This behaves like the one in wpa_supplicant, i.e., hostapd can be
configured not to process new credentials (AP settings) internally and
instead pass the WPS attributes for an external program to process over
ctrl_iface.
The default interval is now 5 seconds (used to be 1 second for
interactive mode and 2 seconds for wpa_cli -a). The interval can be
changed with -G<seconds> command line option.
The separate Association Comeback Time IE was removed from IEEE 802.11w
and the Timeout Interval IE (from IEEE 802.11r) is used instead. The
editing on this is still somewhat incomplete in IEEE 802.11w/D7.0, but
still, the use of Timeout Interval IE is the expected mechanism.
The wps_cred_process option can be used to configure wpa_supplicant to
send received Credential attributes for external processing over
ctrl_iface and dbus. This allows external programs to update their
configuration when WPS is used to provision new networks.
This makes it easier to pass the credential data to external programs
(e.g., Network Manager) for processing. The actual use of this data is
not yet included in hostapd/wpa_supplicant.
The current implementation does not support WPA/WPA2-Enterprise
credentials. Ignore any credential that is using unsupported
authentication type to avoid potential issues with partially configured
network blocks.
Must not set pairwise_cipher/group_cipher for non-WPA/WPA2 networks
since the configuration parser is going to reject such values. In
addition, should not limit group_cipher to just TKIP or TKIP|CCMP just
in case the AP is using WEP as the group cipher. Default group_cipher
value can be used for all cases.
RSN IBSS uses authentication per-STA and that is initialized separately,
so there is no need to enable the per-BSS like authentication that is
used with APs.
This makes wpa_gui remember whether it was only in the tray when the
session was terminated and starts only in the tray if session manager
restarts it automatically.
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.
Do not add the automatically generated RADIUS attributes NAS-IP-Address,
Calling-Station-Id, Framed-MTU, NAS-Port-Type, and Connect-Info if -N
option is used with the same attribute type. This allows these
attributes to be replaced without causing duplicate entries.
This is needed for airo driver to work correctly and no other driver
seems to care, so the change is safe to make. This has been in number of
distro releases for a long time and no issues have been reported.
