wlan_wep(4)

NAME

wlan_wep - WEP crypto support for 802.11 devices

SYNOPSIS

device wlan_wep

DESCRIPTION

The wlan_wep module handles the WEP cryptographic require
ments 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.
