This code can be shared by both hostapd and wpa_supplicant and this
is an initial step in getting the generic code moved to be under the
src directories. Couple of generic files still remain under the
hostapd directory due to direct dependencies to files there. Once the
dependencies have been removed, they will also be moved to the src/ap
directory to allow wpa_supplicant to be built without requiring anything
from the hostapd directory.
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.
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.
The WMM STA flag is already taken care of by handle_assoc_cb() and there
is no point trying to do this unless hostapd is taking care MLME
processing, so no need to call this from drv_callbacks.c.
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.
When using drivers that process management frames internally (e.g.,
madwifi, atheros, bsd), the driver may accept association with IEs
that do not match the security policy. Instead of silently leaving
the station associated, explicitly disassociate it to clear the
driver entry immediately.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Need to set WLAN_STA_WPS and WLAN_STA_MAYBE_WPS flags even if WPA is not
enabled. This allows open and static WEP modes to initiate WPS
negotiation with madwifi-like drivers.
