This gets rid of previously deprecated driver_ops handlers set_wpa,
set_drop_unencrypted, set_auth_alg, set_mode. The same functionality
can be achieved by using the init/deinit/associate handlers.
Clean up driver_nl80211.c by gettign rid of the last remaining WEXT use.
This requires that a recent mac80211 version is used to get full protection
in station mode via the authorized flag (IEEE 802.1X PAE).
Clean up driver interface by merging hostapd and wpa_supplicant
specific set_beacon driver_ops into a single one. In addition,
merge set_beacon_int into to the same operation.
Always bring down the wlan interface, even when not changing the
BSSID, the interface also needs to be down for changing its type
from managed to AP mode.
gcc 4.4 ends up generating strict-aliasing warnings about some very common
networking socket uses that do not really result in a real problem and
cannot be easily avoided with union-based type-punning due to struct
definitions including another struct in system header files. To avoid having
to fully disable strict-aliasing warnings, provide a mechanism to hide the
typecast from aliasing for now. A cleaner solution will hopefully be found
in the future to handle these cases.
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.
Replace "nl80211: Ignored unknown event (cmd=33)" with
"nl80211: Scan trigger" to make debug output clearer. We do not
currently do anything with this event apart from showing it in
the debug log.
This reverts commit 5aa9cb5cca.
The nested key attribute is using different attribute values
(NL80211_KEY_* vs. NL80211_ATTR_KEY_*), so cannot share the same routine
for these purposes..
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.
This is an initial step in adding support for the new connect command.
For now, we just add the capability query. The actual use of the new
command will be added separately.
Previously, both the command replies and unsolicited events were
received from the same socket. This could cause problems if an event
message is received between a command and the response to that command.
Using two sockets avoids this issue.
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.

hostapd currently tries to encrypt all auth frames,
except for "OPEN" and "SHARED with transaction 3".
This means that it will send an encrypted "unknown
auth algorithm" reply for all other algorithsm. Fix
this by changing the logic to only encrypt shared
key auth frames with transaction 3.

Change existing CONFIG_LIBNL20 compatibility code in
driver_nl80211.c to be used by both wpa_supplicant
and hostapd, but take care of nl_handle too now.
Propagate CONFIG_LIBNL20 out of .config file and onto
CFLAGS in the Makefile.
Use libnl-gen now too.

This adds a cleaner mechanism for protecting against unauthorized
data frames than the previously used drop_unencrypted mechanism
(which is not even available with nl80211 and had to use a WEXT
ioctl.
The old drop_unencrypted code is left in for now as the final
surviving WEXT use in driver_nl80211.c. However, it can be removed
from the build by defining NO_WEXT. It may also be removed
eventually when most users are expected to be using recent enough
kernel version.
For now, the old code using NL80211_ATTR_STA_FLAGS is left in for
backwards compatibility with older kernel versions. It may be removed
eventually when most users are expected to be running with new
enough kernel version.
This simplifies driver wrapper operations and removes last direct
struct hostapd_data dereferences from driver_nl80211.c. In addition,
some of the TX callbacks are now fixed for secondary BSSes.
This fixes deauth/disassoc frames in secondary BSSes when using
multi-BSSID. In addition, it reduces need to dereference
struct hostapd_data inside driver wrappers.
NO_WEXT can be defined to disable all remaining WEXT uses from
driver_nl80211.c. This breaks some functionality, so the code is still
in use by default. Anyway, the new #ifdef blocks make it easy to search
for areas that need to be converted to nl80211.
Instead of adding a new driver_ops for fetching neighbor BSS data (that
nl80211 driver interface had to scan during initialization), share the
same scan operations that wpa_supplicant is using. This gets rid of
duplicated scan code in driver_nl80211.c (and better yet, removes large
part of old WEXT code).
hostapd interface initialization is now completed in a callback, if
needed, i.e., he_features channel/hw_mode selection can use as much time
as needed. This can also help with radar detection in the future.
hostapd ended up with unregistered send_mlme() in commit
9f324b61ba. Fix this by registering the
handler both for wpa_supplicant-AP and hostapd use. [Bug 310]
Use a parameter structure to pass in information that can be more easily
extended in the future. Include some of the parameters that were
previously read directly from hapd->conf in order to reduce need for
including hostapd/config.h into driver wrappers.
This was not documented properly and was not really used nor would it be
suitable to be used in generic way as it was implemented. It is better
to just remove the parameter since there does not seem to be any
reasonable use for it.
nl80211 interface has a trivial bug that prevents it to work correctly
with channel 14. Channel frequency is erroneously 2848 instead of 2484.
To correct it just apply this patch. [Bug 308]
This merges the driver wrapper implementations to use the same
implementation both for hostapd and wpa_supplicant operations to avoid
code duplication.
This commit merges the driver_ops structures and implementations from
hostapd/driver*.[ch] into src/drivers. This is only an initial step and
there is room for number of cleanups to share code between the hostapd
and wpa_supplicant parts of the wrappers to avoid unnecessary source
code duplication.
Need to set WEP keys before requesting authentication in order to get
Shared Key authentication working. Previously, the WEP keys were not set
at all when using SME in wpa_supplicant.
mac80211 does not use this type of Michael MIC event, so this is not
really used and proper Michael MIC failure processing will be added
using an nl80211 event once that gets added into wireless-testing.git.
It looks like both new nl80211 operations (scan and auth/assoc) end up
being added in Linux 2.6.30, so we do not need to maintain the backwards
compatibility code in wpa_supplicant.
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
This version is adding the configuration option (mode=2) for this and
driver capability reporting to figure out whether AP mode can be used.
However, this does not actually implement any real functionality yet.
Need to set drv->ifindex before calling set_mode(). In addition, set the
mode before setting the interface up to avoid having to set it down
again.
Add more useful error message on mode changes.
All these driver handlers can be implemented in associate() handler
which gets all the needed information in the parameters structure. The
old functions that provided only a single parameter will be removed
eventually to clean up the driver_ops structure, so driver wrappers
should start using the newer mechanism.
This can be used, e.g., with mac80211-based Linux drivers with
nl80211. This allows over-the-air FT protocol to be used (IEEE
802.11r).
Since the nl80211 interface needed for this is very recent (added
today into wireless-testing.git), driver_nl80211.c has backwards
compatibility code that uses WEXT for association if the kernel does
not support the new commands. This compatibility code can be
disabled by defining NO_WEXT_COMPAT. That code will also be removed
at some point to clean up driver_nl80211.c.
These flags are used to mark which values (level, noise, qual) are
invalid (not available from the driver) and whether level is using dBm.
D-Bus interface will now only report the values that were available.
For example, -Dnl80211,wext could be used to automatically select
between nl80211 and wext. The first driver wrapper that is able to
initialize the interface will be used.
This workaround was needed with some drivers that used WEXT, but there
is no known nl80211-enabled driver that would need this, so lets get rid
of the extra delay.
The driver wrappers can now inform wpa_supplicant how many SSIDs can
be used in a single scan request (i.e., send multiple Probe Requests
per channel). This value is not yet used, but it can eventually be used
to allow a new scan command to specify multiple SSIDs to speed up
scan_ssid=1 operations. In addition, a warning could be printed if
scan_ssid=1 is used with a driver that does not support it
(max_scan_ssids=0).
