When the scan interval is changed the new interval is effective

Commit 1ff733383f added a mechanism to
work around issues due to association events and EAPOL RX events being
getting reordered. However, this applied only for the case where
wpa_supplicant is not in associated state. The same issue can happen in
roaming case with drivers that perform BSS selection internally (or in
firmware). Handle that case similarly by delaying received EAPOL frame
processing if the source address of the EAPOL frame does not match the
current BSSID.
Since wired IEEE 802.1X do not have BSSID, make this additional
workaround conditional on BSSID match having been observed during the
previous association.
This fixes issues where the initial EAPOL frame after reassociation was
either dropped (e.g., due to replay counter not increasing) or replied
to with incorrect destination address (the BSSID of the old AP). This
can result in significantly more robust roaming behavior with drivers
that do not use wpa_supplicant for BSS selection.

wpa_supplicant_{disassociate,deauthenticate}() need to inform the driver

the driver is still trying to complete association. During that time,
wpa_s->bssid is not set, so the code in these functions needs to figure

addition, it is possible that the BSSID is not even known at
wpa_supplicant at this point in time when using drivers that perform BSS
selection internally. In those cases, the disconnect command needs to be
sent to the driver without the BSSID.

autoscan will be able to tweak its interval. Otherwise, the tweaked

autoscan_params pointer in wpa_s will provide those. So req_scan /
req_sched_scan will not set the scan parameters as they usually do, but
instead will use this pointer.

wpa_driver_ops in the future. Being able to build driver_ndis.c
with MSVC was the only reason for having to maintain the same order
of function pointers in struct wpa_driver_ops and for having to
update driver_ndis.c for all changes in that structure.

This avoids allocating global driver state for driver wrappers that
are built in but not used. This can save some resources and avoids
failures with driver_nl80211.c that is now initializing netlink
connections for nl80211 in global_init().
This code was used only with driver_test.c to allow MLME operations
in hostapd to be tested without having to use a real radio. There
are no plans on extending this to any other use than testing and
mac80211_hwsim has now obsoled the need for this type of testing.
As such, we can drop this code from wpa_supplicant to clean up the
implementation of unnecessary complexity.
When initializing, the scheduled scan code was being called before
everything is ready. With normal scans, the first scan round is
delayed, so the initialization is finished by the time it really
starts.
Add a function that can be used to request a delayed scheduled scan.
The scan will only start after the specified time has elapsed. Call
this function instead of starting the scheduled scan directly during
driver initialization.

In new Linux kernel versions (>=3.0), nl80211 adds scheduled scan

to support it in the wpa_supplicant core, so that it can also be used
by other drivers.
This commit adds initial scheduled scan support operations and events.

This allows the AP to be selected based on the BSSID when WPA-PSK
is used with a passphrase. The PSK will be derived from the passphrase
after the SSID has been learned from scan results.
This implements GAS request mechanism that is aimed at being used to
replace use case specific GAS/ANQP implementations in the future.
Compared to the earlier implementation in P2P SD, this implementation
includes support for multiple concurrent requests and more thorough
validation of frames against the pending query data.
GAS header processing, including comeback and reassembly, are handled
within gas_query.c and the users of this module will only need to
provide the Query Request and process the (possibly reassembled)
Query Response.
There is no need to request periodic bgscans when the driver claims
to have capability for roaming within ESS. Ignoring the bgscan
configuration allows the same configuration file to be used both
with drivers the handle roaming and with drivers that don't.
If the driver indicates that it supports BSS selection (including
roaming within an ESS) with WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_BSS_SELECTION, modify
ap_scan=1 mode to behave like ap_scan=2 mode for BSS selection.
The initial scan is still done to avoid the need for strict
configuration of or security parameters (e.g., to figure out whether
TKIP or CCMP is being used as the group cipher). However, when
requesting the driver to connect, the bssid and freq parameters are
not provided to leave the driver in control of selecting which BSS
to use and to allow the driver to decide when to roam.
If a network configuration block is removed or modified, flush
all PMKSA cache entries that were created using that network
configuration. Similarly, invalidate EAP state (fast re-auth).
The special case for OKC on wpa_supplicant reconfiguration
(network_ctx pointer change) is now addressed as part of the
PMKSA cache flushing, so it does not need a separate mechanism
for clearing the network_ctx values in the PMKSA cache.
The previous code was trying to figure out which WPA version is
used based on the extra IEs requested for Association Request. That
did not work properly in cases where non-WPA networks are used with
some extra IEs. Fix this by using more robust mechanism for passing
the WPA versions from core wpa_supplicant to the driver_ops
associate().
Fix the previous code that was hardcoding the p2p parameter based
on the driver P2P capability regardless of whether the connection
was really used for P2P or not.
This makes sure that the old connection is not maintained if the new
configuration does not allow it anymore. In addition, it is better to
use wpa_supplicant_clear_connection() instead of just clearing
wpa_s->current_ssid here to keep things in sync.
There are some corner cases, where the wpa_supplicant_req_scan() call
may end up scheduling a scan even if we are about to start a GO. Avoid
this by explicitly marking the GO network to be selected for the next
connection.
This can be used to avoid rejection of first two 4-way handshakes every
time hostapd (or wpa_supplicant in AP/IBSS mode) is restarted. A new
command line parameter, -e, can now be used to specify an entropy file
that will be used to maintain the needed state.
It is now possible to configure the the time in seconds that
wpa_supplicant waits before requesting a new scan after failing to find
a suitable network in scan results.

