When using OpenSSL with TLS-based EAP methods, wpa_supplicant can now be
configured to use OCSP stapling (TLS certificate status request) with
ocsp=1 network block parameter. ocsp=2 can be used to require valid OCSP
response before connection is allowed to continue.
hostapd as EAP server can be configured to return cached OCSP response
using the new ocsp_stapling_response parameter and an external mechanism
for updating the response data (e.g., "openssl ocsp ..." command).
This allows wpa_supplicant to verify that the server certificate has not
been revoked as part of the EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS/FAST handshake before
actual data connection has been established (i.e., when a CRL could not
be fetched even if a distribution point were specified).

This can be used to configure wpa_supplicant to ignore old scan results

configure wpa_supplicant to ignore the preference on shared operating

behavior is to try to start any new P2P group on an operating channel
that is already in use on another virtual interface to avoid extra cost
from hopping between multiple channels. If this new parameter is set to

By default, P2P is enabled globally for all virtual interfaces and this
makes wpa_supplicant include WSC and P2P IEs in Probe Request frames for

into Probe Request frames with a per-interface p2p_disabled parameter.
This can be set either in the configuration file (p2p_disabled=1) or at

This enables setting a different max inactivity timeout for P2P GO.
This timeout is used to detect inactive clients. In some scenarios
it may be useful to have control over this and set a shorter timeout
than the default 300s. For example when running STA and P2P GO interfaces
concurrently, the STA interface may perform scans which may cause the
GO to miss a disassoc / deauth frames from a client and keep assuming
that the client is connected until the inactivity detection kicks in.
300 secs is a bit too long for such scenarios and creates a bad user

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.
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

Currently, hostapd has more complete configuration option for WPS

I fixed the engine issue in phase2 of EAP-TTLS. The problem was that you
only defined one engine variable, which was read already in phase1. I
defined some new variables:
engine2
engine2_id

and added support to read those in phase2 wheres all the engine
variables without number are only read in phase1. That solved it and I
am now able to use an engine also in EAP-TTLS phase2.
Added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against TKIP
deficiencies. This can be set either by the Authenticator (to initiate

Authenticator to rekey PTK).
With both wpa_ptk_rekey and wpa_group_rekey (in hostapd) set to 600, TKIP
keys will not be used for more than 10 minutes which may make some attacks
against TKIP more difficult to implement.
Setting the value of the SET_NETWORK command to NULL (without quotation)
