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.
