+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wlan_wep
+.Nd WEP crypto support for 802.11 devices
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device wlan_wep"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+module handles the WEP cryptographic requirements of the 802.11 protocol.
+.Nm
+does encapsulation and decapsulation of WEP-encoded 802.11 frames
+and optionally calculates the WEP cipher.
+.Nm
+is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by the
+.Xr wlan 4
+module.
+This module is automatically loaded if a WEP key is configured with
+.Xr ifconfig 8 .
+Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing the WEP
+calculations in hardware, the
+.Nm
+module will do the work.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr wlan 4 ,
+.Xr wlan_tkip 4 ,
+.Xr wlan_ccmp 4
+.Sh STANDARDS
+More information can be found in the IEEE 802.11 Standard.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 6.0 .
