.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBwpad\fR daemon provides common client functionality for the WiFi
Protected Access (WPA) versions 1 and 2, as defined by IEEE802.11i standard.
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.
