The
zyd driver can be configured at runtime with
ifconfig(8) or on boot with
ifconfig.if(5) using the following parameters:
bssid bssid
Set the desired BSSID.
-bssid
Unset the desired BSSID. The interface will automatically select a BSSID in this mode, which is the default.
chan n
Set the channel (radio frequency) to be used by the driver based on the given channel ID n.
-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.
media media
The
zyd driver supports the following
media types:
autoselect
Enable autoselection of the media type and options.
DS1
Set 802.11b DS 1Mbps operation.
DS2
Set 802.11b DS 2Mbps operation.
DS5
Set 802.11b DS 5.5Mbps operation.
DS11
Set 802.11b DS 11Mbps operation.
mediaopt opts
The
zyd driver supports the following media options:
ibss
Select Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) operation.
-mediaopt opts
Disable the specified media options on the driver and return it to the default mode of operation (BSS).
nwid id
Set the network ID. The 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 id string allows the interface to connect to any available access points. By default the zyd driver uses an empty string. Note that network ID is synonymous with Extended Service Set ID (ESSID).
-nwid
Set the network ID to the empty string to allow the interface to connect to any available access point.
nwkey key
Enable WEP encryption using the specified key. The key can either be a string, a series of hexadecimal digits (preceded by ‘0x'), or a set of keys of the form “n:k1,k2,k3,k4”, where ‘n' specifies which of the keys will be used for transmitted packets, and the four keys, “k1” through “k4”, are configured as WEP keys. If a set of keys is specified, a comma (‘,') 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. zyd is capable of using both 40-bit (5 characters or 10 hexadecimal digits) or 104-bit (13 characters or 26 hexadecimal digits) keys.
-nwkey
Disable WEP encryption. This is the default mode of operation.
