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.
