This allows per-device PSK to be configured for WPA-Personal using a
RADIUS authentication server. This uses RADIUS-based MAC address ACL
(macaddr_acl=2), i.e., Access-Request uses the MAC address of the
station as the User-Name and User-Password. The WPA passphrase is
returned in Tunnel-Password attribute in Access-Accept. This
functionality can be enabled with the new hostapd.conf parameter,
wpa_psk_radius.

A new hostapd.conf parameter, wps_rf_bands, can now be used to fix the
RF Bands value in cases where hw_mode is not set or when operating a
dual band dual concurrent AP.

A new hostapd configuration parameter, disable_pmksa_caching=1, can now
be used to disable PMKSA caching on the Authenticator. This forces the
stations to complete EAP authentication on every association when WPA2
is being used.
Windows 7 uses incorrect way of figuring out AP's WPS capabilities by
acting as a Registrar and using M1 from the AP. The config methods
attribute in that message is supposed to indicate only the configuration
method supported by the AP in Enrollee role, i.e., to add an external
Registrar. For that case, PBC shall not be used and as such, the
PushButton config method is removed from M1 by default. If pbc_in_m1=1
is included in the configuration file, the PushButton config method is
left in M1 (if included in config_methods parameter) to allow Windows 7
to use PBC instead of PIN (e.g., from a label in the AP).
If WMM is not disabled explicitly (wmm_enabled=0 in hostapd.conf),
enable WMM automatically whenever HT (ieee80211n) is enabled. Use
the default WMM parameters for AP TX queues and the EDCA parameters
advertised for stations in WMM IE if no overriding values are
included in the configuration.
tdls_prohibit=1 and tdls_prohibit_chan_switch=1 and now be used to
disable use of TDLS or TDLS channel switching in the BSS using
extended cabilities IE as defined in IEEE 802.11z.
The nl80211 driver can report low ACK condition (in fact it reports
complete loss right now only). Use that, along with a config option, to
disconnect stations when the data connection is not working properly,
e.g., due to the STA having went outside the range of the AP. This is
disabled by default and can be enabled with disassoc_low_ack=1 in
hostapd or wpa_supplicant configuration file.

These are not used by any driver wrapper, i.e., only the four
data queues (BK, BE, VI, VO) are configurable. Better remove these
so that there is no confusion about being able to configure
something additional.
A new hostapd_cli command, wps_ap_pin, can now be used to manage
AP PIN at runtime. This can be used to generate a random AP PIN and
to only enable the AP PIN for short period (e.g., based on user
action on the AP device). Use of random AP PIN that is only enabled
for short duration is highly recommended to avoid security issues
with a static AP PIN.
hostapd does not implement UAPSD functionality. However, if U-APSD
functionality is implemented outside hostapd, add support to advertise
the functionality in beacon.

