The new ssid2 parameter can be used as an alternative mechanism for
configuring SSID for hostapd. It uses the same formats that
wpa_supplicant uses in the configuration file for strings.

P"<escaped string>" can now be used as an alternative method for

This allows the password parameter for EAP methods to be fetched
from an external storage.
Following example can be used for developer testing:
ext_password_backend=test:pw1=password|pw2=testing
network={
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=TTLS
identity="user"
password=ext:pw1
ca_cert="ca.pem"
phase2="auth=PAP"
}
Signed-hostap: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
This allows wpa_supplicant configuration file to be created without
the PSK/passphrase value included in the file when a backend for
external password storage is available.
Following example can be used for developer testing:
ext_password_backend=test:psk1=12345678
network={
ssid="test-psk"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk=ext:psk1
}

This new mechanism can be used to make wpa_supplicant using external
storage (e.g., key store in the operating system) for passwords,
passphrases, and PSKs. This commit is only adding the framework part
needed to support this, i.e., no actual configuration parameter can
yet use this new mechanism. In addition, only a simple test backend
is added to allow developer testing of the functionality.

Each cred block can now be matched based on Roaming Consortium OI as an
alternative mechanism to using NAI Realm information. This may be
optimized for efficiency in the future since Roaming Consortium
information is available in scan results without having to go through
ANQP queries. In addition, this is easier to support in case there is a
large number of realms that can be used for authentication.

The new cred block parameters eap, phase1, and phase2 can be used to

Instead of requiring low-level access to an NFC device and synchronous
operations, the new WPS_NFC_TOKEN and WPS_NFC ctrl_iface commands can be
used to build a NFC password token and initiate WPS protocol run using
that token (or pre-configured values) as separate commands. The
WPS_NFC_TOKEN output can be written to a NFC tag using an external
program, i.e., wpa_supplicant does not need to have low-level code for
NFC operations for this.

The nl80211 driver interface does not allow 128-bit WEP to be used

Do not try to associate with a network that has an invalid or incomplete
configuration because the association or at least data connection would
fail anyway. This commits adds a common function for checking whether a
network block is disabled to make it easier to check network blocks
without having to reject them during configuration file parsing (which
would prevent wpa_supplicant from starting). The only additional check
added in this commit is to verify the WEP key length. Similar checks for
other parameters can be added in future commits.

p2p_pref_chan configuration parameter can now be used to set the
list of preferred channel for P2P GO Negotiation. This will be used
in the priority order if the peer does not support the channel we
are trying to use as the GO (configured operating channel or the
best 2.4 GHz/5 GHz channel) for the case where a forced channel is
not used.
p2p_pref_chan=<op class:channel>,...
For example:
p2p_pref_chan=81:1,81:2,81:3,81:4,81:5,81:6
This would configure 2.4 GHz channels 1-6 as the preferred ones with
channel 1 the most preferred option.
These configuration parameters can be set in wpa_supplicant.conf and
dynamically updated with "wpa_cli set <param> <value>".

The previous elements need to be moved only if we are inserting the new

This allows credentials to be set with a specific priority to allow
