NAME

6       zyd - ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB 802.11b/g Wireless Driver
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  zyd  802.11b/g  wireless  driver  is   a multi-threaded, loadable,
10       clonable,    GLDv3-based    STREAMS   driver   supporting   the   ZyDAS
11       ZD1211/ZD1211B USB chipset-based wireless devices.
12

CONFIGURATION

14       The  zyd  driver  performs auto-negotiation to determine the data  rate
15       and mode. Supported 802.11b data rates are 1, 2, 5.5 and 11  Mbits/sec.
16       Supported  802.11g  data rates are 1, 2, 5.5, 11, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36,
17       48 and 54 Mbits/sec. The zyd driver supports only BSS   networks  (also
18       known   as  "ap" or "infrastructure"  networks) and open (or "open-sys‐
19       tem"), shared key and  WPA/WPA2  authentication.  Supported  encryption
20       types are WEP40, WEP104, TKIP and AES-CCMP.
