NAME
wlan_xauth
- External authenticator support for 802.11 devices
SYNOPSIS
device wlan_xauth
DESCRIPTION
The
module implements an authenticator plugin that is intended
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.
The
module is an 802.11 authenticator plugin module for use by the
wlan(4)
module.
This module is automatically loaded if an application configures
an 802.11 device for operation as an AP with WPA or 802.1x authentication.
