If the station is indicating use of WPS, WSC IE should be added into the
(Re)Association Response frame. This is clear for the case when WSC IE
was included in the (Re)Association Request frame. However, even the
WLAN_STA_MAYBE_WPS case may actually indicate use of WPS. Assume that to
be the case when WPA/WPA2 is enabled (i.e., when the STA does not
include WPA/RSN/WSC IE while AP has WPA/RSN enabled).

This makes it clearer that the PMKSA caching entry gets removed from
the driver regardless of how the internal entry from wpa_supplicant
gets cleared. In practice, this call was skipped only for the case
when the entry for the current AP was being updated, so the previous
version was likely to work with all drivers. Anyway, it is cleaner
to explicitly remove the old entry even in that case before the new
entry gets added.

Some client implementations only wait a few ms after sending a probe
request while scanning. Since probe responses are always sent at a low
rate this can eat quite some airtime and it might be impossible to get
the frame out before the client leaves the channel again. If the client
leaves before all probe reponses where acked this can cause the probe
reponse to be retried quite often consuming even more airtime.
Hence, add a new noack flag to the driver's send_mlme callback that
allows hostapd to request whether the driver should expect an ACK for
this frame or not.
Use the new noack-policy only for broadcast probe requests that contain
a wildcard SSID.

In some situations it might be benefical to send a unicast frame without

This structure was not really used for anything apart from figuring out
length of the EAP-pwd header (and even that in a way that would not work

Signed-hostap: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi>
Another niceness of OpenSSL is that if the high-order bit of a 521-bit
big num is not set then BN_bn2bin() will just return 65 bytes instead of
66 bytes with the 1st (big endian, after all) being all zero. When this
happens the wrong number of octets are mixed into function H(). So
there's a whole bunch of "offset" computations and BN_bn2bin() dumps the
big number into a buffer + offset. That should be obvious in the patch
too.
The previous EAP-pwd KDF implemented has an issue with group 21, that is
an elliptic curve group based on a 521 bit prime. 521 is not an even
multiple of 8, and therein lies the problem.
OpenSSL's BN library interprets a string of bits as in big-endian format
so all the calls of BN_bin2bn() will take the binary blob of bits and
turn it into a big number in big-endian format. In the EAP-pwd KDF, I am
stretching the key to "primebitlen". When that is not an even multiple
of 8 I have to mask off the excess. But I was masking off the excess
bits in the 1st octet (big endian after all) but that isn't right. The
KDF produces a string of endian-less bits. The 521st bit is the first
bit in the last octet, not the 7th bit in the first octet. So that has
been fixed and you can see in the attached diff what I'm doing.

If P2P device expires while a GO Negotiation is in progress, currently

indicate GO Negotiation failure and will remove any pending group

This patch addresses a corner case in GO-Negotiation case. Consider the
scenario where two devices A and B are in discovery stage and Device B
vanishes [moves out of range] when a connect is issued on the Device A.
Then Device A keeps on retrying the GO Negotiation Request till the
retry limit is reached. On reaching retry limit, the pending group
interface is removed. But suppose if the peer entry in the device list

The netlink event processing is delayed since they are only returned

This function is actually needed for quite a bit more than just
user space MLME implementation. The old comment here has not been
accurate for a long time, so get rid of it.
These driver_ops functions set_channel, set_ssid, set_bssid,
mlme_add_sta, and mlme_remove_sta were used with the user space
MLME implementation in wpa_supplicant. That was only for testing
purposes and was removed, but these driver_ops were forgotten.
Remove them now to remove confusing driver_ops definitions.
This code was used only with driver_test.c to allow MLME operations
in hostapd to be tested without having to use a real radio. There
are no plans on extending this to any other use than testing and
mac80211_hwsim has now obsoled the need for this type of testing.
As such, we can drop this code from wpa_supplicant to clean up the
implementation of unnecessary complexity.
Netlink sockets can be shared among all driver instances, saving lots
of sockets, spurious log messages, memory, and CPU usage when using
multiple interfaces in a single process.
This offloads the station polling to driver wrappers, which may offload
it again to the driver. The hostap driver wrapper uses "real" data
frames while nl80211 uses null data frames.
Also add a specific event to indicate that a poll was successful for
future use with the nl80211 driver.
