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-en-
       coded  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 mod-
       ule will	do the work.

SEE ALSO
       wlan(4),	wlan_ccmp(4), wlan_tkip(4)

STANDARDS
       More information	can be found in	the IEEE 802.11	Standard.

HISTORY
       The wlan_wep driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.

FreeBSD	14.3		       December	7, 2004			   WLAN_WEP(4)
