 76NA * Sandberg Wireless G54 USB * Sitecom WL-113 * SMC SMCWUSB-G * Sweex wireless USB 54 Mbps * Tekram/Siemens USB adapter * Telegent TG54USB * Trendnet TEW-424UB rev A * Trendnet TEW-429UB * TwinMOS G240 * Unicorn WL-54G * US Robotics 5423 * X-Micro XWL-11GUZX * Yakumo QuickWLAN USB * Zonet ZEW2501 * ZyXEL ZyAIR G-202 * ZyXEL ZyAIR G-220 EXAMPLES The following example configures zyd0 to join any BSS network using WEP key "0x1deadbeef1", channel 11: ifconfig wlan create wlandev zyd0 channel 11 \ wepmode on wepkey 0x1deadbeef1 weptxkey 1 \ inet 192.0.2.20/24 Join an existing BSS network, my_net: ifconfig wlan create wlandev zyd0 192.0.2.20/24 \ ssid my_net DIAGNOSTICS zyd%d: could not load firmware (error=%d) An error occurred while attempt- ing to upload the firmware to the onboard microcontroller unit. zyd%d: could not send command (error=%s) An attempt to send a command to the firmware failed. zyd%d: sorry, radio %s is not supported yet Support for the specified ra- dio chip is not yet implemented in the driver. The device will not attach. zyd%d: device version mismatch: 0x%x (only >= 43.30 supported) Early revi- sions of the ZD1211 chipset are not supported by this driver. The device will not attach. 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.

CAVEATS The zyd 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.
