mac80211 can indicate this mainly because of channel selection
conflicts with other vifs. If there is another BSS on another
channel, we should try to connect to it instead.
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT_AND_NON_P2P flag can now be used to
indicate that the initial interface (e.g., wlan0) is used for
P2P management operations and potentially non-P2P connections.
This is otherwise identical to
WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_DEDICATED_INTERFACE, but the possibility of
non-P2P connections makes some operations differ.
This may make it less likely for udev to rename the interface that
would previously have been called wlan0-p2p-# (now: p2p-wlan0-#).
In addition, add some workaround code to handle the case where the
main interface name is close to the IFNAMSIZ length limit to
avoid going over that for the P2P group interface.
In theory, the interface name could be longer than IFNAMSIZ in
some systems, so use the same size buffer for this field as is
used with the main interface name.
Some other dnsmasq users (like libvirt) seem to be binding the DHCP
server to all interfaces which prevents the previously used mechanism
here from working (bind on the DHCP socket fails). If a failure is
noticed, try to start dnsmasq with -z option to avoid that.
Move the previously SME specific optimization code into generic
function that can be used from non-SME code, too, and use it to
handle disconnection events. In other words, allow disconnection
event to trigger similar optimized scanning case to handle a
common load balancing mechanism. If there is another BSS in the
same ESS when we receive a disconnection event, scan only the
known frequencies of such other BSSes on the next attempt to
speed up recovery.
The special case of requiring blacklisting count to be 2 or higher
is only needed when more than a single network is currently enabled.
As such, we should not do that when only a single network is enabled.
This make the station more likely to follow network side load
balancing attempts where the current AP may disassociate us with
an assumption that we would move to another AP.
When authentication or association fails when trying to connect to
a BSS in an ESS that has multiple BSSes based on previous scans,
limit the first recovery scan to only the known channels that has
been seen previously. This speeds up recovery in some of the most
commonly used load balancing mechanisms in enterprise WLAN
networks.
There were various issues in how the SME (i.e., nl80211-based driver
interface) handled various authentication and association timeouts and
failures. Authentication failure was not handled at all (wpa_supplicant
just stopped trying to connect completely), authentication timeout
resulted in blacklisting not working in the expected way (i.e., the same
BSS could be selected continuously), and association cases had similar
problems.
Use a common function to handle all these cases and fix the blacklist
operation. Use smaller delay before trying to scan again during the
initial cycle through the available APs to speed up connection. Add
a special case for another-BSS-in-the-same-ESS being present to
speed up recovery from networks with multiple APs doing load balancing
in various odd ways that are deployed out there.
assoc_freq needs to be cleared when an interface gets disconnected.
This fixes an issue where P2P Action frame transmission may fail
because of missing remain-on-channel operation when using the same
interface for group operations (or non-P2P connections) and P2P
management operations.
The wpa_supplicant_event() EVENT_TX_STATUS ack field needs to be
converted to use wpas_send_action_tx_status()
enum p2p_send_action_result in this case, too, to avoid getting
incorrect TX status for P2P processing.
By default, make hostapd and wpa_supplicant maintain an internal
entropy pool that is fed with following information:
hostapd:
- Probe Request frames (timing, RSSI)
- Association events (timing)
- SNonce from Supplicants
wpa_supplicant:
- Scan results (timing, signal/noise)
- Association events (timing)
The internal pool is used to augment the random numbers generated
with the OS mechanism (os_get_random()). While the internal
implementation is not expected to be very strong due to limited
amount of generic (non-platform specific) information to feed the
pool, this may strengthen key derivation on some devices that are
not configured to provide strong random numbers through
os_get_random() (e.g., /dev/urandom on Linux/BSD).
This new mechanism is not supposed to replace proper OS provided
random number generation mechanism. The OS mechanism needs to be
initialized properly (e.g., hw random number generator,
maintaining entropy pool over reboots, etc.) for any of the
security assumptions to hold.
If the os_get_random() is known to provide strong ramdom data (e.g., on
Linux/BSD, the board in question is known to have reliable source of
random data from /dev/urandom), the internal hostapd random pool can be
disabled. This will save some in binary size and CPU use. However, this
should only be considered for builds that are known to be used on
devices that meet the requirements described above. The internal pool
is disabled by adding CONFIG_NO_RANDOM_POOL=y to the .config file.
We can automatically accept invitations that are for a persistent
group that is already running. There is no need to confirm this
separately or preparare a new group interface.
