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.

HISTORY
 The wlan_wep driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
