WLAN_TKIP(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual WLAN_TKIP(4) NAME wlan_tkip -- TKIP and Michael crypto support for 802.11 devices SYNOPSIS device wlan_tkip DESCRIPTION The wlan_tkip module handles the TKIP and Michael cryptographic require- ments of the WPA and 802.11i protocols. It does encapsulation and decapsu- lation of TKIP-encoded 802.11 frames and optionally calculates the TKIP ci- pher and Michael MIC. The wlan_tkip module is an 802.11 cryptographic plu- gin module for use by the wlan(4) module. This module is automatically loaded if a TKIP key is configured; typically by a WPA supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant, or a WPA authenticator program such as hostapd. Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing the TKIP and/or Michael calculations in hardware, the wlan_tkip module will do the work.

HISTORY The wlan_tkip driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0. FreeBSD ports 15.1 December 7, 2004 WLAN_TKIP(4)
