.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm wlan_wep
|
|
.Nd WEP crypto support for 802.11 devices
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device wlan_wep"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module handles the WEP cryptographic requirements of the 802.11 protocol.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
does encapsulation and decapsulation of WEP-encoded 802.11 frames
|
|
and optionally calculates the WEP cipher.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by the
|
|
.Xr wlan 4
|
|
module.
|
|
This module is automatically loaded if a WEP key is configured with
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 .
|
|
Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing the WEP
|
|
calculations in hardware, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module will do the work.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr wlan 4 ,
|
|
.Xr wlan_tkip 4 ,
|
|
.Xr wlan_ccmp 4
|
|
.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
More information can be found in the IEEE 802.11 Standard.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 6.0 .