When an Invitation to reinvoke a persistent group is accepted,
we need to make sure that any pending p2p_find or p2p_listen
operation gets stopped to avoid consuming all radio resources
doing device discovery while the group is being set up.
The duplicated WPS event in the parent interface should only be used
during P2P group formation, i.e., when the WPS operation was actually
started using the parent interface. When authorizing a client to
connect to an already running group, the WPS command is issued on
the group interface and there is no need to duplicate the event to
the parent interface.
This pointer is now used in number of places to check whether an
interface is in P2P Group Formation, so we better make sure it gets
cleared when group formation has been completed. This was done in
only some of the cases.
ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change then.
In other words, the protocol is allowed to continue past M2, but
is stopped at M7 when AP is in this mode. WPS IE does not
advertise AP Setup Locked in this case to avoid interoperability
issues.
In wpa_supplicant, use ap_setup_locked=2 by default. Since the AP PIN
is disabled by default, this does not enable any new functionality
automatically. To allow the read-only ER to go through the protocol,
wps_ap_pin command needs to be used to enable the AP PIN.
The pending_invite_ssid_id of -1 (running group, not persistent) was
being stored incorrectly in the group interface, not device interface
(i.e., parent of the group interface) and consequently, the incorrect
information was used when processing the Invitation Response.
If there was a persistent group credentials stored with network id
0, those were used instead to try to set up a persistent group
instead of using the already running group.
Since the P2P peer entry may not have been available at the time the
join request was issued, we need to allow the P2P Interface Address
to be updated during join-scans when the P2P peer entry for the GO
may be added.
If the GO is not found, we cannot send Provisioning Discovery Request
frame and cannot really connect anyway. Since the Provisioning
Discovery is a mandatory part, it is better to continue join-scan
until the GO is found instead of moving to the next step where
normal connection scan is used (PD would not be used from there).
Use a limit of 10 scan attempts for p2p_connect join to avoid getting
in infinite loop trying to join. If the GO is not found with those
scans, indicate failure (P2P-GROUP-FORMATION-FAILURE) and stop the
join attempt.
CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal
implementation of line editing and history support. This can be used
as a replacement for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
Instead of using a separate process to receive and print event
messages, use a single-process design with eloop to simply
wpa_cli and interaction with readline.
Instead of multiple #ifdef blocks for readline within the function,
use two copies of the functions, one for readline, one without any
readline functionality.
When running "p2p_connect addr pbc join" command, send the
WPS-OVERLAP-DETECTED even also to the parent interface (i.e.,
the one on which the p2p_connect was issued) and not only the
group interface in case separate P2P group interfaces are used.
The driver wrapper may now indicate the preferred channel (e.g., based
on scan results) on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (and an overall best
frequency). When setting up a GO, this preference information is used
to select the operating channel if configuration does not include
hardcoded channel. Similarly, this information can be used during
GO Negotiation to indicate preference for a specific channel based
on current channel conditions.
p2p_group_add command can now use special values (freq=2 and freq=5)
to indicate that the GO is to be started on the specified band.
wpa_supplicant_set_driver() is returning an error if the first driver
in the driver list is not built in. It should continue through the
driver list until it finds one that's built in.
If IEE8021X_EAPOL is not enabled in the config, wpa_drv_set_supp_port
must be called from the supplicant, otherwise port will not be
activated after association.
Commit d8d940b746 introduced a regression
that prevented TSN APs from being used with WEP since the AP was
rejected if it advertised WPA or RSN IE when we were configured to use
WEP. Resolve this by checking whether the AP is advertising a TSN, i.e.,
whether the AP allows WEP to be used as a group cipher. If so, allow
the AP to be selected if we are configured to use static WEP or
IEEE 802.1X (non-WPA).
It should be noted that this is still somewhat more restricted in AP
selection than earlier wpa_supplicant branches (0.7.x or older) that
ignore the WPA/RSN IE completely when configured for non-WPA.
The driver may end up leaving the current channel when we request
a new remain-on-channel and as such, it is better not assume we can
start new operations like sending an Action frame on the previous
off-channel.
If we have already asked the driver to start a new remain-on-channel,
we need to cancel it even if the actual remain-on-channel has not yet
started at the point when a new operation or timeout etc. triggers
Listen state to be stopped.
Even if p2p_scan_res_handler() returns 1 to indicate that scan result
iteration should be stopped, the p2p_scan_res_handled() needs to be
called to clear p2p_scan_running and to get a callback that will start
any operations that were delayed because of the running scan.
