+.Sh NAME
+.Nm wlan_gcmp
+.Nd AES-GCMP crypto support for 802.11 devices
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "device wlan_gcmp"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+module handles the
+.Em Galois/Counter Mode Protocol
+cryptographic requirements of the IEEE 802.11ad and WPA2/WPA3 protocols.
+It does encapsulation and decapsulation of GCMP-encoded 802.11 frames
+and optionally calculates the AES-GCMP cipher.
+The
+.Nm
+module is an 802.11 cryptographic plugin module for use by the
+.Xr wlan 4
+module.
+This module is automatically loaded if an AES-GCMP key is configured;
+typically by a WPA supplicant program such as wpa_supplicant,
+or a WPA authenticator program such as
+.Nm hostapd .
+Should the underlying network device not be capable of doing the AES-GCMP
+calculations in hardware, the
+.Nm
+module will do the work.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr wlan 4 ,
+.Xr wlan_ccmp 4 ,
+.Xr wlan_tkip 4 ,
+.Xr wlan_wep 4
+.Sh STANDARDS
+More information can be found in the IEEE 802.11, and WPA Standards.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Fx 15.0 .
