d3a9822542 Add support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
A new network block parameter, scan_freq, can be used to specify subset
of frequencies to scan. This can speed up scanning process considerably
if it is known that only a small subset of channels is actually used in
the network. A union of configured frequencies for all enabled network
blocks is used in scan requests.

Currently, only driver_nl80211.c has support for this functionality.

For example, following parameter marks 2.4 GHz channels 1, 6, 11 to be
scanned: scan_freq=2412 2437 2462

1581b38b67 Initial step in adding simple AP mode support into wpa_supplicant
This version is adding the configuration option (mode=2) for this and
driver capability reporting to figure out whether AP mode can be used.
However, this does not actually implement any real functionality yet.

36b15723ca Deprecate set_drop_unencrypted(), set_auth_alg(), and set_mode()
All these driver handlers can be implemented in associate() handler
which gets all the needed information in the parameters structure. The
old functions that provided only a single parameter will be removed
eventually to clean up the driver_ops structure, so driver wrappers
should start using the newer mechanism.

c2a0407851 Add SME support (separate authentication and association)
This can be used, e.g., with mac80211-based Linux drivers with
nl80211. This allows over-the-air FT protocol to be used (IEEE
802.11r).

Since the nl80211 interface needed for this is very recent (added
today  into wireless-testing.git), driver_nl80211.c has backwards
compatibility code that uses WEXT for association if the kernel does
not support the new commands. This compatibility code can be
disabled by defining NO_WEXT_COMPAT. That code will also be removed
at  some point to clean up driver_nl80211.c.

babfbf15cc FT: Add RIC Request generation and validation (but not processing)
This adds first part of FT resource request as part of Reassocition
Request frame (i.e., FT Protocol, not FT Resource Request Protocol).
wpa_supplicant can generate a test resource request when driver_test.c
is used with internal MLME code and hostapd can verify the FTIE MIC
properly with the included RIC Request.

The actual RIC Request IEs are not processed yet and hostapd does not
yet reply with RIC Response (nor would wpa_supplicant be able to
validate the FTIE MIC for a frame with RIC Response).

4ef1e644eb Determiner whether driver is wired at runtime based on capabilities
Do not use just the driver name for this since driver_ndis.c supports
both wired and wireless NDIS drivers and needs to indicate the driver
type after initialization.

7c2849d2a0 Add BSS flags to scan results to indicate signal quality validity
These flags are used to mark which values (level, noise, qual) are
invalid (not available from the driver) and whether level is using dBm.
D-Bus interface will now only report the values that were available.

ba2a573c5f Rename "broadcast SSID" to "wildcard SSID"
"Wildcard SSID" is the term used in IEEE Std 802.11-2007, so it is a
better name for the zero-length SSID used in Probe Request.

fc2b7ed5f3 Add extended driver scan request command: driver_ops::scan2()
This can be used to provide support for scanning multiple SSIDs at a
time to optimize scan_ssid=1 operations. In addition, Probe Request IEs
will be available to scan2() (e.g., for WPS PBC scanning).

80bc75f135 New driver capability info: max number of scan SSIDs
The driver wrappers can now inform wpa_supplicant how many SSIDs can
be used in a single scan request (i.e., send multiple Probe Requests
per channel). This value is not yet used, but it can eventually be used
to allow a new scan command to specify multiple SSIDs to speed up
scan_ssid=1 operations. In addition, a warning could be printed if
scan_ssid=1 is used with a driver that does not support it
(max_scan_ssids=0).

11ef8d3578 Added initial step for IBSS RSN support
This commit adds a new build option, CONFIG_IBSS_RSN=y, that can be used
to enable RSN support for IBSS. This links in RSN Authenticator code
from hostapd and adds code for managing per-peer information for IBSS. A
new wpa_cli command or driver event can be used to request RSN
authentication with an IBSS peer. New RSN Authenticator and Supplicant
will be allocated for each peer.

The basic state machine setup code is included in this commit, but the
state machines are not properly started yet. In addition, some of the
callback functions are not yet complete.

4b4a8ae547 Added a mechanism for quering driver wrappers for available interfaces
The new INTERFACE_LIST global control interface command can be used to
request a list of all available network interfaces that could be used
with the enabled driver wrappers. This could be used to enable
interfaces automatically by external programs (e.g., wpa_gui).

ac305589a3 Added support for global driver data (shared by multiple interfaces)
Driver wrappers can now register global_init() and global_deinit()
driver_ops handlers to get a global data structure that can be shared
for all interfaces. This allows driver wrappers to initialize some
functionality (e.g., interface monitoring) before any interfaces have
been initialized.

6d1584905c wpa_supplicant: Add support for setting of a regulatory domain
This adds support for setting of a regulatory domain to wpa_supplicant
drivers. It also adds regulatory domain setting for the nl80211 driver.
We expect an ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 in the wpa configuration file as a
global.

351f09a221 WPS: Added support for fragmented WPS IE in Beacon and Probe Response
Fragment WPS IE if needed to fit into the IE length limits in hostapd
and Reassemble WPS IE data from multiple IEs in wpa_supplicant.

In addition, moved WPS code from events.c into wps_supplicant.c to clean
up module interfaces.

ad08c3633c Added preliminary Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) implementation
This adds WPS support for both hostapd and wpa_supplicant. Both programs
can be configured to act as WPS Enrollee and Registrar. Both PBC and PIN
methods are supported.

Currently, hostapd has more complete configuration option for WPS
parameters and wpa_supplicant configuration style will likely change in
the future. External Registrars are not yet supported in hostapd or
wpa_supplicant. While wpa_supplicant has initial support for acting as
an Registrar to configure an AP, this is still using number of hardcoded
parameters which will need to be made configurable for proper operation.

e519314ee9 Add RoboSwitch driver interface for wpa_supplicant
Find attached the patch that creates a new driver: roboswitch. This
driver adds support for wired authentication with a Broadcom
RoboSwitch chipset. For example it is now possible to do wired
authentication with a Linksys WRT54G router running OpenWRT.

LIMITATIONS
- At the moment the driver does not support the BCM5365 series (though
adding it requires just some register tweaks).
- The driver is also limited to Linux (this is a far more technical
restriction).
- In order to compile against a 2.4 series you need to edit
include/linux/mii.h and change all references to "u16" in "__u16". I
have submitted a patch upstream that will fix this in a future version
of the 2.4 kernel. [These modifications (and more) are now included in
the kernel source and can be found in versions 2.4.37-rc2 and up.]

USAGE
- Usage is similar to the wired driver. Choose the interfacename of
the vlan that contains your desired authentication port on the router.
This name must be formatted as <interface>.<vlan>, which is the
default on all systems I know.

ec5f180a24 Add an optional set_mode() driver_ops handler for setting mode before keys
A bug just got reported as a result of this for mac80211 drivers.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459399

The basic problem is that since taking the device down clears the keys
from the driver on many mac80211-based cards, and since the mode gets
set _after_ the keys have been set in the driver, the keys get cleared
on a mode switch and the resulting association is wrong.  The report is
about ad-hoc mode specifically, but this could happen when switching
from adhoc back to managed mode.
