349493bd0c Validate WEP key lengths based on driver capabilities
The nl80211 driver interface does not allow 128-bit WEP to be used
without a vendor specific cipher suite and no such suite is defined for
this purpose. Do not accept WEP key length 16 for nl80211 driver
interface forn ow. wext-interface can still try to use these for

3c29244eb7 P2P: Add deinit_p2p_cli op to clear P2P client driver state
On P2P group removal, the GO is deinitialized correctly (and the vif
mode is set back to sta in case of nl80211), but the P2P client mode
wasn't deinitialized, and the nl80211 vif stays in P2P client mode.

Add a new deinit_p2p_cli op (similar to deinit_ap), which currently only
sets the interface back to station mode.

baf513d695 Pass signal strength through, fix units
The signal strength is currently never used as the only driver reporting
it is nl80211 which uses IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DB_ANTSIGNAL which is never
populated by the kernel. The kernel will (soon) populate
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DBM_ANTSIGNAL instead though, so use that.

Also, since it was never really populated, we can redefine the signal
field to be in dBm units only.

My next patch will also require knowing the signal strength of probe
requests throughout the code (where available), so add it to the
necessary APIs.

a0133ee1c9 nl80211: Make use of driver's capability to detect inactive stations
When drivers advertise their capability to free up inactive
stations based on ap_max_inactivity, send the inactivity period
timeout to driver in NL80211_ATTR_INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT. This
introduces a WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_INACTIVITY_TIMER)
so that the inactivity period will be sent only when this capability
bit is set.

MCS Rates can be disabled to force to slower speeds when using HT.
Rates cannot be forced higher.

HT can be disabled, forcing an 802.11a/b/g/n station to act like

A-MPDU Factor and A-MPDU Density can be modified.

Please note that these are suggestions to the kernel. Only mac80211
drivers will work at all. The A-MPDU Factor can only be decreased and
the A-MPDU Density can only be increased currently.

3d9975d5b0 Do not trigger fast reconnection on locally generated deauth/disassoc
The deauthentication and disassociation events from nl80211 were being
processed identically regardless of whether the frame was generated by
the local STA or the AP. This resulted in fast reconnection mechanism
getting triggered even in the case where the disconnection was detected
locally (e.g., due to beacon loss) while this was supposed to happen
only in the case where the AP is sending an explicit Deauthentication
or Disassociation frame with a specific reason code.

Fix this by adding a new deauth/disassoc event variable to indicate
whether the event was generated locally.
