Instead of implementing HTTP client functionality inside
wps_upnp_event.c, use a generic HTTP client module to do this. The HTTP
client code can now be shared more easily for other purposes, too.
This is the first step in adding support for using wpa_supplicant as a
WPS External Registrar to manage APs over UPnP. Only the device
discovery part is implemented in this commit.
New wpa_supplicant command line options -o<driver> and -O<ctrl> can
now be used to override the parameters received in add interface
command from dbus or global ctrl_interface. This can be used, e.g.,
to enable control interface when using NetworkManager (add
-O/var/run/wpa_supplicant into the Exec parameter in
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service).
Similarly, this can be used to use another driver wrapper with
NetworkManager (e.g., -onl80211 to replace WEXT with nl80211).
This provides information about PBC mode result from the WPS Registrar
module. This could be used, e.g., to provide a user notification on the
AP UI on PBC failures.
Force deauthentication from the AP to clear mac80211 state (it would get
stuck with future scans if the AP is left in authenticated, but not
associated, state).
Add blacklist entry for the AP to allow other APs with worse signal
strength to be tried (e.g., when APs are trying to do load balancing
with status code 17). Reduce wait for the next scan to speed up
connection in cases where there could be other APs that could accept
association, but which show worse signal strength.
This functionality fits better with src/tls (i.e., internal TLS
implementation), so move it there to make crypto_internal.c more
of a wrapper like other crypto_*.c files.
Previously, APs that were hiding SSID (zero-length SSID IE in
Beacon frames) could have been selected when wildcard SSID matching
was used. This would result in failed association attempt since
the client does not know the correct SSID. This can slow down WPS
which is often using wildcard SSID matching.
Ignore BSSes without known SSID in the scan results when selecting
which BSS to use.
This patch completely separates supplicant's code from dbus.
It introduces three new notifications which copes with all
remaining dbus stuff.
wpas_notify_unregister_interface() was renamed to
wpas_notify_iface_removed().
The hostapd/wpa_supplicant compilation failed with CONFIG_IEEE80211R=y
or CONFIG_IEEE80211W=y option if CONFIG_EAP_PSK and CONFIG_EAP_GPSK are
not used.
mac80211 does not currently allow (re)authentication when we are already
authenticated. In order to work around this, force deauthentication if
nl80211 authentication command fails with EALREADY. Unfortunately, the
workaround code in driver_nl80211.c alone is not enough since the
following disconnection event would clear wpa_supplicant authentication
state. To handle this, add some code to restore authentication state
when using userspace SME.
This workaround will hopefully become unnecessary in some point should
mac80211 start accepting new authentication requests even when in
authenticated state.
Reorganize the TLS/crypto library segments into a single set of blocks
for each library instead of multiple locations handling library-specific
operations. Group crypto functionality together and get wpa_supplicant
and hostapd Makefile closer to eachother in order to make it easier to
eventually move this into a shared makefile.
Crypto library wrappers can now override the internal DH (group 5)
implementation. As a starting point, this is done with OpenSSL. The
new mechanism is currently available only for WPS (i.e., IKEv2 still
depends on the internal DH implementation).
Whenever running wpa_supplicant in AP mode with WPS enabled, the
notifications of missing WPS PIN are now shown on the peer dialog
to make it easier to provide the PIN.
If no BSSes/IBSSes matching the enabled networks are found in the scan
results, IBSS/AP mode network (if configured) can be created in
ap_scan=1 mode instead of requiring ap_scan=2 mode to be used whenever
using IBSS or AP mode.
This brings in the first step in adding support for using NSS
(Mozilla Network Security Services) as the crypto and TLS library
with wpa_supplicant. This version is able to run through EAP-PEAP
and EAP-TTLS authentication, but does not yet implement any
certificate/private key configuration. In addition, this does not
implement proper key fetching functions either, so the end result
is not really of much use in real world yet.
Current wpa_supplicant has a bug with WEP keys, it adds a zero-length
sequence counter field to netlink which the kernel doesn't accept.
Additionally, the kernel API slightly changed to accept keys only when
connected, so we need to send it the keys after that. For that to work
with shared key authentication, we also include the default WEP TX key
in the authentication command.
To upload the keys properly _after_ associating, add a new flag
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_SET_KEYS_AFTER_ASSOC_DONE indicating that the driver
needs the keys at that point and not earlier.
This allows background scanning and roaming decisions to be contained in
a single place based on a defined set of notification events which will
hopefully make it easier to experiment with roaming improvements. In
addition, this allows multiple intra-ESS roaming policies to be used
(each network configuration block can configure its own bgscan module).
The beacon loss and signal strength notifications are implemented for
the bgscan API, but the actual events are not yet available from the
driver.
The included sample bgscan module ("simple") is an example of what can
be done with the new bgscan mechanism. It requests periodic background
scans when the device remains associated with an ESS and has couple of
notes on what a more advanced bgscan module could do to optimize
background scanning and roaming. The periodic scans will cause the scan
result handler to pick a better AP if one becomes available. This bgscan
module can be taken into use by adding bgscan="simple" (or
bgscan="simple:<bgscan interval in seconds>") into the network
configuration block.
After transitioning from DISCONNECTED to SCANNING, we never go back
to DISCONNECTED even though scanning is done or failed.
We're thus stuck in SCANNING while scanning is actually done.
Convert wpa_supplicant_get_scan_results_old() to use the same return
style with the other get_scan_results options and clean up the code
by sharing the same scan result freeing and error checking code for
all the options.
Instead of implementing these separately in various control
interface handlers, use shared functions. These add some of the
previously missing notification calls, too, for the affected areas.
This introduces a new mechanism for collecting notification calls into
a single place (notify.c). As a result of this, most of the
wpa_supplicant code does not need to know about dbus (etc. mechanisms
that could use the notifications). Some empty placeholder functions are
also added in preparation of new dbus code that needs more event
notifications.
In addition, add a peer entry type for each peer entry. Currently,
this is only stored as an integer and visible in the context menu.
Eventually, different icons should be used based on this type.
