Number of Linux driver wrappers included this more or less identical
function, so lets add a new helper file to be able to share some more
code between the driver wrappers.
Network device ifindex will change when the interface is re-inserted.
driver_wext.c will need to accept netlink events from "unknown" (based on
ifindex) interfaces when a previously used card was removed earlier. If the
previously removed interface is added back, the driver_wext data need to be
updated to match with the new ifindex value. In addition, the initial setup
tasks for the card (set interface up, update ifindex, set mode, etc.) from
wpa_driver_wext_init() need to be run again.
This adds support for PS3 wireless to wpa_supplicant.
Although PS3 wireless driver is designed to conform the WEXT standard
as much as possible, unfortunately the wext driver wrapper of
wpa_supplicant can not support PS3 wireless fully because:
- PS3 wireless driver uses private WEXT ioctls for accepting PSK of
WPA-Personal from the userland.
WEXT does not specify the way to do it.
- The association and 4-way handshake are done by PS3 virtual
wireless device. The guest OSes can not interfere it.
- No EAPOL frames are allowed to go outside of the
hypervisor/firmware nor come from. They are eaten by the firmware.
Thus I needed to make a new driver wrapper for PS3 wireless.
This patch can be applied against the latest 0.6.x tree.