Change the old design of running a single long living RSN IBSS

This fixes number of issues in getting keys set properly for

design.
Replace compile-time BSS cache expiration age and scan count by config
parameters that can be set via wpa_cli and the new D-Bus API. The latter
is done with interface properties BSSExpireAge and BSSExpireCount.
Move the code snippet to switch on bgscan over to wpa_supplicant.c
from event.c, so that it can be activated on wpa_supplicant_set_state().
Also create a centralized place to switch off bgscan. bgscan is now
turned on in COMPLETED, not ASSOCIATED.

This converts number of debugging messages to use wpa_msg() in order
to allow the interface name to be shown with the messages.
A new function, wpa_dbg(), is introduced to allow
CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG=y builds to remove the debug strings. This is
otherwise identical with wpa_msg(), but it gets compiled out if stdout
debugging is disabled.
This makes log files much more readable if multiple interfaces
are being controlled by the same process. The interface name is
added to stdout/file/syslog entries, but not to the messages
sent to control interface monitors to avoid issues with parsing
in external programs.

Previously, both NULL and ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff addr were used in various
places to indicate default/broadcast keys. Make this more consistent
and useful by defining NULL to mean default key (i.e., used both for
unicast and broadcast) and ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to indicate broadcast
key (i.e., used only with broadcast).
Use NULL instead of (u8 *) "" as the seq value and make sure the
driver wrapper implementations can handle NULL value. This was
previously already done in number of places, but not everywhere.
If a station received unprotected Deauthentication or Disassociation
frame with reason code 6 or 7 from the current AP, there may be a
mismatch in association state between the AP and STA. Verify whether
this is the case by using SA Query procedure. If not response is
received from the AP, deauthenticate.
This implementation is only for user space SME with
driver_nl80211.c.
Some drivers are not providing exactly reliable error codes (e.g.,
with WEXT), but others may actually indicate reliable information.
Allow driver wrappers to indicate if that is the case and use
optimizations if so. For now, this improves nl80211 with
NL80211_CMD_CONNECT for a case where connection request fails.
Move the previously SME specific optimization code into generic
function that can be used from non-SME code, too, and use it to
handle disconnection events. In other words, allow disconnection
event to trigger similar optimized scanning case to handle a
common load balancing mechanism. If there is another BSS in the
same ESS when we receive a disconnection event, scan only the
known frequencies of such other BSSes on the next attempt to
speed up recovery.
When authentication or association fails when trying to connect to
a BSS in an ESS that has multiple BSSes based on previous scans,
limit the first recovery scan to only the known channels that has
been seen previously. This speeds up recovery in some of the most
commonly used load balancing mechanisms in enterprise WLAN
networks.
wpa_supplicant_set_driver() is returning an error if the first driver
in the driver list is not built in. It should continue through the
driver list until it finds one that's built in.
If IEE8021X_EAPOL is not enabled in the config, wpa_drv_set_supp_port
must be called from the supplicant, otherwise port will not be
activated after association.
The ieee80211_sta_free_hw_features() function is now used outside
the MLME code, so better make sure it gets included in the build
to avoid leaking memory.
This is needed to be able to change parameters for dynamically
created interfaces between the creation of the interface and
association/start AP commands.
Following ctrl_interface commands can now be used:
P2P_SET client_apsd disable
- disable configuration (i.e., use driver default) in client mode
P2P_SET client_apsd <BE>,<BK>,<VI>,<VO>;<max SP Length>
- enable UASPD with specific trigger configuration (0/1) per AC
(max SP Length is currently ignored)
P2P_SET go_apsd disable
- disable configuration (i.e., use driver default) in AP mode
P2P_SET go_apsd <0/1>
- disable/enable APSD in AP mode
If enabled, cross connection allows GO to forward IPv4 packets
using masquerading NAT from the P2P clients in the group to an
uplink WLAN connection. This is disabled by default and can be
enabled with "wpa_cli p2p_set cross_connect 1" on the P2P device
interface.
While this is not strictly speaking required by the P2P specification
for a not-P2P Managed Device, this can provide useful information for
the P2P manager AP and may be needed to pass certification tests.
Some NDIS drivers require a workaround to allow them to associate
with a WPS AP that is already using protection (Privacy field = 1).
Let driver_ndis.c know if the AP is already using Privacy and if so,
configure a dummy WEP key to force the driver to associate.
Add a new wpa_supplicant state: interface disabled. This can be used
to allow wpa_supplicant to be running with the network interface even
when the driver does not actually allow any radio operations (e.g.,
due to rfkill).
