Initial import of documentation for net80211 interface code.
Of particular interest here is the ieee80211_radiotap(9) man page. TODO: Flesh out ieee80211_node.9, ieee80211_proto.9. Submitted by: bms (with help from Darron Broad)

+.Nd 802.11 WEP encryption functions
+.Sh SYNOPSIS

+.Ft void

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+collection of 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
+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.
