NAME

       wpad - WPA and WPA2 protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/inet/wpad [-i interface] [-k pre_shared_key_name]

DESCRIPTION

       The  wpad daemon provides common client functionality for the WiFi Protected Access (WPA) versions 1 and 2, as defined by IEEE802.11i stan-
       dard. WPA was created by the WiFi Alliance, an industry trade group. WPA implements the majority of the	IEEE  802.11i  standard,  and  was
       intended  as  an  intermediate  measure to take the place of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) while 802.11i was prepared. WPA2 implements the
       full standard.

       wpad provides the following WPA/IEEE 802.11i features:

	   o	  WPA-PSK ("WPA-Personal")

	   o	  Key management for CCMP, TKIP, WEP104, WEP40

       Stop and start the wpad daemon using dladm(1M). Use:

	 # dladm connect-wifi

       ...to start the wpad daemon. Use:

	 # dladm disconnect-wifi

       ...to stop the daemon.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -i interface

	   Specify a WiFi Link interface to start the wpad daemon.

       -k pre_shared_key_name

	   Specify the pre-shared key used for the WiFi Link.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Starting the wpad Daemon on Specific WiFi Link

       To create the WPA key psk, enter the  following command:

	 # dladm create-secobj -c wpa psk

       To use key psk to connect to ESSID wlan on link ath0, enter the following command:

	 # dladm connect-wifi -k psk -e wlan ath0

       Example 2 Stopping the wpad Daemon on Specific WiFi Link

       To stop the daemon on the link ath0, enter:

	 # dladm disconnect-wifi ath0