Allow driver_nl80211.c and driver_wext.c to start while rfkill is in
blocked state (i.e., when ifconfig up fails) and process rfkill
events to block/unblock WLAN.
This allows wpa_supplicant to be started quickly with an empty
configuration. If an external program wants to fetch scan results
from wpa_supplicant, it will need to request a scan explicitly
in this type of case.
Scan only the frequency that was used during provisioning during the
first five scans for the connection. This speeds up connection in the
most likely case where the AP remains on the same channel. If the AP is
not found after these initial scans, all channels will be scanned.
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.
This sets the FT Capability and Policy field in the MDIE to the values
received from the target AP (if available). This fixes the MDIE contents
during FT Protocol, but the correct value may not yet be used in initial
mobility domain association.
The actual supplicant state is exposed via a property on the interface
object. So having a separate signal StateChanged for notifying about
changes is a bad idea. The standard PropertiesChanged signal should be
used for this.
The advantage of StateChanged signal was that it includes the previous
state, but not even NetworkManager is making use of this. And tracking
the old state via the property and this signal is easily possible anyway.
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.
This fits better in wpa_supplicant/scan.c. Couple of remaining
scan_helpers.c functions are currently used in driver wrappers,
but they can likely be removed in the future.
Get rid of wpa_supplicant_sta_rx() and add a new driver event that is
marked to be used only with driver_test.c. In addition, remove this
functionality from privsep wrapper. This is only use for client mode
MLME testing with driver_test.c.
Get more information about scans when updating BSS table information.
This allows the missing-from-scans expiration rule to work properly
when only partial set of channels or SSIDs are being scanned.
Do not try to unregister BSS objects twice (the latter one with invalid
path) and make sure all network objects get added and removed properly
(the ones read from configuration file were not being registered, but
were tried to be unregistered).
This will allow more cleanup to be done for scan results processing
since all code can now be made to depend on the BSS table instead of
the temporary scan results.
Once remaining code has been converted to use the BSS table, the new
scan results can be freed immediately after the BSS table has been
updated. In addition, filtering of BSS information should be added
to better support systems with limited resources. For now, memory
use can be limited by defining WPA_BSS_MAX_COUNT to be smaller.
Anyway, better filtering of results to only the configured networks
should be added to improve this.
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.
Instead of forcefully deinitializing ER immediately, give it some
time to complete unsubscription and call eloop_terminate() only once
ER code has completed its work.
When setting up an AP with wpa_supplicant, the initial connection was
not necessarily setting oper state from DORMANT to UP which would be
blocking normal data frames. Fix this by initializing new_connection
to 1 so that even the first change to COMPLETED state will end up
setting oper state.
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.
8a5ab9f5e5 fixed global driver context
for init2(), but it also broke driver initialization with driver
wrappers that do not use init2().. Fix this by setting wpa_s->global
before it gets dereferenced.
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.
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.
ssid could be NULL here at least based on the function documentation,
so better check whether that is the case prior to calling the
notification function.
New wpa_supplicant command line options -o<driver> and -O<ctrl> can
now be used to override the parameters received in add interface
command from dbus or global ctrl_interface. This can be used, e.g.,
to enable control interface when using NetworkManager (add
-O/var/run/wpa_supplicant into the Exec parameter in
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant.service).
Similarly, this can be used to use another driver wrapper with
NetworkManager (e.g., -onl80211 to replace WEXT with nl80211).
This patch completely separates supplicant's code from dbus.
It introduces three new notifications which copes with all
remaining dbus stuff.
wpas_notify_unregister_interface() was renamed to
wpas_notify_iface_removed().
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 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.
Convert wpa_supplicant_get_scan_results_old() to use the same return
style with the other get_scan_results options and clean up the code
by sharing the same scan result freeing and error checking code for
all the options.
Instead of implementing these separately in various control
interface handlers, use shared functions. These add some of the
previously missing notification calls, too, for the affected areas.
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.
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.
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.

