+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wlan_xauth
+.Nd External authenticator support for 802.11 devices
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device wlan_xauth"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+module is a
+.Xr wlan 4
+authenticator plugin
+for use with user-mode authentication implementations such
+as
+.Nm 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.
+.Pp
+This module is automatically loaded by the rc script that normally
+starts
+.Xr hostapd 8 .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr wlan 4
+.Sh STANDARDS
+More information can be found in the IEEE 802.11, WPA, and 802.11i Standards.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 6.0 .
