344f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Sh SYNOPSIS
354f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Cd "device wlan_wep"
364f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Sh DESCRIPTION
374f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThe
384f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
394f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule handles the WEP cryptographic requirements of the 802.11 protocol.
404f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauIt does encapsulation and decapsulation of WEP-encoded 802.11 frames
414f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehauand optionally calculates the WEP cipher.
424f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThe
434f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
444f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by the
454f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Xr wlan 4
464f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule.
474f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauThis module is automatically loaded if a WEP key is configured with
484f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Xr ifconfig 8 .
494f6e3ad1SSepherosa ZiehauShould the underlying network device not be capable of doing the WEP
504f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaucalculations in hardware, the
514f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehau.Nm
524f6e3ad1SSepherosa Ziehaumodule will do the work.
