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.
This module is automatically loaded by the rc script that normally starts
hostapd(8).
