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: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact +.It Tn Zyxel ZyAIR G-220 +.It Tn DrayTek Vigor 550 +.It Tn Sagem XG 760A +.It Tn AOpen 802.11g WL54 +.It Tn Fiberline Networks WL-43OU +.It Tn Airlink+ AWLL3025 +.It Tn X-Micro XWL-11GUZX +.It Tn Edimax EW-7317UG +.It Tn Planet WL-U356 +.It Tn Acer WLAN-G-US1 +.It Tn Trendnet TEW-424UB +.It Tn Asus WL-159g +.It Tn Tekram/Siemens USB adapter +.It Tn Sitecom WL-113 +.It Tn Yakumo QuickWLAN USB +.It Tn TwinMOS G240 +.It Tn Telegent TG54USB +.It Tn iNexQ UR055g +.It Tn Planex GW-US54Mini +.It Tn Trendnet TEW-429UB +.It Tn Planex GW-US54GZL +.It Tn Sweex wireless USB 54 Mbps +.It Tn 3COM 3CRUSB10075 +.El +.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 : +.Bd -literal -offset indent +# ifconfig zyd0 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 nwid my_net +.Ed +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr ifmedia 4 , +.Xr intro 4 , +.Xr netintro 4 , +.Xr usb 4 , +.Xr hostname.if 5 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.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. |
