wlan_xauth — External authenticator support for 802.11 devices

       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).

       The wlan_xauth driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0.
