WLAN_XAUTH(4)         DragonFly Kernel Interfaces Manual         WLAN_XAUTH(4)

NAME
     wlan_xauth -- External authenticator support for 802.11 devices

SYNOPSIS
     device wlan_xauth

DESCRIPTION
     The wlan_xauth module is a wlan(4) authenticator plugin for use with
     user-mode authentication implementations such as hostapd.  It hooks into
     the 802.11 layer and does nothing.  As a result, 802.11 stations that
     associate are not authorized to send or receive frames until they are
     authorized by an external agent; typically using a protocol such as WPA,
     802.1x, or 802.11i.

SEE ALSO
     wlan(4)

STANDARDS
     More information can be found in the IEEE 802.11, WPA, and 802.11i
     Standards.

HISTORY
     The wlan_xauth driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
