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.
This patch allows wpa_supplicant to compile on Debian's kfreebsd
architectures.
Patch by Stefan Lippers-Hollmann based on work done by Petr Salinger
and Emmanuel Bouthenot for 0.6.X (http://bugs.debian.org/480572).
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.
The kernel side support for this was just added into
wireless-testing.git. This commit adds the driver wrapper code needed
to allow wpa_supplicant to use the new functionality.
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 patch aggregates ioctls.
First is SIOCS80211. The SIOCS80211's arguments has 3 couples.
1-1. i_len, i_data
1-2. i_val
1-3. i_len, i_data, i_val (currently only IEEE80211_IOC_APPIE)
There were 3 routines for each cases. This patch aggregates these to
one.
Second is SIOCG80211. The SIOCG80211 returns 2 type of value.
2-1. i_len
2-2. i_val
There were 2 routines for each cases. This patch aggregates these to
one.
I have tested on both FreeBSD 8.0 and NetBSD 5.0.1 with these cases.
[hostapd]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
[wpa_supplicant(STA)]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
[wpa_supplicant(AP)]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
This patch enables FreeBSD channel control.
I have tested on FreeBSD 7.2 with these cases.
[hostapd]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
[wpa_supplicant(STA)]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
[wpa_supplicant(AP)]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
The attached patch unifies hostapd wpa_driver_bsd_ops and
wpa_supplicant wpa_driver_bsd_ops.
I have tested on NetBSD 5.0.1 with these cases.
[hostapd]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
[wpa_supplicant(STA)]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
[wpa_supplicant(AP)]
RSN-PSK(CCMP)/WPA-PSK(TKIP)
This patch modifies field name of struct bsd_driver_data to use
same name of struct wpa_driver_bsd_data. This is a preparation of
unifying struct bsd_driver_data and struct wpa_driver_bsd_data.
The bsd_send_eapol() adds Ethernet header by itself. This patch changes it
to use l2_packet functionality.
I have tested on NetBSD 5.0.1 with WPA-PSK(TKIP).
On NetBSD, we should configure some parameters manually out of hostapd
like below.
ifconfig ath0 mediaopt hostap
ifconfig ath0 mode 11g
ifconfig ath0 chan 6
This patch does these automatically. Maybe there will be some
objections, like "hardware configuration is not hostapd/wpa_supplican's
work". So I will write the reasons why I made this patch.
1. For usability.
2. The first command fails when previous state is adhoc. This patch is
free from previous state.
3. Some driver wrappers configure these automatically (like nl80211).
4. I have wasted time trying to find out these command were needed :(
The ps3 wireless kernel driver has wireless extension support.
There is a legacy wpa_supplicant driver, and support for this
has been removed from the kernel driver, as no distributions
are using it.
This may help in debugging why cfg80211 refused the association
command since the scan results should include information about all
pending authentication and association states.
cfg80211 has a limit on pending authentications, so we better clear
the entries that we do not care about to avoid hitting the limit
when roaming between multiple APs.
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.
This makes the bridge parameter unnecessary for cases where the interface
is already in a bridge and sysfs is mounted to /sys so that the detection
code works.
For nl80211, the bridge parameter can be used to request the AP
interface to be added to the bridge automatically (brctl may refuse to
do this before hostapd has been started to change the interface mode).
If needed, the bridge interface is also created.
If the driver is detected to use cfg80211, we can rely on it being able
to disconnect with SIOCSIWMLME commands and to use empty SSID as a way
to stop it from associating when we are in progress of configuring the
driver for association. Consequently, we can remove the hack that uses
random 32-octet SSID to force disconnection and re-order association
commands to match the expectations that cfg80211 has for WEXT ioctls.
This gets rid of extra scan rounds and attempts to associate with the
silly 32-octet SSID.
