.Sh SYNOPSIS
|

.Ft void

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions provide software encryption support
|
|
for 802.11 device drivers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\"
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ieee80211_crypto_attach
|
|
function initializes crypto support for the interface
|
|
.Fa ifp ,
|
|
and sets the initialization vector (IV) for WEP encryption to
|
|
a random number derived from a secure PRNG.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\"
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ieee80211_crypto_detach
|
|
function frees data structures associated with crypto support
|
|
for the interface
|
|
.Fa ifp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\"
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ieee80211_wep_crypt
|
|
function runs the appropriate WEP encryption algorithm over the 802.11
|
|
encapsulated frame held in the mbuf chain
|
|
.Fa m0 ,
|
|
for transmission or reception on the interface
|
|
.Fa ifp .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa txflag
|
|
argument specifies whether the frame is being received or transmitted.
|
|
A value of 0 indicates that the frame is being received and should
|
|
therefore be decrypted; a non-zero value indicates that the frame
|
|
is being transmitted
|
|
and should be encrypted.
|
|
.\"
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ieee80211_wep_crypt
|
|
function stores its IV in the interface's embedded
|
|
.Vt struct ieee80211com
|
|
instance.
