Bring in the man page for zyd, ported from NetBSD, complete with bogus
Bill Paul copyright. Not sure what the right copyright is, but this file has been through 22 reversions on OpenBSD and 1 on NetBSD. This isn't (yet) connected to the build, just in case I've done something wrong (test builds worked, but better safe than sorry). Submitted by: Weongyo Jeong Approved by: re@

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm zyd
+.Nd ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following lines in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device ehci"
+.Cd "device uhci"
+.Cd "device ohci"
+.Cd "device usb"
+.Cd "device zyd"
+.Cd "device wlan"
+.Cd "device wlan_amrr"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+if_zyd_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.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
+.Nm
+supports software WEP.
+Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the de facto encryption standard
+for wireless networks.
+It can be typically configured in one of three modes:
+no encryption; 40-bit encryption; or 104-bit encryption.
+Unfortunately, due to serious weaknesses in WEP protocol
+it is strongly recommended that it not be used as the
+sole mechanism to secure wireless communication.
+WEP is not enabled by default.
