The BSS table entries may be in more or less random order and it is
better to show the most likely WPS configuration method in a way that is
somewhat more consistent instead of just showing the method of the first
BSS entry found in the table.
The proto configuration may be left to non-zero when moving from one
configuration to another. To avoid misidentifying a network
configuration as enabling WPA, check key_mgmt field, too.
This adds partial callbacks and events to allow P2P management to be
implemented in a driver/firmware. This is not yet complete and is
very much subject to change in the future.
CONFIG_WPS_REG_DISABLE_OPEN=y can be used to configure wpa_supplicant
to disable open networks by default when wps_reg command is used to
learn the current AP settings. When this is enabled, there will be a
WPS-OPEN-NETWORK ctrl_iface event and the user will need to explicitly
enable the network (e.g., with "select_network <id>") to connect to
the open network.
With the new kernel functionality coming to Linux to allow off-channel
TX, we can take advantage of that in the P2P code that currently uses
remain-on-channel. If a driver advertises support for it, it will be
asked to handle off-channel TX by itself.

The nl80211 driver can report low ACK condition (in fact it reports
complete loss right now only). Use that, along with a config option, to
disconnect stations when the data connection is not working properly,
e.g., due to the STA having went outside the range of the AP. This is
disabled by default and can be enabled with disassoc_low_ack=1 in
hostapd or wpa_supplicant configuration file.

The WPS mode was already verified when the AP was configured for
WPA/WPA2, but this was not done with AP that was in open mode.
Fix this by allowing wpa_supplicant_ssid_bss_match() to be called
in non-WPA configuration, too. With this change, wps_pbc BSSID
command will wait until the specified target AP is in active PBC
mode before trying to connect to it.
If a station received unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation
frame with reason code 6 or 7 from the current AP, there may be a
mismatch in association state between the AP and STA. Verify whether
this is the case by using SA Query procedure. If not response is
received from the AP, deauthenticate.
This implementation is only for user space SME with
driver_nl80211.c.
Some new code I'm working on will need the scan_res_handler assigned all
the time in certain circumstances, so the easiest way is to reset it
within the handler. This is currently prevented by the way the code in
the event handler works -- change that to permit such usage.

The array's type should be given as the proper
DBUS_TYPE_STRING_AS_STRING, but evidently it
doesn't matter since it's all packed into a
variant type.

If there is a pending GO Negotiation when p2p_cancel is used,
unauthorize the peer to avoid immediate reconnection from being
accepted without a new p2p_connect command.
We should cancel group formation completely on PBC overlap instead
of just partially notifying that operations were stopped. There is
no point in waiting for the group formation timeout in this case.
Previously, pairwise and group cipher suites were configured only
when kernel SME (nl80211 connect API) was used. However, mac80211
needs this information even in the user space SME case for one
thing: to disable HT when TKIP/WEP is used. Add
NL80211_ATTR_CIPHER_SUITES_PAIRWISE to fix this special case with
user space SME. This allows mac80211 to disable HT properly when
the AP is configured with configuration that is not allowed.
This add preliminary code for setting the per-STA RX GTK for
RSN IBSS when nl80211 drivers. For some reason, this does not
seem to fully work, but at least driver_nl80211.c is now aware of
what kind of key is being set and the whatever is missing from
making this key configuration go through should be specific to
nl80211/cfg80211.
This unref is guaranteed to be freeing a NULL pointer.

When controlling multiple virtual interfaces on the same physical
radio, share the scan results events with sibling interfaces. This
decreases the time it takes to connect many virtual interfaces.
This is currently only supported on Linux with cfg80211-based
drivers when using nl80211 or wext driver interface.

