ZYD(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ZYD(4) NAME zyd -- ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device 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 Trendnet TEW-429UB TwinMOS G240 Unicorn WL-54G US Robotics 5423 X-Micro XWL-11GUZX Yakumo QuickWLAN USB Zonet ZEW2501 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 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 Join an existing BSS network, "my_net": ifconfig wlan create wlandev zyd0 192.168.0.2 \ netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net DIAGNOSTICS zyd%d: could not load firmware (error=%d) An error occurred while at- tempting 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 radio chip is not yet implemented in the driver. The device will not at- tach. zyd%d: device version mismatch: 0x%x (only >= 43.30 supported) Early re- visions of the ZD1211 chipset are not supported by this driver. The de- vice will not attach. zyd%d: device timeout A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmis- sion 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.
