bbb921daaa Maintain internal entropy pool for augmenting random number generation
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.

53587ec183 WPS 2.0: Make WSC 2.0 support to be build option (CONFIG_WPS2)
For now, the default build will only include WSC 1.0 support.
CONFIG_WPS2=y can be used to add support for WSC 2.0.

50b5bf4eda Remove obsolete Prism54.org driver support (driver_prism54.c)
The Prism54.org project seems have been dead for a while and it does not
look like this driver would ever be maintained again. Furthermore, it is
difficult to find a version that would work with the driver_prism54.c
wrapper and there is another driver for these card in the Linux kernel
tree.

The hostapd integration in driver_prism54.c is quite different from the
other driver wrappers and would require major effort to get it cleaned
up. Since there does not seem to be any real users for the cleaned up
version, there does not seem to be justification to spend this effort on
the wrapper. This old code is making it much more difficult to clean up
the driver interface and at this point, the best option seems to be to
remove the driver wrappers. Should someone really still need this, the
old code will continue to be available in hostapd 0.6.x.

b60d6f61e4 Make HOSTAPD_DUMP_STATE configurable with CONFIG_NO_DUMP_STATE
This removes the hardcoded definition from Makefile and cleans up
source code by moving the mail HOSTAPD_DUMP_STATE blocks into separate
files to avoid conditional compilation within files.

e7e9c46e55 Use better examples for MadWifi path in defconfig, clarify comments
MadWifi is unlikely to be in ../head relative to hostapd or
wpa_supplicant, as it would be inside the hostap git repository.
MadWifi sources are more likely to be in a directory called "madwifi"
and residing outside the hostap repository.  Using "madwifi" also
demonstrates that the top-level madwifi directory is needed.

03018d3e7c Added CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG for hostapd
This is similar to one in wpa_supplicant and can be used to reduce the
binary size by removing debugging messages.

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.

d64dabeebc Added a new driver wrapper, "none", for RADIUS server only configuration
This can be used to limit hostapd code size and clean up debug output for
configurations that do not use hostapd to control AP functionality.

6affdaee6b Support for RADIUS ACLs with drivers that do not use hostapd MLME
Sam Leffler <sam@errno.com>:
Attached are changes from Chris Zimmerman (cc'd) to allow drivers to handle
radius ACL's.  The patch is against 0.5.10 but I suspect will also apply to
your latest code.  These mods enable radius acl support in freebsd w/ my
vap code.

You may want to do the changes to ieee802_11_auth.c differently as they
currently require all participating drivers to work the same.  You might be
able to check the return value from hostapd_set_radius_acl_auth and use
that to decide whether the alternate code should be run so you can have 1
driver using this stuff while the other does not.

(jm: Added without more dynamic check for now; in addition, none of the
current in-tree driver wrappers actually implement these handlers, so this
is in preparation for future changes)