Some drivers are not providing exactly reliable error codes (e.g.,
with WEXT), but others may actually indicate reliable information.
Allow driver wrappers to indicate if that is the case and use
optimizations if so. For now, this improves nl80211 with
NL80211_CMD_CONNECT for a case where connection request fails.
mac80211 can indicate this mainly because of channel selection
conflicts with other vifs. If there is another BSS on another
channel, we should try to connect to it instead.
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT_AND_NON_P2P flag can now be used to
indicate that the initial interface (e.g., wlan0) is used for
P2P management operations and potentially non-P2P connections.
This is otherwise identical to
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_DEDICATED_INTERFACE, but the possibility of
non-P2P connections makes some operations differ.
This may make it less likely for udev to rename the interface that
would previously have been called wlan0-p2p-# (now: p2p-wlan0-#).
In addition, add some workaround code to handle the case where the
main interface name is close to the IFNAMSIZ length limit to
avoid going over that for the P2P group interface.
In theory, the interface name could be longer than IFNAMSIZ in
some systems, so use the same size buffer for this field as is
used with the main interface name.
Some other dnsmasq users (like libvirt) seem to be binding the DHCP
server to all interfaces which prevents the previously used mechanism
here from working (bind on the DHCP socket fails). If a failure is
noticed, try to start dnsmasq with -z option to avoid that.
Move the previously SME specific optimization code into generic
function that can be used from non-SME code, too, and use it to
handle disconnection events. In other words, allow disconnection
event to trigger similar optimized scanning case to handle a
common load balancing mechanism. If there is another BSS in the
same ESS when we receive a disconnection event, scan only the
known frequencies of such other BSSes on the next attempt to
speed up recovery.
The special case of requiring blacklisting count to be 2 or higher
is only needed when more than a single network is currently enabled.
As such, we should not do that when only a single network is enabled.
This make the station more likely to follow network side load
balancing attempts where the current AP may disassociate us with
an assumption that we would move to another AP.
When authentication or association fails when trying to connect to
a BSS in an ESS that has multiple BSSes based on previous scans,
limit the first recovery scan to only the known channels that has
been seen previously. This speeds up recovery in some of the most
commonly used load balancing mechanisms in enterprise WLAN
networks.
There were various issues in how the SME (i.e., nl80211-based driver
interface) handled various authentication and association timeouts and
failures. Authentication failure was not handled at all (wpa_supplicant
just stopped trying to connect completely), authentication timeout
resulted in blacklisting not working in the expected way (i.e., the same
BSS could be selected continuously), and association cases had similar
problems.
Use a common function to handle all these cases and fix the blacklist
operation. Use smaller delay before trying to scan again during the
initial cycle through the available APs to speed up connection. Add
a special case for another-BSS-in-the-same-ESS being present to
speed up recovery from networks with multiple APs doing load balancing
in various odd ways that are deployed out there.
assoc_freq needs to be cleared when an interface gets disconnected.
This fixes an issue where P2P Action frame transmission may fail
because of missing remain-on-channel operation when using the same
interface for group operations (or non-P2P connections) and P2P
management operations.
The wpa_supplicant_event() EVENT_TX_STATUS ack field needs to be
converted to use wpas_send_action_tx_status()
enum p2p_send_action_result in this case, too, to avoid getting
incorrect TX status for P2P processing.
By default, make hostapd and wpa_supplicant maintain an internal
entropy pool that is fed with following information:
hostapd:
- Probe Request frames (timing, RSSI)
- Association events (timing)
- SNonce from Supplicants
wpa_supplicant:
- Scan results (timing, signal/noise)
- Association events (timing)
The internal pool is used to augment the random numbers generated
with the OS mechanism (os_get_random()). While the internal
implementation is not expected to be very strong due to limited
amount of generic (non-platform specific) information to feed the
pool, this may strengthen key derivation on some devices that are
not configured to provide strong random numbers through
os_get_random() (e.g., /dev/urandom on Linux/BSD).
This new mechanism is not supposed to replace proper OS provided
random number generation mechanism. The OS mechanism needs to be
initialized properly (e.g., hw random number generator,
maintaining entropy pool over reboots, etc.) for any of the
security assumptions to hold.
If the os_get_random() is known to provide strong ramdom data (e.g., on
Linux/BSD, the board in question is known to have reliable source of
random data from /dev/urandom), the internal hostapd random pool can be
disabled. This will save some in binary size and CPU use. However, this
should only be considered for builds that are known to be used on
devices that meet the requirements described above. The internal pool
is disabled by adding CONFIG_NO_RANDOM_POOL=y to the .config file.
We can automatically accept invitations that are for a persistent
group that is already running. There is no need to confirm this
separately or preparare a new group interface.
When an Invitation to reinvoke a persistent group is accepted,
we need to make sure that any pending p2p_find or p2p_listen
operation gets stopped to avoid consuming all radio resources
doing device discovery while the group is being set up.
The duplicated WPS event in the parent interface should only be used
during P2P group formation, i.e., when the WPS operation was actually
started using the parent interface. When authorizing a client to
connect to an already running group, the WPS command is issued on
the group interface and there is no need to duplicate the event to
the parent interface.