When in AP mode, wpa_supplicant is now enabling WPS (only Internal
Registrar). wpa_cli wps_pbc and wps_pin commands can be used to initiate
WPS negotiation similarly to how this is done in station mode (though,
the BSSID parameter is ignored).
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.
wpa_supplicant can now initialize hostapd data structures when mode=2 is
used to set up an AP. The hostapd configuration is not yet set based on
wpa_supplicant network configuration block. In addition, the glue code
for hostapd driver_ops needs number of functions that will be needed for
AP functionality.
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.
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.
Do not use just the driver name for this since driver_ndis.c supports
both wired and wireless NDIS drivers and needs to indicate the driver
type after initialization.
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.
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).
If wpa_supplicant is started with -u but the DBus service is already
registered wpa_supplicant will bail out. However, it will segfault
in wpa_supplicant_deinit because global->drv_priv wasn't allocated
yet.

RSN IBSS uses authentication per-STA and that is initialized separately,
so there is no need to enable the per-BSS like authentication that is
used with APs.
This commit adds a new build option, CONFIG_IBSS_RSN=y, that can be used
to enable RSN support for IBSS. This links in RSN Authenticator code
from hostapd and adds code for managing per-peer information for IBSS. A
new wpa_cli command or driver event can be used to request RSN
authentication with an IBSS peer. New RSN Authenticator and Supplicant
will be allocated for each peer.
The basic state machine setup code is included in this commit, but the
state machines are not properly started yet. In addition, some of the
callback functions are not yet complete.
When using ap_scan=1, we know before the association request that MFP
will be supported, so we can as well require it. This helps mac80211 in
configuring whether to enable MFP.
It seems that for WPS registration we should use the same authentication
timeout as for ieee8021x, no? (See patch attached.) On slow platforms
public keys computation may take around 4-5 seconds (we actually stuck
on this issue).
Driver wrappers can now register global_init() and global_deinit()
driver_ops handlers to get a global data structure that can be shared
for all interfaces. This allows driver wrappers to initialize some
functionality (e.g., interface monitoring) before any interfaces have
been initialized.
Change association behavior to match with ap_scan=1 when WPS is used in
ap_scan=2 mode with wildcard SSID matching. In addition, allow hardcoded
BSSID to be used to select AP even if selected registrar attribute is
not present.
This adds support for setting of a regulatory domain to wpa_supplicant
drivers. It also adds regulatory domain setting for the nl80211 driver.
We expect an ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 in the wpa configuration file as a
global.
Previously, this was only done when the new connection is using
WPA-Personal. However, it looks like it was possible to trigger an
infinite busy loop if altAccept or altReject were left set to true and
an EAPOL frame is received (eapolEap is set to true). Clearing altAccept
and altReject for each association prevents this loop from happening in
the beginning of the next association.
The wps_context data is now managed at wpa_supplicant, not EAP-WSC. This
makes wpa_supplicant design for WPS match with hostapd one and also
makes it easier configure whatever parameters and callbacks are needed
for WPS.
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.
Find attached the patch that creates a new driver: roboswitch. This
driver adds support for wired authentication with a Broadcom
RoboSwitch chipset. For example it is now possible to do wired
authentication with a Linksys WRT54G router running OpenWRT.
LIMITATIONS
- At the moment the driver does not support the BCM5365 series (though
adding it requires just some register tweaks).
- The driver is also limited to Linux (this is a far more technical
restriction).
- In order to compile against a 2.4 series you need to edit
include/linux/mii.h and change all references to "u16" in "__u16". I
have submitted a patch upstream that will fix this in a future version
of the 2.4 kernel. [These modifications (and more) are now included in
the kernel source and can be found in versions 2.4.37-rc2 and up.]
USAGE
- Usage is similar to the wired driver. Choose the interfacename of
the vlan that contains your desired authentication port on the router.
This name must be formatted as <interface>.<vlan>, which is the
default on all systems I know.
A bug just got reported as a result of this for mac80211 drivers.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459399
The basic problem is that since taking the device down clears the keys
from the driver on many mac80211-based cards, and since the mode gets
set _after_ the keys have been set in the driver, the keys get cleared
on a mode switch and the resulting association is wrong. The report is
about ad-hoc mode specifically, but this could happen when switching
from adhoc back to managed mode.
IEEE 802.11w/D6.0 defines new AKMPs to indicate SHA256-based algorithms for
key derivation (and AES-CMAC for EAPOL-Key MIC). Add support for using new
AKMPs and clean up AKMP processing with helper functions in defs.h.
This adds most of the new frame format and identifier definitions from IEEE
802.11w/D6.0. In addition, the RSN IE capability field values for MFP is
replaced with the new two-bit version with MFPC (capable) and MFPR
(required) processing.
Depending on how the driver implements IBSS searching and creation, it
may need to perform one or more scans before successfully completing the
association operation. Therefore, increase the timeout for IBSS
association operations so that the supplicant doesn't interrupt the
driver as much.
