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.
The separate header file is not needed since none of the driver wrappers
include it anymore. Move the WLAN_STA_* definitions back to be together
with struct sta_info definition.
Instead of getting this via hostapd.h, include it as the first
non-system header file in all source code files in the same way as
used in all other files.
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.
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.
The actual pointer to struct sta_info was not really used and it is
enough to use a single bit to indicate whether an AID is allocated. This
makes the BSS data take less memory while making the allocation routine
faster and removing the arbitrary MAX_AID_TABLE_SIZE limit of 128 STAs.
The inactivity poll was originally supposed to use Data::Nullfunc, but
due to Prism2/2.5/3 firmware issues, this was changed to an empty
Data::Data frame. mac80211 does not have such an issue, so change the
inactivity poll frame to be Data::Nullfunc by default and use the
Data::Data workaround only with Host AP driver.
driver.h contains the definitions needed in driver wrapper
implementations (driver_*.c) and driver_i.h contains the definitions
that are used in core hostapd code to interact with the driver wrappers.
This commit changes just the name and Action category per D7.0. The
retransmit/timeout processing in the AP is not yet updated with the
changes in D7.0.
WPS IE is now passed from hostapd association processing into EAP-WSC
and WPS processing. Request Type attribute is parsed from this
information and if the request is for a WLAN Manager Registrar,
additional management keys are derived (to be used with UPnP).
Move the use of 802.11 header protocol field into driver_hostap.c since
this is a Host AP driver specific mechanism and other driver wrappers
should not really need to know about it.
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 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).
