This depends on a patch to Linux nl80211/mac80211 that has not yet been
merged into wireless-testing. If that change is not present, the old
mechanism (WEXT) will be used instead.
It is better to pass both HT Capabilities and HT Operation IEs in the
same function call since it may be easier for the driver wrappers to
handle the changes without having to wait for the other IE in the
wrapper code.
If country_code is set in hostapd.conf, hostapd will now update nl80211
regulatory data by setting the alpha2 string for CRDA. In other words,
"iw reg set <alpha2>" is not needed anymore when using hostapd.
The patch for 0.9.9 was merged into the upstream OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree and
is not needed for EAP-FAST support with that OpenSSL version. The patch
for 0.9.8i is now using the same API that was included in 0.9.9.
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.
Changed accounting_sta_start() to call accounting_sta_get_id()
internally in accounting.c so that external callers do not need to do
anything to allocate unique accounting id. When starting a new session,
a unique identifier is needed anyway, so no need to keep these
operations separate.
This was used to allow hostapd to associate as a non-AP STA to another
AP one the same channel while still acting as an AP with the Host AP
driver. This was very experimental and did not work with all firmware
versions. Nowadays, much better way of doing this is to use mac80211
virtual non-AP STA interface. As such, this experimental code can be
removed from hostapd to reduce the code size and make MLME code easier
to understand since it is now only handling AP functionality.
This code was originally added as a mechanism to handle long waits
during channel selection and/or radar detection. It is not currently
really used and makes the setup sequence nearly impossible to
understand. Let's get rid of the unwanted complexity. This needs to be
redesigned if it is ever needed again.
This code was not finished and did not work with the current mac80211
design. In order to avoid confusing users, it is better to remove this
completely for now and look at new implementation to work with mac80211.
It looks like some Windows NDIS drivers (e.g., Intel) do not clear the
PMKID list even when wpa_supplicant explicitly sets the list to be
empty. In such a case, the driver ends up trying to use PMKSA caching
with the AP and wpa_supplicant may not have the PMK that would be needed
to complete 4-way handshake.
RSN processing already had some code for aborting PMKSA caching by
sending EAPOL-Start. However, this was not triggered in this particular
case where the driver generates the RSN IE. With this change, this case
is included, too, and the failed PMKSA caching attempt is cleanly
canceled and wpa_supplicant can fall back to full EAP authentication.
It looks like Qt does not support SVG format by default on Windows and
it was not trivial to add the plugin into the build, so for now, build a
16x16 PNG icon file for Windows binary to avoid showing an invisible
icon in the tray.
It the message was large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large
Session Ticket data is included), More Fragment flag was set, but no
more fragments were actually sent (i.e., Access-Accept was sent out).
It looks like [MS-PEAP] 3.2.5.6 points towards this being the expected
behavior (however, that chapter is very confusing).
In addition, remove Cryptobinding TLV from response if the received
Cryptobinding TLV is not valid. Add some more debug messages to the case
where the received Cryptobinding TLV is found invalid.
