Previously, APs that were hiding SSID (zero-length SSID IE in
Beacon frames) could have been selected when wildcard SSID matching
was used. This would result in failed association attempt since
the client does not know the correct SSID. This can slow down WPS
which is often using wildcard SSID matching.
Ignore BSSes without known SSID in the scan results when selecting
which BSS to use.
This patch completely separates supplicant's code from dbus.
It introduces three new notifications which copes with all
remaining dbus stuff.
wpas_notify_unregister_interface() was renamed to
wpas_notify_iface_removed().
The hostapd/wpa_supplicant compilation failed with CONFIG_IEEE80211R=y
or CONFIG_IEEE80211W=y option if CONFIG_EAP_PSK and CONFIG_EAP_GPSK are
not used.
Both hostapd/wpa_supplicant compilation fails on DragonFly BSD.
This patch solves this issue.
I have tested only compilation. Not functionality.
Because I don't have any device which can work on DragonFly BSD.
mac80211 does not currently allow (re)authentication when we are already
authenticated. In order to work around this, force deauthentication if
nl80211 authentication command fails with EALREADY. Unfortunately, the
workaround code in driver_nl80211.c alone is not enough since the
following disconnection event would clear wpa_supplicant authentication
state. To handle this, add some code to restore authentication state
when using userspace SME.
This workaround will hopefully become unnecessary in some point should
mac80211 start accepting new authentication requests even when in
authenticated state.
Reorganize the TLS/crypto library segments into a single set of blocks
for each library instead of multiple locations handling library-specific
operations. Group crypto functionality together and get wpa_supplicant
and hostapd Makefile closer to eachother in order to make it easier to
eventually move this into a shared makefile.
Crypto library wrappers can now override the internal DH (group 5)
implementation. As a starting point, this is done with OpenSSL. The
new mechanism is currently available only for WPS (i.e., IKEv2 still
depends on the internal DH implementation).
Replace "nl80211: Ignored unknown event (cmd=33)" with
"nl80211: Scan trigger" to make debug output clearer. We do not
currently do anything with this event apart from showing it in
the debug log.
When checking the validity of VLAN ID based on RADIUS-based ACL or
accept_mac_file, the assigned vlan_id, not the old sta->vlan_id
(likely zero) needs to be used.
This allows NSS to be used to derive EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS keying material.
NSS requires a patch from
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507359
to provide the new API. In addition, that patch needs to be modified to
add the 16-bit context length value in SSL_ExportKeyingMaterial() only if
contextlen != 0 in order to match with the EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS use cases.
This issue seems to be coming from the unfortunate incompatibility in
draft-ietf-tls-extractor-07.txt (draft-ietf-tls-extractor-00.txt would
have used compatible PRF construction).
At this point, it is unclear how this will be resolved eventually, but
anyway, this shows a mechanism that can be used to implement EAP key
derivation with NSS with a small patch to NSS.
Whenever running wpa_supplicant in AP mode with WPS enabled, the
notifications of missing WPS PIN are now shown on the peer dialog
to make it easier to provide the PIN.
If no BSSes/IBSSes matching the enabled networks are found in the scan
results, IBSS/AP mode network (if configured) can be created in
ap_scan=1 mode instead of requiring ap_scan=2 mode to be used whenever
using IBSS or AP mode.
This brings in the first step in adding support for using NSS
(Mozilla Network Security Services) as the crypto and TLS library
with wpa_supplicant. This version is able to run through EAP-PEAP
and EAP-TTLS authentication, but does not yet implement any
certificate/private key configuration. In addition, this does not
implement proper key fetching functions either, so the end result
is not really of much use in real world yet.
On DragonFly BSD, wired IEEE 802.1X fails with this message:
ioctl[SIOC{ADD/DEL}MULTI]: Invalid argument
This patch solves this issue.
I have tested with these:
OS : DragonFly BSD 2.4.0
EAP : EAP-TLS
Switch : Cisco Catalyst 2950
hostapd needs to remove the old STA entry if it exists when processing
reassociation back to the same AP. This removes the potentially PS
buffered frames and allows association parameters to be updated with
mac80211.
This reverts commit 5aa9cb5cca.
The nested key attribute is using different attribute values
(NL80211_KEY_* vs. NL80211_ATTR_KEY_*), so cannot share the same routine
for these purposes..
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.
This allows background scanning and roaming decisions to be contained in
a single place based on a defined set of notification events which will
hopefully make it easier to experiment with roaming improvements. In
addition, this allows multiple intra-ESS roaming policies to be used
(each network configuration block can configure its own bgscan module).
The beacon loss and signal strength notifications are implemented for
the bgscan API, but the actual events are not yet available from the
driver.
The included sample bgscan module ("simple") is an example of what can
be done with the new bgscan mechanism. It requests periodic background
scans when the device remains associated with an ESS and has couple of
notes on what a more advanced bgscan module could do to optimize
background scanning and roaming. The periodic scans will cause the scan
result handler to pick a better AP if one becomes available. This bgscan
module can be taken into use by adding bgscan="simple" (or
bgscan="simple:<bgscan interval in seconds>") into the network
configuration block.
After transitioning from DISCONNECTED to SCANNING, we never go back
to DISCONNECTED even though scanning is done or failed.
We're thus stuck in SCANNING while scanning is actually done.
Convert wpa_supplicant_get_scan_results_old() to use the same return
style with the other get_scan_results options and clean up the code
by sharing the same scan result freeing and error checking code for
all the options.
Instead of implementing these separately in various control
interface handlers, use shared functions. These add some of the
previously missing notification calls, too, for the affected areas.
This introduces a new mechanism for collecting notification calls into
a single place (notify.c). As a result of this, most of the
wpa_supplicant code does not need to know about dbus (etc. mechanisms
that could use the notifications). Some empty placeholder functions are
also added in preparation of new dbus code that needs more event
notifications.
In addition, add a peer entry type for each peer entry. Currently,
this is only stored as an integer and visible in the context menu.
Eventually, different icons should be used based on this type.
