WLAN_WEP(4)		     Kernel Interfaces Manual		     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 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 mod-
     ule 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  ifcon-
     fig(8).   Should  the underlying network device not be capable of doing the
     WEP calculations in hardware, the wlan_wep module will do the work.

SEE ALSO
     wlan(4), wlan_ccmp(4), wlan_gcmp(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 15.1			December 7, 2004		     WLAN_WEP(4)
