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 in- terface may be configured at any time. For more information on config- uring 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 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 attach. 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. 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.
