Some NDIS drivers require a workaround to allow them to associate
with a WPS AP that is already using protection (Privacy field = 1).
Let driver_ndis.c know if the AP is already using Privacy and if so,
configure a dummy WEP key to force the driver to associate.
Add a new wpa_supplicant state: interface disabled. This can be used
to allow wpa_supplicant to be running with the network interface even
when the driver does not actually allow any radio operations (e.g.,
due to rfkill).
Allow driver_nl80211.c and driver_wext.c to start while rfkill is in
blocked state (i.e., when ifconfig up fails) and process rfkill
events to block/unblock WLAN.
This adds more details into the CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED event to
make it easier to figure out which network was disconnected in some
race conditions and to what could have been the reason for
disconnection. The reason code is currently only available with
the nl80211 driver wrapper.
There is no absolute requirement for separating address allocation
into separate functions, so simplify the driver wrapper interface
to use just if_add and if_remove instead of adding the new
alloc_interface_addr() and release_interface_addr() functions.
if_add() can now indicate if the driver forced a different interface
name or address on the virtual interface.
This can be used to test 802.11w by sending a protected or unprotected
deauth/disassoc frame.
hostapd_cli deauth <dst addr> test=<0/1>
hostapd_cli disassoc <dst addr> test=<0/1>
test=0: unprotected
test=1: protected
This patch allows the nl80211 driver to create its own per-bss context
and pass it to the drv_priv pointer of the hostapd bss state.
With this and the following patch, stations can associate to and switch
between multiple BSS interfaces of a single wiphy.
This obsoletes a few instances of passing ifname to a callback, those
can be removed in a separate patch.
It might also be useful to move more fields from the driver data to the
per-bss data structure in the future.
filter_ssids=1 global configuration parameter can now be used to
enable scan result filtering (with -Dnl80211 only for now) based on
the configured SSIDs. In other words, only the scan results that have
an SSID matching with one of the configured networks are included in the
BSS table. This can be used to reduce memory needs in environments that
have huge number of APs.
wpa_supplicant can now be notified of suspend/resume events, e.g.,
from pm-action scripts. This allows wpa_supplicant to clear information
that may become invalid during a suspend operation.
Some drivers may need to use a specific ifname for the virtual
interface, so allow them to do this with a new parameter passed
to the alloc_interface_addr() handler.
This allows the driver wrappers to return two sets of IEs, so that
the BSS code can use information from both Beacon and Probe Response
frames if needed. For example, some Cisco APs seem to include more
information in Wireless Provisioning Services IE when it is in the
Beacon frame.
The three existing enums were already depending on using the same
values in couple of places and it is just simpler to standardize on
one of these to avoid need for mapping between different enums for
the exact same thing.
Most of this file was already moved into wpa_supplicant/scan.c and
we can remove the file completely by having couple of small helper
functions copied to the remaining users outside core wpa_supplicant
code.
This fits better in wpa_supplicant/scan.c. Couple of remaining
scan_helpers.c functions are currently used in driver wrappers,
but they can likely be removed in the future.
This adds new commands and events for allowing off-channel Action
frame exchanges to be requested. This functionality is not yet used
and is only fully supported by driver_test.c at this point.
driver_nl80211.c has support for the remain-on-channel commands, but
the Action frame TX/RX part is still pending review for the kernel
code and as such, is not yet included here.
This adds placeholder code for allowing the virtual interfaces to be
pre-allocated a MAC address before the interface type is known with
drivers that do not handle interface type changes.
Get rid of wpa_supplicant_sta_rx() and add a new driver event that is
marked to be used only with driver_test.c. In addition, remove this
functionality from privsep wrapper. This is only use for client mode
MLME testing with driver_test.c.
Get more information about scans when updating BSS table information.
This allows the missing-from-scans expiration rule to work properly
when only partial set of channels or SSIDs are being scanned.
set_ap_wps_ie() is not used to set WPS IE for both Beacon and Probe
Response frames with a single call. In addition, struct wpabuf is used
instead of separate u8* and length fields. This avoids duplicated
allocation of the IEs and simplifies code in general.
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.
Replace driver wrapper calls to hostapd_tx_status(),
hostapd_rx_from_unknown_sta(), hostapd_mgmt_rx(), and
hostapd_mgmt_tx_cb() with new generic driver events
EVENT_TX_STATUS, EVENT_RX_FROM_UNKNOWN, and EVENT_RX_MGMT.
This cleans up lot of the driver wrapper code to be less dependent
on whether it is being used within wpa_supplicant AP mode or hostapd.
This remove the need from driver_test.c to go through internal hostapd
structures to find the appropriate BSS when reporting events on secondary
BSSes.
This removes need for including hostapd/sta_flags.h into driver
wrappers and removes any remaining dependencies between driver flags
and internal hostapd flags.
IEEE 802.11w uses distinct key indexes (4 and 5) so the same
get_seqnum() handler can be used to fetch packet number for both
TKIP/CCMP and BIP(using IGTK).
Since the new get_seqnum_igtk() handler was not actually implemented by
any driver wrapper, this may also fix BIP/IGTK sequence number reporting
with driver_nl80211.c.
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.
In addition to the bitrate, the only other variable in this structure
is used internally in hostapd. Move this structure into hostapd.h and
make the driver API use simpler data structure (array of bitrates).
These are not really used and can be removed to clean up the driver
interface definition. The only remaining flag (HOSTAPD_RATE_BASIC) can
be removed once the basic rate set indication can be handled
differently.
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.
Print what the kernel believes the current BSS status (authenticated
or associated) is in scan results. In addition, check whether this
matches with the state that wpa_supplicant believes the driver to be
in.
This does not change the actual behavior, but will provide information
that will help in debugging potential issues where cfg80211/mac80211
seems to get into a different state from wpa_supplicant. In addition,
this provides an easy location for a workaround that could be added to
clear cfg80211/mac80211 state for unknown BSSes.
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.
Instead of using hardcoded maximum A-MPDU length of 64 kB and no
restrictions on minimum MPDU Start Spacing, use the correct values
reported by the driver.
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.
Current wpa_supplicant has a bug with WEP keys, it adds a zero-length
sequence counter field to netlink which the kernel doesn't accept.
Additionally, the kernel API slightly changed to accept keys only when
connected, so we need to send it the keys after that. For that to work
with shared key authentication, we also include the default WEP TX key
in the authentication command.
To upload the keys properly _after_ associating, add a new flag
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_SET_KEYS_AFTER_ASSOC_DONE indicating that the driver
needs the keys at that point and not earlier.
The driver wrappers should not need to include wps_hostapd.h, so let's
make this easier by introducing a driver callback for reporting 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.
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.
This simplifies driver wrapper operations and removes last direct
struct hostapd_data dereferences from driver_nl80211.c. In addition,
some of the TX callbacks are now fixed for secondary BSSes.
This fixes deauth/disassoc frames in secondary BSSes when using
multi-BSSID. In addition, it reduces need to dereference
struct hostapd_data inside driver wrappers.
