NAME
     wlan_ccmp -- AES-CCMP crypto support for 802.11 devices

SYNOPSIS
     device wlan_ccmp

DESCRIPTION
     The wlan_ccmp module handles the AES-CCMP cryptographic requirements of the WPA and 802.11i protocols.  It does encapsulation and decapsula-
     tion of CCMP-encoded 802.11 frames and optionally calculates the AES-CCMP cipher.	The wlan_ccmp module is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin
     module for use by the wlan(4) module.  This module is automatically loaded if an AES-CCMP key is configured; typically by a WPA supplicant
     program such as wpa_supplicant, or a WPA authenticator program such as hostapd.  Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing
     the AES-CCMP calculations in hardware, the wlan_ccmp module will do the work.
