Replace the scan results -based implementation with the use of information
from the new BSS table maintained by wpa_supplicant to get a more stable
source of BSS data. Change the use of BSSID as the key for the BSS object
to use the BSS table unique identifier so that multi-SSID APs can be
handled properly.
In addition, provide another option for iterating through the BSS
entries. The old iteration: "BSS 0", "BSS 1", .. with index number.
The new iteration: "BSS FIRST", "BSS NEXT-<prev id>", .. with id
fetched from the previous output (id=<id> line).
This allows the BSS list to be iterated in order of increasing id
to avoid problems with new scans reordering entries. The order on the
wpa_s->bss list changes with most recently updated entries being moved
to the tail of the list while wpa_s->bss_id list maintains its order
with new entries being added to the tail and old entries being removed
when they expire.
This allows the driver interface to be deinitialized before
struct hostapd_data instance gets freed. This needs to be done so
that the driver wrapper does not maintain a context pointer to
freed memory.
Collect information from scan results into a BSS table that will not
expire information as quickly as scan results where every new scan,
no matter for how limited set of channels/SSIDs, clears all old
information.
For now, this is only used for D-Bus BSS added/removed notifications,
but this will likely be extended to be used internally instead of the
scan results to better support partial scans.
This has example code for fetching and interface object and optionally
creating a new interface is one is not found. After that, a scan is
requested and the script continues to listed for signals from
wpa_supplicant and print information about scan results and state
changes.
Must initialize key to be NULL since it can be used in an error
message. If the Scan method did not actually include any dict entries,
the uninitialized pointer was used and this could result in
wpa_supplicant crashing.
Removed the hack that used typecast to get rid of const by using local
variables that are allocated and freed. Fix couple of memory leaks
and check that the required Ifname parameter is included.
Doxygen and some build tools may get a bit confused about same file
name being used in different directories. Clean this up a bit by
renaming some of the duplicated file names in src/ap.
Initialize struct hostapd_data driver context with the same driver
information that was initialized earlier during wpa_supplicant start.
This allows the AP mode operations to be completed directly with the
same calls in AP code without having to maintain a separate translation
layer between the AP and station mode driver context.
Skip WPS IE building for Beacon and Probe Response frames is set_ie_cb()
is not set. This fixes a memory leak and optimizes operations by not
allocating memory and building the WPS IEs unnecessarily.
This code can be shared by both hostapd and wpa_supplicant and this
is an initial step in getting the generic code moved to be under the
src directories. Couple of generic files still remain under the
hostapd directory due to direct dependencies to files there. Once the
dependencies have been removed, they will also be moved to the src/ap
directory to allow wpa_supplicant to be built without requiring anything
from the hostapd directory.
