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 BSS  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-CCMP.