There is no need to separately move to the correct channel
for transmitting an Action frame that is using the group
interface (i.e., source address is P2P Interface Address).
This removes extra latency from P2P Action frame operations
within a P2P group.
This is an option to continue with wpa_supplicant and hostapd even if
config file has errors. The problem is that these daemons are the best
"candidates" for the config change, so if they can not start because
config file was let's say corrupted, you can not fix it easily.

This could have been using an uninitialized variable instead of
purposefully random value in picking up the channel. There is not
much of a difference for the use case here, but anyway, we may
as well do what was initially planned here and.
The destination address for p2p_serv_disc_resp must always be set
to an individual MAC address unlike p2p_serv_disc_req which may use
00:00:00:00:00:00 to indicate wildcard query. As such, we should not
try to check for this special case here.
The ieee80211_sta_free_hw_features() function is now used outside
the MLME code, so better make sure it gets included in the build
to avoid leaking memory.
Add a new driver event, EVENT_INTERFACE_UNAVAILABLE, for indicating
that the driver is not able to continue operating the virtual
interface in its current mode anymore, e.g., due to operating
channel for GO interface forced to a DFS channel by another virtual
interface.
When this happens for a P2P group interface, the P2P group will
be terminated and P2P-GROUP-REMOVED event shows the reason for
this as follows:
P2P-GROUP-REMOVED wlan0 GO reason=UNAVAILABLE
Replacing the BSSID with 'any' has never worked with wps_reg
command, so better not claim it could work. In addition, reject
this is wpa_supplicant to make it clearer that the operation
fails.
A new configuration parameter, p2p_group_idle, can now be used to set
idle timeout value for P2P groups in seconds (0 = no timeout). If set,
this values is used to remove P2P group (both GO and P2P client)
interfaces after the group has been idle (no clients/GO seen) for the
configuration duration.
The P2P-GROUP-REMOVED event is now indicating the reason for group
removal when known. For example:
P2P-GROUP-REMOVED wlan0 GO reason=REQUESTED
P2P-GROUP-REMOVED wlan1 client reason=IDLE
The driver wrapper may indicate EVENT_CHANNEL_LIST_CHANGED before
completing init(). This would likely result in segfault when driver
channel list is being read as part of processing this event when
P2P is enabled.
This command can be used to enroll a network based on a local
network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
This is not supposed to happen, but in theory, the GO may end up
changing its channels at some point. While it would be reasonable
to use one of the common channels, GO may be forced to use another
channel. The most likely reason for this would be if the P2P client
is enforcing only a single channel to be used (e.g., to avoid
multi-channel concurrent operations).
The P2P group component is now tracking of associated stations
in the group and the Group Limit bit in the Group Capabilities
is updated based on whether there is room for new clients in
the group.
This driver capability limit was supposed to indicate limit on
how many stations can associate with us in the AP mode, not how
many P2P peers are stored in the peer table.
The workaround to ignore no ctrl::ack received for GO Negotiation
Confirmation frame was only supposed to be used when the frame was
actually transmitted and just the ack was not received. However, due
to the way the driver failure on transmitting the frame were reported,
this ended up getting applied for all failures in sending the GO
Negotiation Confirmation frame.
Improve this by providing a mechanism to indicate whether send_action
operations fail locally before the frame was actually transmitted or
because of not receiving ack frame after having transmitted the frame.
This is needed to work around cases where the pending interface gets
removed, e.g., due to failed GO Negotiation. In such case, we may still
accept new GO Negotiation to be completed, but the interface did not
get created without a separate p2p_connect command.
The current implementation is not ideal since the re-created interface
may, at least in theory, get incorrect interface addrees. Though, this
would likely require that the driver supported more than one P2P group
interface and that the previous one was already taken into use for
another group.
This is a workaround for incorrect configuration (missing
virtual/physical identifier for config methods) for WPS 2.0 to
allow unmodified configuration from WPS 1.0 to be used while
enforcing compliant WPS 2.0 values.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
WPS 2.0 mandates the AP to include WPS IE in (Re)Association Response
if the matching (Re)Association Request included WPS IE. Provide the
needed WPS IE information to the driver_ops API for drivers that
process association frames internally.
Note: This modifies the driver_ops API by adding a new argument to
set_ap_wps_ie().
Instead of build time options (CONFIG_WPS_TESTING_EXTRA_CRED and
CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING), use a single build option
(CONFIG_WPS_TESTING) and runtime configuration of which testing
operations are enabled. This allows a single binary to be used
for various tests.
