+.Sh NAME
+.Nm zyd
+.Nd ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "zyd* at uhub? port ?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for wireless network adapters based around
+the ZyDAS ZD1211 and ZD1211B USB chips.
+.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 monitor mode
+In this mode the driver is able to receive packets without
+associating with an access point.
+This disables the internal receive filter and enables the card to
+capture packets from networks which it wouldn't normally have access to,
+or to scan for access points.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured to use
+Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
+Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA1 and WPA2).
+WPA2 is currently the most secure encryption standard for wireless networks
+supported by
+.Ox .
+It is strongly recommended that neither WEP nor WPA1
+are used as the sole mechanism to secure wireless communication,
+due to serious weaknesses.
+WPA1 is disabled by default and may be enabled using the option
+.Qq Cm wpaprotos Ar wpa1,wpa2 .
+For standard WPA networks which use pre-shared keys (PSK),
+keys are configured using the
+.Qq Cm wpakey
+option.
+WPA-Enterprise networks require use of the wpa_supplicant package.
+The
+.Nm
+driver relies on the software 802.11 stack for both encryption and decryption
+of data frames.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver can be configured at runtime with
+.Xr ifconfig 8
+or on boot with
+.Xr hostname.if 5 .
+.Sh FILES
+The adapter needs some firmware files, which are loaded on demand by the
+driver when a device is attached:

+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Bl -diag
+.It "zyd0: error N, could not read firmware ..."
+For some reason, the driver was unable to read the firmware image from the
+filesystem.
+The file might be missing or corrupted.
+.It "zyd0: could not load firmware (error=N)"
+An error occurred while attempting to upload the firmware to the onboard
+microcontroller unit.
+.It "zyd0: could not send command (error=...)"
+An attempt to send a command to the firmware failed.
+.It "zyd0: sorry, radio ... is not supported yet"
+Support for the specified radio chip is not yet implemented in the driver.
+The device will not attach.
+.It "zyd0: device version mismatch: 0xXXXX (only >= 43.30 supported)"
+Early revisions of the ZD1211 chipset are not supported by this driver.
+The device will not attach.
+.It "zyd0: device timeout"
+A frame dispatched to the hardware for transmission did not complete in time.
+The driver will reset the hardware.
+This should not happen.

+.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 and power management
+features.
