if_add/if_remove can now be used as the generic driver ops for adding
and removing virtual interfaces of various types. In addition,
driver_nl80211.c is now including this code unconditionally, so that
the functions are not limited only for hostapd.
This is an initial step in further cleaning up the EAPOL authenticator
use to avoid requiring direct accesses to the internal data structures.
For now, number of external files are still including the internal
definitions from eapol_auth_sm_i.h, but eventually, these direct
references should be removed.
In addition, start ordering header file includes to be in more
consistent order: system header files, src/utils, src/*, same
directory as the *.c file.
This removes the hardcoded definition from Makefile and cleans up
source code by moving the mail HOSTAPD_DUMP_STATE blocks into separate
files to avoid conditional compilation within files.
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 makes it clearer which files are including header from src/common.
Some of these cases should probably be cleaned up in the future not to
do that.
In addition, src/common/nl80211_copy.h and wireless_copy.h were moved
into src/drivers since they are only used by driver wrappers and do not
need to live in src/common.
This gets rid of previously deprecated driver_ops handlers set_wpa,
set_drop_unencrypted, set_auth_alg, set_mode. The same functionality
can be achieved by using the init/deinit/associate handlers.
Clean up driver interface by merging hostapd and wpa_supplicant
specific set_beacon driver_ops into a single one. In addition,
merge set_beacon_int into to the same operation.
Instead of calling specific Probe Request handler functions, use a
generic mechanism that allows multiple callback functions to be
registered for getting notification on receive Probe Request frames.
None of the driver wrappers user this. hostapd-controlled broadcast SSID
hiding can only be used with drivers that use hostapd for handling
Beacon and Probe Request/Response frames.
None of the driver wrappers use this. Only the drivers that use hostapd
for Beacon and Probe Request/Response handling can now use IEEE 802.11d
properly.
Instead of adding a new driver_ops for fetching neighbor BSS data (that
nl80211 driver interface had to scan during initialization), share the
same scan operations that wpa_supplicant is using. This gets rid of
duplicated scan code in driver_nl80211.c (and better yet, removes large
part of old WEXT code).
hostapd interface initialization is now completed in a callback, if
needed, i.e., he_features channel/hw_mode selection can use as much time
as needed. This can also help with radar detection in the future.
Use a parameter structure to pass in information that can be more easily
extended in the future. Include some of the parameters that were
previously read directly from hapd->conf in order to reduce need for
including hostapd/config.h into driver wrappers.
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.
Static WEP keys were configured only for the first BSS. In addition,
STAs were flushed only for the first BSS. These operations should be in
hostapd_setup_bss(), not setup_interface().
Remove extra call to ieee802_11_set_beacon() for the first BSS. This
should only be done from hostapd_setup_bss(), i.e., once for each BSS.
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 is needed to make mac80211 work with multi-BSS configuration. The
previous design ended up setting DTIM period for secondary BSSes before
setting the Beacon and driver_nl80211.c was not really prepared for
that. Eventually, the Beacon configuration routines should be combined
into a single driver operation, but for now, just moving this call is
the simplest workaround.
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.
This cleans up the driver wrapper interface by getting rid of sta_info.h
dependency in all drivers that use MLME implementation in hostapd
(driver_hostap.c and driver_nl80211.c).
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.
