NAME
wlan_xauth —
External authenticator support for 802.11 devices
SYNOPSIS
device wlan_xauth
DESCRIPTION
Thewlan_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.
This module is automatically loaded by the rc script that normally starts hostapd(8).
