bbb921daaa Maintain internal entropy pool for augmenting random number generation
By default, make hostapd and wpa_supplicant maintain an internal
entropy pool that is fed with following information:

hostapd:
- Probe Request frames (timing, RSSI)
- Association events (timing)
- SNonce from Supplicants

wpa_supplicant:
- Scan results (timing, signal/noise)
- Association events (timing)

The internal pool is used to augment the random numbers generated
with the OS mechanism (os_get_random()). While the internal
implementation is not expected to be very strong due to limited
amount of generic (non-platform specific) information to feed the
pool, this may strengthen key derivation on some devices that are
not configured to provide strong random numbers through
os_get_random() (e.g., /dev/urandom on Linux/BSD).

This new mechanism is not supposed to replace proper OS provided
random number generation mechanism. The OS mechanism needs to be
initialized properly (e.g., hw random number generator,
maintaining entropy pool over reboots, etc.) for any of the
security assumptions to hold.

If the os_get_random() is known to provide strong ramdom data (e.g., on
Linux/BSD, the board in question is known to have reliable source of
random data from /dev/urandom), the internal hostapd random pool can be
disabled. This will save some in binary size and CPU use. However, this
should only be considered for builds that are known to be used on
devices that meet the requirements described above. The internal pool
is disabled by adding CONFIG_NO_RANDOM_POOL=y to the .config file.

aee680e8b2 wpa_cli: Add internal line edit implementation
CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal
implementation of line editing and history support. This can be used
as a replacement for CONFIG_READLINE=y.

ce4f7fdbdd dbus: Get rid of libxml2 dependency with introspection
The XML used in D-Bus introspection is simple and there is no need to use
libxml2 to generate it. This gets rid of the dependency on the large
library by using internal XML generation.

34359a3fb1 Include BSS table unconditionally in the wpa_supplicant build
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.

83922c2d34 Add BSS table to track scan results without dropping information
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.

50b5bf4eda Remove obsolete Prism54.org driver support (driver_prism54.c)
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.

e90bba4c59 Add cleared deprecation notes on iwl,ndiswrapper,madwifi(sta) wrappers
These driver wrappers should not be used anymore; WEXT should be used
instead. However, there may still be users stuck on older kernel versions
that may require driver specific wrappers, so the source code still
remains in the repository.

8fc2fb56e4 wpa_supplicant: new DBus API implementation
This patch implements the new DBus API. Both, the new and the
previous API may work concurrently and may be turned on or off
separately in .config file.
Some features of the new API are:
 - more wpa_supplicant's events are signaled with DBus signals,
 - introspection data (requires libxml2 and may be disabled),
 - CurrentBSS and CurrentNetwork properties,
 - PropertyChanged signal for most of properties,
 - Relatively easy to extend.
.config options for the new API are: CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS_NEW=y and
CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE_DBUS_INTRO=y for introspection.

This commit misses couple of parts from the full implementation
(these are still under review):
- fetching all configuration parameters for learning WPS information
- scan result BSS add/remove notification (register_bss() and
  unregister_bss() notification callbacks)

421b4ba50a Add CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211 and clarify client MLME limitations
This is based on a patch from Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, but with
the WIRELESS_DEV part removed instead of moved since it does not apply
anymore. Additional note on client MLME limitations was also added.

e7e9c46e55 Use better examples for MadWifi path in defconfig, clarify comments
MadWifi is unlikely to be in ../head relative to hostapd or
wpa_supplicant, as it would be inside the hostap git repository.
MadWifi sources are more likely to be in a directory called "madwifi"
and residing outside the hostap repository.  Using "madwifi" also
demonstrates that the top-level madwifi directory is needed.

ad08c3633c Added preliminary Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) implementation
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.

e519314ee9 Add RoboSwitch driver interface for wpa_supplicant
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.

cd35db9fef Updated userspace MLME instructions for current mac80211
Remove the old code from driver_wext.c since the private ioctl interface is
never going to be used with mac80211. driver_nl80211.c has an
implementation than can be used with mac80211 (with two external patches to
enable userspace MLME configuration are still required, though).

46690a3b9b Added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against TKIP by
delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time between 0 and
60 seconds if multiple Michael MIC failures are detected with the same PTK
(i.e., the Authenticator does not rekey PTK on first failure report). This
is disabled by default and can be enabled with a build option
CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config.

This may help in making a chopchop attack take much longer time by forcing
the attacker to wait 60 seconds before knowing whether a modified frame
resulted in a MIC failure.

187bc466a3 Removed the 20% estimate on faster bignum routines
This was not accurate since this was mostly based on total runtime of an
eapol_test run. The real improvement in the bignum routines is much larger
(mayby twice as fast as before).
