40 .Nd ZyDAS ZD1211/ZD1211B USB IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network device
42 To compile this driver into the kernel,
43 place the following lines in your
44 kernel configuration file:
45 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
52 .Cd "device wlan_amrr"
55 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
56 module at boot time, place the following line in
58 .Bd -literal -offset indent
64 driver provides support for wireless network adapters based around
65 the ZyDAS ZD1211 and ZD1211B USB chips.
73 Only one virtual interface may be configured at any time.
74 For more information on configuring this device, see