The runtime configuration can be done through control interface
with wpa_cli/hostapd_cli commands:
Enable extensibility tests:
set wps_version_number 0x57
Disable extensibility tests (WPS2 build):
set wps_version_number 0x20
Enable extra credential tests:
set wps_testing_dummy_cred 1
Disable extra credential tests:
set wps_testing_dummy_cred 0
Previously, wpa_supplicant remaining in scanning state without
trying to connect, but there is no particular need to do that.
Instead, cancel WPS operation completely whenever PBC session
overlap is detected.
Disconnection event may be received while in associating state.
Previously, wpa_supplicant could get stuck not trying to reconnect
in that case at least with nl80211. Allow scan request in this
state to avoid the issue. This helps especially with APs that do
load balancing by sending Deauthentication frame as a response to
Reassociation Request frame after successful Authentication frame
exchange.
ctrl_interface STA_AUTOCONNECT command can now be used to disable
automatic reconnection on receiving disconnection event. The default
behavior is for wpa_supplicant to try to reconnect automatically, i.e.,
to maintain previous behavior.
The overlap condition cannot disappear before group formation timeout
hits, so there is no point in continuing in this case and failure can
be indicated immediately.
This allows the pending group interface to be removed if we fail
to join a running group. A longer than 15 second timeout is needed
here since the GO may not have authorized our connection yet.
A new ctrl_interface command, WPS_CANCEL, can now be used to cancel
a pending or ongoing WPS operation. For now, this is only available
with wpa_supplicant (either in station or AP mode). Similar
functionality should be added for hostapd, too.
The scan operation before Provision Discovery Request may not include
the GO. However, we are likely to have the GO in our P2P peer table,
so use that information to figure out the operating channel if BSS
table entry is not available.
This is needed to make sure we do not try to accidentally enable GO
in channels that may not be allowed. In addition, this may help with
some driver that do not like channel 14 even as a passive scan
channel.
This command is supposed to return the PIN value that was generated
or passed in as an argument. In the AP case, the entered PIN was not
being returned.
This is needed to be able to change parameters for dynamically
created interfaces between the creation of the interface and
association/start AP commands.
Following ctrl_interface commands can now be used:
P2P_SET client_apsd disable
- disable configuration (i.e., use driver default) in client mode
P2P_SET client_apsd <BE>,<BK>,<VI>,<VO>;<max SP Length>
- enable UASPD with specific trigger configuration (0/1) per AC
(max SP Length is currently ignored)
P2P_SET go_apsd disable
- disable configuration (i.e., use driver default) in AP mode
P2P_SET go_apsd <0/1>
- disable/enable APSD in AP mode
This event indicates the Device Password ID that the peer tried
to use in GO Negotiation. For example:
P2P-GO-NEG-REQUEST 02:40:61:c2:f3:b7 dev_passwd_id=4
If enabled, cross connection allows GO to forward IPv4 packets
using masquerading NAT from the P2P clients in the group to an
uplink WLAN connection. This is disabled by default and can be
enabled with "wpa_cli p2p_set cross_connect 1" on the P2P device
interface.
For now, this applies to the test command that can be used to set
periodic NoA (p2p_set noa). The value are stored and periodic NoA
is enabled whenever there are no non-P2P STAs connected to the GO.
While this is not strictly speaking required by the P2P specification
for a not-P2P Managed Device, this can provide useful information for
the P2P manager AP and may be needed to pass certification tests.
For client-invites-device case, the pre-authorization of an invitation
to running group will need to allow Invitation Request from specified
address, too. This is for testing uses only.
"wpa_cli p2p_set peer_filter <MAC address>" can now be used to
only allow a single P2P Device (based on P2P Device Address) to be
discovered for testing. Setting the address to 00:00:00:00:00:00
disables the filter.
This is mainly designed for testing and allows p2p_connect join auth
to be used to accept a specific invitation to an active group that
may be received in the future.
The driver event for remain-on-channel may be delayed in a way that
allows management-frame-received event to be received before
wpa_supplicant knows that the driver is actually already on the
previously requested channel. We should not request a new
remain-on-channel to send a response to just a frame if we are waiting
for the driver to get to the same channel. Instead, just continue
waiting for the driver event.
When the first wpa_supplicant interface is not the correct one for
transmitting an Action frame (e.g., P2P Presence Request frame
uses a group interface), the code got stuck in an infinite busy
loop. Fix the iteration to go through the interfaces properly.
