Listen to regulatory event messages from kernel and convert them to
internal driver event notifications indicated that the channel list
may have changed.
The AP operation with wpa_supplicant requires an additional callback
to get the needed event information from hostapd side so that
wpa_msg() can be called for wpa_s->parent if needed.
This makes it easier to figure out what could have failed in the
WPS protocol and potentially provide more information for the
user on how to resolve the issue.
The driver wrapper can now indicate whether the driver supports
concurrent operations on multiple channels (e.g., infra STA connection
on 5 GHz channel 36 and P2P group on 2.4 GHz channel 1). If not,
P2P_CONNECT commands will be rejected if they would require
multi-channel concurrency.
The new failure codes for P2P_CONNECT:
FAIL-CHANNEL-UNAVAILABLE:
The requested/needed channel is not currently available (i.e., user has
an option of disconnecting another interface to make the channel
available).
FAIL-CHANNEL-UNSUPPORTED:
The request channel is not available for P2P.
Allow only the expected P2P Interface Address as the BSSID for
the AP to avoid selecting incorrect BSS should there be another
device that is advertising active PBC mode before the target
P2P GO does.
At least D-Link DIR-600 and DIR-825 have been reported to include
an extra octet after the Network Key attribute within a Credential
attribute. This can happen at least when they are provisioning an
open network.
Add a workaround to detect this incorrectly encoded attribute and
to skip the extra octet when parsing such a Credential.
The new nl80211 API means we don't need to use monitor interfaces. This
means that the P2P implementation now requires a kernel that has support
for generic management frame (not just Action frame) transmission.

This is backward compatible since older kernels will ignore the extra
attribute and only allow registration for Action frames.

When the P2P state machine requests a remain- on-channel, there's a
potential race where it can then request a stop before the r-o-c has
actually started, in which case the stop will not be processed. Fix
that.

libnl has a bug, when binding more than two sockets and releasing one,
it will release the wrong address and then try to reuse it, which fails.
Therefore, we need to reimplement the socket address assignment logic
locally for libnl 1.1.

The new DBus API helper function wpas_dbus_error_unknown_error
function can be called as a result of a failure within internal
getter calls, which will call this function with a NULL message
parameter. However, dbus_message_new_error looks very unkindly
(i.e, abort()) on a NULL message, so in this case, we should not
call it.
I've observed this course of events during a call to
wpas_dbus_getter_bss_wpa with a faileld parse of the IE parameter.
We got here through a call to fill_dict_with_properties which
explicitly calls getters with a NULL message parameter. Judging
from the way it is called, this could easily occur if an AP sends
out a malformed (or mis-received) probe response. I usually run
into this problem while driving through San Francisco, so I'm
exposed to any number of base stations along this path.
This patch changes wpa_supplicant policy for handling '' in SSIDs field of
Interface.SSID DBus message. It treats '' (zero-length) SSID as a request
for a broadcast scan, instead of ignoring it.
This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:
1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This Patch: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['']})
Request: Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: No ProbeRequests; passive scan results for specified channel
This Patch: FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['MySSID']})
Request: Active scan with only non-'' SSIDs (1 channel)
Should be: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
Previous: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
This Patch: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['',
'MySSID']})
Request: Active scan with SSIDs, including 1 '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for each
non-'' SSID on specified channel
Previous: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each non-'' SSID on specified
channel
This Patch: FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for
each non-'' SSID on specified channel
Currently the DBus Interface.Scan API is counter-intuitive. It issues
ProbeRequests when doing passive scans when channels are specified, and
does not issue ProbeRequests for broadcast active scans.
This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:
1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive'})
Request: Passive scan (all channels)
Should be: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for all channels
Previous: 1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both broadcast SSID and
selected network (scan_ssid=1)
This Patch: --No change--: 1 ProbeRequest on all channels for both
broadcast SSID and selected network (scan_ssid=1)
2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'passive', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Passive scan (1 channel)
Should be: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1 channel
(plus overlapping channels)
Previous: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This Patch: --Fixed--: No ProbeRequests; Passive Scan results for 1
channel (plus overlapping channels)
3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active'})
Request: Active scan with no SSIDs (all channels)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels
Previous: No ProbeRequests; passive scan results for all channels
This Patch: --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on all channels
4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Active scan with no SSIDs (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: No ProbeRequests; Passive scan results for specified
channel (plus overlapping channels)
This Patch: --Fixed--: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Some sequencies of EAPOL logoff/logon/start messages seem to be
able to get the previous implementation into state where hostapd
would not be able to start reauthentication when external
authentication server is used. The EAP server code would bypass
the initial Identity Request generation and EAPOL code would not
be able to send anything to the authentication server or supplicant
at that point. Work around this by forcing EAP server code to
start with Identity Request after INITIALIZE state even if the
Identity is known.
When a single hostapd process is controlling multiple interfaces,
apply the received or auto-generated configuration changes to all
interfaces that have enabled WPS.
When the same hostapd process is controlling multiple interfaces,
apply WPS commands (push button, add PIN, change AP PIN) to all
interfaces that are configured to use WPS.
The previous used .gitignore files were mathing some files that
were actually already in the repository (e.g.,
hostapd/logwatch/hostapd). Avoid this by listing the conflicting
entries in the root directory .gitignore with full path.
A separate build number (etc.) version number postfix can now be
added to the build without having to modify source code files by
defining VERSION_STR_POSTFIX. This can be done, e.g., by adding
following line to .config:
CFLAGS += -DVERSION_STR_POSTFIX=\"-foo\"
Commit 3379a3a795 added a direct
iface->for_each_interface use without verification whether the
function is available. This works with hostapd, but not
wpa_supplicant (which crashes on segfault).
The previous implementation ended up incorrectly assuming that all
40 MHz use cases have secondary channel above the primary one. Fix this
by properly masking the secondary channel offset field and checking its
value.
wpa_supplicant showed signal levels incorrectly with some drivers:
Jun 6 16:29:36 rupert wpa_supplicant[18945]: Current BSS: 00:0d:97:11:40:d6
level=190
Jun 6 16:29:36 rupert wpa_supplicant[18945]: Selected BSS: 00:0d:97:11:50:09
level=192
Judging from output from other tools (iwlist) and the min_diff block
at the end of wpa_supplicant_need_to_roam, it seems these values
should actually be negative. Specifically, if one treats that number
as a signed char instead of unsigned, everything matches up.
To be honest, I've little to no understanding of wireless, but looking
at the source code for wireless-tools (iw_print_stats in iwlib.c), it
seems that the fields of the iw_quality struct need to be decoded
differently depending on various flags. I guess
src/drivers/driver_wext.c should have similar logic in
wext_get_scan_qual.
I wrote a patch that attempts to replicate some of that logic,
although it may be more complicated than is necessary; I think some of
the complexity is for backwards-compatibility, which might not be
necessary depending on wpa_supplicant's dependencies? In any case, it
is attached. Again, I don't know how any of this works, so it's likely
the patch is a bit off. But I think at least the logic to determine
min_diff in wpa_supplicant_need_to_roam would be more accurate if
level were determined correctly.
This cleans up debug log from unnecessary entries when using
wpa_cli/hostapd_cli or other ctrl_iface monitors that PING
periodically to check connectivity.
