+.Sh NAME
+.Nm zyd
+.Nd Zydas ZD1211 USB IEEE 802.11b wireless network driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "# all architectures"
+.Cd "zyd* at uhub? port ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for wireless network adapters based around
+the Zydas ZD1211 USB chip.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver encapsulates all IP and ARP traffic as 802.11 frames,
+though it can receive either 802.11 or 802.3 frames.
+.Pp
+These are the modes the
+.Nm
+driver can operate in:
+.Bl -tag -width "IBSS-masterXX"
+.It BSS mode
+Also known as
+.Em infrastructure
+mode, this is used when associating with an access point, through
+which all traffic passes.
+This mode is the default.
+.It IBSS mode
+Also known as
+.Em IEEE ad-hoc
+mode or
+.Em peer-to-peer
+mode.
+This is the standardized method of operating without an access point.
+Stations associate with a service set.
+However, actual connections between stations are peer-to-peer.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm
+supports hardware WEP.
+Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard
+for wireless networks.
+It can be typically configured in one of three modes:
+no encryption; 40-bit encryption; or 104-bit encryption.
+Unfortunately, due to serious weaknesses in WEP protocol
+it is strongly recommended that it not be used as the
+sole mechanism to secure wireless communication.
+WEP is not enabled by default.
+.Sh CONFIGURATION
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured at runtime with
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or on boot with
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+using the following parameters:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Cm bssid Ar bssid
+Set the desired BSSID.
+.It Fl bssid
+Unset the desired BSSID.
+The interface will automatically select a BSSID in this mode, which is
+the default.
+.It Cm chan Ar n
+Set the channel (radio frequency) to be used by the driver based on
+the given channel ID
+.Ar n .
+.It Fl chan
+Unset the desired channel to be used by the driver.
+The driver will automatically select a channel in this mode, which is
+the default.
+.It Cm media Ar media
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following
+.Ar media
+types:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width autoselect -compact
+.It Cm autoselect
+Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
+.It Cm DS1
+Set 802.11b DS 1Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS2
+Set 802.11b DS 2Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS5
+Set 802.11b DS 5.5Mbps operation.
+.It Cm DS11
+Set 802.11b DS 11Mbps operation.
+.El
+.It Cm mediaopt Ar opts
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports the following media options:
+.Bl -tag -width ibss
+.It Cm ibss
+Select Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) operation.
+.El
+.It Fl mediaopt Ar opts
+Disable the specified media options on the driver and return it to the
+default mode of operation (BSS).
+.It Cm nwid Ar id
+Set the network ID.
+The
+.Ar id
+can either be any text string up to 32 characters in length,
+or a series of hexadecimal digits up to 64 digits.
+An empty
+.Ar id
+string allows the interface to connect to any available access points.
+By default the
+.Nm
+driver uses an empty string.
+Note that network ID is synonymous with Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).
+.It Cm nwkey Ar key
+Enable WEP encryption using the specified
+.Ar key .
+The
+.Ar key
+can either be a string, a series of hexadecimal digits (preceded by
+.Sq 0x ) ,
+or a set of keys of the form
+.Dq n:k1,k2,k3,k4 ,
+where
+.Sq n
+specifies which of the keys will be used for transmitted packets,
+and the four keys,
+.Dq k1
+through
+.Dq k4 ,
+are configured as WEP keys.
+If a set of keys is specified, a comma
+.Pq Sq \&,
+within the key must be escaped with a backslash.
+Note that if multiple keys are used, their order must be the same within
+the network.
+.Nm
+is capable of using both 40-bit (5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits)
+or 104-bit (13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits) keys.
+.It Fl nwkey
+Disable WEP encryption.
+This is the default mode of operation.
+.El
+.Sh HARDWARE
+The following devices are known to be supported by the
+.Nm
+driver:

+.Sh FILES
+The adapter needs some firmware files, which are loaded on demand by the
+driver when the device is attached:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
+.It Pa /etc/firmware/zd1211
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following
+.Xr hostname.if 5
+example configures zyd0 to join whatever network is available on boot,
+using WEP key
+.Dq 0x1deadbeef1 ,
+channel 11, obtaining an IP address using DHCP:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+dhcp NONE NONE NONE nwkey 0x1deadbeef1 chan 11
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Configure zyd0 for WEP, using hex key
+.Dq 0x1deadbeef1 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig zyd0 nwkey 0x1deadbeef1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Return zyd0 to its default settings:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+# ifconfig zyd0 -bssid -chan media autoselect \e
+ nwid "" -nwkey
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Join an existing BSS network,
+.Dq my_net :

+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Florian Stoehr .
+.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, power management,
+and selectable transmission rate features.
