wlan_wep —
WEP
crypto support for 802.11 devices
device wlan_wep
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.

The
wlan_wep driver first appeared in
FreeBSD 6.0.
