86d4f806da Add ctrl_iface command for triggering a roam to a specific BSS
'wpa_cli roam <bssid>' can now be used to test roaming within an ESS
(e.g., for FT over-the-air). This command will bypass a new scan and
will select the BSS based on the specified BSSID. It is responsibility
of the caller to make sure that the target AP is in the BSS table.
This can be done, e.g., by running a scan before the roam command,
if needed.

e7846b6859 FT: Clean up wpa_sm_set_ft_params() by using common parse
Instead of parsing the IEs in the callers, use the already existing
parser in wpa_ft.c to handle MDIE and FTIE from initial MD association
response. In addition, this provides more complete access to association
response IEs to FT code which will be needed to fix FT 4-way handshake
message 2/4.

If validation of the Reassociation Response frame fails during FT
Protocol, do not allow association to be completed; instead, force
deauthentication.

e2f74005f5 bgscan: Add signal strength change events
This allows bgscan modules to use more information to decide on when
to perform background scans. bgscan_simple can now change between
short and long background scan intervals based on signal strength
and in addition, it can trigger immediate scans when the signal
strength is detected to be dropping.

bgscan_simple takes following parameters now:
short interval:signal strength threshold:long interval
For example:
	bgscan="simple:30:-45:300"

b766a9a293 Add freq_list network configuration parameter
This can be used to limit which frequencies are considered when
selecting a BSS. This is somewhat similar to scan_freq, but will
also affect any scan results regardless of which program triggered
the scan.

036f7c4aab FT: Add preliminary processing of FT Action Response from EVENT_RX_ACTION
Previously, this was only done with userspace MLME (i.e., driver_test.c);
now, driver_nl80211.c can deliver the FT Action Response (FT-over-DS)
for processing. The reassociation after successful FT Action frame
exchange is not yet implemented.

be8be6717d Clear current_bss pointer on disassociation/deauthentication
This is needed to allow the BSS table entry for the previously used
BSS to be removed. Now wpa_bss_in_use() can return 0 for the last BSS
that was used as soon as deauthentication/disassociation event has been
received.

48563d86b2 Try to avoid some unnecessary roaming
When multiple APs are present in scan results with similar signal
strength, wpa_supplicant may end up bounching between them frequently
whenever new scan results are available (e.g., due to periodic scans
requested by NetworkManager). This can result in unnecessary roaming
and in case of the current cfg80211 version, to frequent network
disconnections.

Do not request a roam if the current BSS is still present in the scan
results and the selected BSS is in the same ESS and has only a slighly
stronger signal strength.

70f8cc8ec8 Share the same enum for MFP configuration
The three existing enums were already depending on using the same
values in couple of places and it is just simpler to standardize on
one of these to avoid need for mapping between different enums for
the exact same thing.

f8b1f69561 Use generic driver events for TX status and RX reporting
Replace driver wrapper calls to hostapd_tx_status(),
hostapd_rx_from_unknown_sta(), hostapd_mgmt_rx(), and
hostapd_mgmt_tx_cb() with new generic driver events
EVENT_TX_STATUS, EVENT_RX_FROM_UNKNOWN, and EVENT_RX_MGMT.

This cleans up lot of the driver wrapper code to be less dependent
on whether it is being used within wpa_supplicant AP mode or hostapd.

9c972abb66 IBSS RSN: Wait for connection event and do not use auth timeout
Wait for connection (IBSS join completed) event before marking state
completed. In addition, do not use the station mode authentication
timeout since that can trigger full disconnection from IBSS when
there is a timeout with just one of the peers.

a84ed99ee4 SME: Deauthenticate to clear state after disassociation events
cfg80211/mac80211 can get into somewhat confused state if the AP only
disassociates us and leaves us in authenticated state. For now, force
the state to be cleared with deauthentication to avoid confusing errors
if we try to associate with the AP again. This gets rid of 30 second
delay (scan timeout) in cases where only a disassociation frame is
received from the AP.

90973fb2fd Remove src/common from default header file path
This makes it clearer which files are including header from src/common.
Some of these cases should probably be cleaned up in the future not to
do that.

In addition, src/common/nl80211_copy.h and wireless_copy.h were moved
into src/drivers since they are only used by driver wrappers and do not
need to live in src/common.

6ae9318536 Split scan processing for RSN preauthentication into parts

doing so, removes the only dependency on src/drivers from the

69856fadf7 Add wpa_msg_ctrl() for ctrl_interface-only messages
This is like wpa_msg(), but the output is directed only to
ctrl_interface listeners. In other words, the output will not be
shown on stdout or in syslog.

Change scan result reporting to use wpa_msg_ctrl() for
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS message at info level and wpa_printf() at
debug level to avoid showing scan result events in syslog in the
common configuration used with NetworkManager.

e81634cd18 Skip networks without known SSID when selecting the BSS
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.

6d6f4bb87f nl80211: Work around mac80211 limitation on (re)auth when authenticated
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.

b55aaa5fdf Allow IBSS/AP mode networks to be created in ap_scan=1 mode
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.

0194fedb46 driver_nl80211: Fix MLME key settings for static WEP
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.

60b94c9819 Add preliminary background scan and roaming module design
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.

3180d7a208 Getting back to DISCONNECTED afer SCANNING
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.

8bac466b00 Add wpa_supplicant notification calls
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.

1ff733383f Delay processing of EAPOL frames when not associated
If an EAPOL frame is received while wpa_supplicant thinks the driver is
not associated, queue the frame for processing at the moment when the
association event is received. This is a workaround to a race condition
in receiving data frames and management events from the kernel.

The pending EAPOL frame will not be processed unless an association
event is received within 100 msec for the same BSSID.

cb8564b1dd dbus: add 'scanning' property
When the supplicant is connected and performs a scan, it doesn't enter
WPA_SCANNING state for various reasons.  However, external programs
still need to know that the supplicant is scanning since they may not
wish to perform certain operations during a scan (as those operations
will likely fail or yield incorrect results).  Add a 'scanning' property
and signal to the supplicant dbus interface to allow clients to
synchronize better with the supplicant when it scans.
