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

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

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