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 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.

STANDARDS

HISTORY
     The wlan_wep driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