If CONFIG_WPS_STRICT is set, validate WPS IE(s) in management frames and
reject the frames if any of the mandatory attributes is missing or if an
included attribute uses an invalid value. In addition, verify that all
mandatory attributes are included and have valid values in the WSC
messages.
Advertize list of authorized enrollee MAC addresses in Beacon and
Probe Response frames and use these when selecting the AP. In order
to provide the list, the enrollee MAC address should be specified
whenever adding a new PIN. In addition, add UUID-R into
SetSelectedRegistrar action to make it potentially easier for an AP
to figure out which ER sent the action should there be multiple ERs
using the same IP address.
Verify that the driver wrapper is using a valid deauth/disassoc
event before dereferencing the addr pointer. The address is required
to be set in AP mode, but it is safer to verify this here than to
trust on all driver wrappers doing the correct thing.
Some NDIS drivers require a workaround to allow them to associate
with a WPS AP that is already using protection (Privacy field = 1).
Let driver_ndis.c know if the AP is already using Privacy and if so,
configure a dummy WEP key to force the driver to associate.
Commit d8d940b746 broke the logic on
iterating through all configured network blocks. This was supposed
to continue the loop on mismatch to allow other than the first
configured network to be found.
This patch adds support for wired IEEE 802.1X client on the Solaris.
I have tested with these:
OS : OpenSolaris 2009.06
EAP : EAP-MD5
Switch : Cisco Catalyst 2950
The driver is likely to indicate an immediate signal event when the
threshold value is configured. Since we do this immediately after
association, there is not much point in requesting a new scan to be
started based on this event.
The driver is likely to indicate an immediate signal event when the
threshold value is configured. Since we do this immediately after
association, there is not much point in requesting a new scan to be
started based on this event.
This removes quite a bit of duplicated code and allows network block
priority configuration to be used to prefer unprotected networks and
also allows use on open network with good signal strength even if
scan results show a protected network with marginal signal strength
that does not allow it to be used.
The wpa_supplicant compilation without CONFIG_WPS option results in
messages below.
scan.c: In function 'wpa_supplicant_scan':
scan.c:246: warning: unused variable 'wps'
This trivial patch erases this warning.
This clears up authentication state in the driver and in case of
cfg80211, unlocks the BSS entry for the previously used AP. The
previous commit cf4783e35f changed
only the ctrl_iface DISCONNECT command behavior; this new commit
does the same for D-Bus commands.
wpa_s->bssid is already cleared by mark_disassoc() when we're getting the
disassociation event for the case where wpa_supplicant requested
disassociation. wpa_s->sme.prev_bssid holds the BSSID we need to check
for, so use that instead.

When passing several authentication algorithms through auth_alg, we
should try all of them when the first one fails. The wext driver goes
through the connect nl80211 command and the retries are then handled by
the kernel. The nl80211 doesn't and we have to handle that from
userspace.

This is needed to avoid trying to reassociate based on new scan
results when using wpa_supplicant to control AP mode. This could
happen if something external triggered the driver to run a scan.
When SME is in wpa_supplicant (mac80211), we need to make sure that
the kernel code has valid BSS entry for the AP. In some cases it
seemed to be possible to end up not having current information in
cfg80211 or mac80211 which can result to association failures. Avoid
this by always running through the scan request before initial
connection attempt.
It is possible that l2_packet is not used with wpa_supplicant
in some cases, so better make sure we do not end up notifying
l2_packet code about authentications unless it was actually
initialized in the first place.
Store list of all discovered BSSes in the ESS and on which frequencies
they have been seen. Use this information to dynamically generated the
list of channels for background scans.
The AP configuration may change after provisioning, so it is better
not to use the current security policy to prioritize results. Instead,
use WPS Selected Registrar attribute as the main sorting key and use
signal strength next without considering security policy or rate sets.
The non-WPS provisioning case remains as-is, i.e., this change applies
only when trying to find an AP for WPS provisioning.
Addition of the background scanning mechanism in commit
60b94c9819 moved the scan trigger
into a new function that was also incrementing the scan_runs
counter, but the removal of the previous scan_runs incrementation
was forgotten from that patch. This counter should only be updated
into a single location, so remove the old one. This improves AP
selection for WPS provisioning by not skipping some of the initial
scans.
wps_er_config can now be used to configure an AP. It is similar to
wps_er_learn, but instead of only learning the current AP settings,
it continues to send M8 with the new settings for the AP.
wps_er_start command now takes an optional parameter that can be used
to configure a filter to only allow UPnP SSDP messages from the
specified IP address. In practice, this limits the WPS ER operations
to a single AP and filters out all other devices in the network.
