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.

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.

When the driver (or firmware) implements AP mode SME, the use of raw
management frame TX functions is not working properly at the moment. As
an initial step, convert these AP mode operations to use
NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION and do not claim that driver provides TX status
for deauth/disassoc frames. While this does not address all use cases
(e.g., reason code is not specified in the command), this fixes number
of issues where the station does not get disconnected properly.

It looks like a RTM_NEWLINK event claiming the interface to be UP is
delivered just before removing an interface after having first indicated
that the interface was going down/removed. Ignore this event if the
interface is not present anymore at the moment the event is processed.
This fixes issues where an interface that was re-added after being
removed did not get reconfigured properly.

In multiple BSSes scenario for the drivers that do not use

Commit e4fb216769 moved frequency
storage from driver struct to bss struct and is assigned in
wpa_driver_nl80211_set_freq. As this wpa_driver_nl80211_set_freq is
triggered only on the first_bss, bss->freq for other BSSes is never
being set to the correct value. This sends MLME frames on frequency zero
(initialized value of freq) for BSSes other than the first.
To fix this derive frequency value from first_bss.

A P2P Action frame may need to be sent on another channel than the GO's
operating channel. This information was lost in
wpa_driver_nl80211_send_action() in the case the interface was in AP
mode. Pass the frequence and related parameters to send_mlme mechanism
to allow the correct frequence to be used with the send frame command in
AP (P2P GO) mode.

The cookie value needs to be fetched in GO mode, too, to be able to
indicate TX status callbacks with drivers that handle AP mode SME
functionality internally. This fixes issues with client discoverability
where TX status callback for GO Discoverability Request is needed to
trigger the GO to send Device Discoverability Response.
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.

The offchanok parameter is hardcoded to one in number of paths and that
added NL80211_ATTR_OFFCHANNEL_TX_OK attribute to NL80211_CMD_FRAME
unconditional. cfg80211 rejects this with EINVAL if the driver does not
indicate support for offchannel TX. Fix this by not requesting
offchannel TX depending on driver capabilities. Remain-on-channel
operation was used for those cases anyway, so the additional attribute
was not really needed for these in the first place.

When nl80211_setup_ap() has enabled Probe Request reporting, this must
not be disabled when P2P Listen state is stopped to avoid breaking AP
mode operations. This could happen, e.g., if a Probe Request frame was
received from a P2P device that the we are trying to invite to our group
(i.e., when operating in GO role). p2p_probe_req_rx() calls
p2p_invite_start() in this case and that ends up calling
p2p->cfg->stop_listen() which calls probe_req_report() driver op.

When running AP mode, we need to receive beacons over overlapping BSSes

These events are necessary to send deauth frames to

them on the per-BSS event socket.
Signed-hostap: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
To achieve this, multiple things are needed:
1) since hostapd needs to handle *all* action frames,
make the normal registration only when in a non-AP
mode, to be able to do this use the new socket
2) store the frequency in each BSS to be able to give
the right frequency to nl80211's mgmt-tx operation
3) make TX status processing reject non-matched cookie
only in non-AP mode
The whole thing depends on having station-poll support
in the kernel. That's currently a good indicator since
the kernel patches are added together.

When using authentication retry within driver_nl80211.c, a failure on the

for the target BSS is not available. This can happen if the cfg80211

To recover from this quickly, run a single channel scan to get the
cfg80211 entry back and then retry authentication command again. This
is handled within driver_nl80211.c to keep the core wpa_supplicant
implementation cleaner.