This makes the bridge parameter unnecessary for cases where the interface
is already in a bridge and sysfs is mounted to /sys so that the detection
code works.
For nl80211, the bridge parameter can be used to request the AP
interface to be added to the bridge automatically (brctl may refuse to
do this before hostapd has been started to change the interface mode).
If needed, the bridge interface is also created.
This mode allows associated stations to use 4-address frames to allow
layer 2 bridging to be used. At least for the time being, this is only
supported with driver=nl80211.
This adds config_methods configuration option for wpa_supplicant
following the design used in hostapd. In addition, the string is
now parsed in common code from src/wps/wps_common.c and the list
of configurable methods include all the defined methods from
WPS 1.0h spec.
The Prism54.org project seems have been dead for a while and it does not
look like this driver would ever be maintained again. Furthermore, it is
difficult to find a version that would work with the driver_prism54.c
wrapper and there is another driver for these card in the Linux kernel
tree.
The hostapd integration in driver_prism54.c is quite different from the
other driver wrappers and would require major effort to get it cleaned
up. Since there does not seem to be any real users for the cleaned up
version, there does not seem to be justification to spend this effort on
the wrapper. This old code is making it much more difficult to clean up
the driver interface and at this point, the best option seems to be to
remove the driver wrappers. Should someone really still need this, the
old code will continue to be available in hostapd 0.6.x.
There was code for configuring this, but no driver wrapper actually
implements the actual setting. Remove this for now to reduce potential
confusion and to simply the driver interface.
This was not really supported by any of the included driver wrappers. If
this functionality is desired in the future, this (or something similar)
can be added with the changes needed into a driver wrapper to use the
mechanism.
If every secondary BSS is configured with a pre-set BSSID, hostapd does
not enforce the BSSID mask requirements anymore, i.e., they are used
only if hostapd is responsible for generating MAC addresses for virtual
interfaces.
This updates the terminogy to match with the final WMM specification. In
addition, some of the WMM TSPEC structure fields were in incorrect order
and used without byte order swapping. Those are also taken care of this
cleanup patch.
Try to match PRI/SEC channel with neighboring 20/40 MHz BSSes per
IEEE 802.11n/D7.0 11.14.3.2. This is not yet complete implementation,
but at least some parts of the 40 MHz coex are improved.
40 MHz operation maybe rejected (i.e., fall back to using 20 MHz) or
pri/sec channels may be switched if needed.
This adds mostly feature complete external Registrar support with the
main missing part being proper support for multiple external Registrars
working at the same time and processing of concurrent registrations when
using an external Registrar.
This code is based on Sony/Saice implementation
(https://www.saice-wpsnfc.bz/) and the changes made by Ted Merrill
(Atheros) to make it more suitable for hostapd design and embedded
systems. Some of the UPnP code is based on Intel's libupnp. Copyrights
and licensing are explained in src/wps/wps_upnp.c in more detail.
If a Registrar tries to configure the AP, but fails to validate the
device password (AP PIN), lock the AP setup after four failures. This
protects the AP PIN against brute force guessing attacks.
This optional configuration parameter can be used to override AP
Settings attributes in M7 similarly to extra_cred option for Credential
attribute(s) in M8.
This operation can now be moved into an external program by configuring
hostapd with wps_cred_processing=1 and skip_cred_build=1. A new
ctrl_iface message (WPS-REG-SUCCESS <Enrollee MAC addr> <UUID-E>) will
be used to notify external programs of each successful registration and
that can be used as a tricker to move from unconfigured to configured
state.
This behaves like the one in wpa_supplicant, i.e., hostapd can be
configured not to process new credentials (AP settings) internally and
instead pass the WPS attributes for an external program to process over
ctrl_iface.
Generate a SHA1 hash -based UUID from the local MAC address if the UUID
was not configured. This makes it easier to prepare for WPS since there
is no need to generate an UUID.
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.
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 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.
Added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against TKIP
deficiencies. This can be set either by the Authenticator (to initiate
periodic 4-way handshake to rekey PTK) or by the Supplicant (to request
Authenticator to rekey PTK).
With both wpa_ptk_rekey and wpa_group_rekey (in hostapd) set to 600, TKIP
keys will not be used for more than 10 minutes which may make some attacks
against TKIP more difficult to implement.
Changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string.
eap_fast_prov config parameter can now be used to enable/disable different
EAP-FAST provisioning modes:
0 = provisioning disabled
1 = only anonymous provisioning allowed
2 = only authenticated provisioning allowed
3 = both provisioning modes allowed
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 updates management frame protection to use the assocition ping process
from the latest draft (D6.0) to protect against unauthenticated
authenticate or (re)associate frames dropping association.
This allows the accept_mac_file to be used as an alternative for RADIUS
server-based configuration. This is mainly to ease VLAN testing (i.e., no
need to set up RADIUS server for this anymore).
This commit brings in cleaned up version of IEEE 802.11n implementation
from Intel (1). The Intel tarball includes number of other changes, too,
and only the changes specific to IEEE 802.11n are brought in here. In
addition, this does not include all the changes (e.g., some of the
configuration parameters are still missing and driver wrapper changes for
mac80211 were not included).

This allows associations to be denied if the STA tries to use too large
listen interval. The default value is 65535 which matches with the field
size limits.