This avoids an invalid D-Bus call during interface initialization.
The wpa_state change can happen before the D-Bus interface is set up,
so we must be preparted to handle this early event signal. In theory,
it should be possible to reorder initialization code to make sure
D-Bus signals are ready, but that would likely require quite a bit of
code restructuring, so it looks like a safer option for now is to just
skip the early event.
The wpa_supplicant compilation with CONFIG_AP option and without
CONFIG_IEEE80211R, CONFIG_WPS, NEED_SME, CONFIG_CLIENT_MLME options
results in following messages.
../src/ap/drv_callbacks.o: In function `hostapd_notif_assoc':
../src/ap/drv_callbacks.c:59: undefined reference to
`ieee802_11_parse_elems'
gmake: *** [wpa_supplicant] Error 1
Add a new wpa_supplicant state: interface disabled. This can be used
to allow wpa_supplicant to be running with the network interface even
when the driver does not actually allow any radio operations (e.g.,
due to rfkill).
Allow driver_nl80211.c and driver_wext.c to start while rfkill is in
blocked state (i.e., when ifconfig up fails) and process rfkill
events to block/unblock WLAN.
Use regular expression matches to see if input is not the (now translated?)
string "Select any network" and is a "<network id>: <ssid>" string or the
"all" keyword where that is applicable.

This allows wpa_supplicant to be started quickly with an empty
configuration. If an external program wants to fetch scan results
from wpa_supplicant, it will need to request a scan explicitly
in this type of case.
Add "wpa-ft-psk", "wpa-psk-sha256", "wpa-ft-eap" and "wpa-eap-sha256"
possible KeyMgmt values of interface capabilities to fit values in
BSS RSN options dictionary.
This adds more details into the CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED event to
make it easier to figure out which network was disconnected in some
race conditions and to what could have been the reason for
disconnection. The reason code is currently only available with
the nl80211 driver wrapper.
These bursts can result in control interface monitors being detached
even if the external program is still working properly. Use much larger
error threshold for ENOBUFS to avoid this.
There is no absolute requirement for separating address allocation
into separate functions, so simplify the driver wrapper interface
to use just if_add and if_remove instead of adding the new
alloc_interface_addr() and release_interface_addr() functions.
if_add() can now indicate if the driver forced a different interface
name or address on the virtual interface.
Scan only the frequency that was used during provisioning during the
first five scans for the connection. This speeds up connection in the
most likely case where the AP remains on the same channel. If the AP is
not found after these initial scans, all channels will be scanned.
'wpa_cli roam <bssid>' can now be used to test roaming within an ESS
(e.g., for FT over-the-air). This command will bypass a new scan and
will select the BSS based on the specified BSSID. It is responsibility
of the caller to make sure that the target AP is in the BSS table.
This can be done, e.g., by running a scan before the roam command,
if needed.
Instead of parsing the IEs in the callers, use the already existing
parser in wpa_ft.c to handle MDIE and FTIE from initial MD association
response. In addition, this provides more complete access to association
response IEs to FT code which will be needed to fix FT 4-way handshake
message 2/4.
This sets the FT Capability and Policy field in the MDIE to the values
received from the target AP (if available). This fixes the MDIE contents
during FT Protocol, but the correct value may not yet be used in initial
mobility domain association.
When using wpa_supplicant SME (i.e., using nl80211), the rsn_supp
module was not informed of the WPA/RSN IE that was used in
(Re)Association Request frame. This broke roaming between APs that
use different security policy (e.g., changing between WPA/TKIP and
WPA2/CCMP APs) or when using PMKSA caching.
This allows bgscan modules to use more information to decide on when
to perform background scans. bgscan_simple can now change between
short and long background scan intervals based on signal strength
and in addition, it can trigger immediate scans when the signal
strength is detected to be dropping.
bgscan_simple takes following parameters now:
short interval:signal strength threshold:long interval
For example:
bgscan="simple:30:-45:300"
This can be used to limit which frequencies are considered when
selecting a BSS. This is somewhat similar to scan_freq, but will
also affect any scan results regardless of which program triggered
the scan.
Need to kill the monitor process before running detach command on
the monitor connection to avoid race where the monitor process may
end up getting the detach command result.
Previously, this was only done with userspace MLME (i.e., driver_test.c);
now, driver_nl80211.c can deliver the FT Action Response (FT-over-DS)
for processing. The reassociation after successful FT Action frame
exchange is not yet implemented.
