NAME
wlan_wep — WEP
crypto support for 802.11 devices
SYNOPSIS
device wlan_wep
DESCRIPTION
The wlan_wep module handles the WEP
cryptographic requirements of the 802.11 protocol. It does encapsulation and
decapsulation of WEP-encoded 802.11 frames and optionally calculates the WEP
cipher. The wlan_wep module is an 802.11
cryptographic plugin module for use by the
wlan(4)
module. This module is automatically loaded if a WEP key is configured with
ifconfig(8).
Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing the WEP
calculations in hardware, the wlan_wep module will
do the work.
