gcc 4.4 ends up generating strict-aliasing warnings about some very common
networking socket uses that do not really result in a real problem and
cannot be easily avoided with union-based type-punning due to struct
definitions including another struct in system header files. To avoid having
to fully disable strict-aliasing warnings, provide a mechanism to hide the
typecast from aliasing for now. A cleaner solution will hopefully be found
in the future to handle these cases.
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.
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.
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 is an initial step in adding support for the new connect command.
For now, we just add the capability query. The actual use of the new
command will be added separately.
Previously, both the command replies and unsolicited events were
received from the same socket. This could cause problems if an event
message is received between a command and the response to that command.
Using two sockets avoids this issue.

hostapd currently tries to encrypt all auth frames,
except for "OPEN" and "SHARED with transaction 3".
This means that it will send an encrypted "unknown
auth algorithm" reply for all other algorithsm. Fix
this by changing the logic to only encrypt shared
key auth frames with transaction 3.

Change existing CONFIG_LIBNL20 compatibility code in
driver_nl80211.c to be used by both wpa_supplicant
and hostapd, but take care of nl_handle too now.
Propagate CONFIG_LIBNL20 out of .config file and onto
CFLAGS in the Makefile.
Use libnl-gen now too.

If hostapd segfaults, or is killed with -9, or the interface already exists,
when the interface is created, it will fail.

This adds a cleaner mechanism for protecting against unauthorized
data frames than the previously used drop_unencrypted mechanism
(which is not even available with nl80211 and had to use a WEXT
ioctl.
The old drop_unencrypted code is left in for now as the final
surviving WEXT use in driver_nl80211.c. However, it can be removed
from the build by defining NO_WEXT. It may also be removed
eventually when most users are expected to be using recent enough
kernel version.
For now, the old code using NL80211_ATTR_STA_FLAGS is left in for
backwards compatibility with older kernel versions. It may be removed
eventually when most users are expected to be running with new
enough kernel version.
This simplifies driver wrapper operations and removes last direct
struct hostapd_data dereferences from driver_nl80211.c. In addition,
some of the TX callbacks are now fixed for secondary BSSes.
This fixes deauth/disassoc frames in secondary BSSes when using
multi-BSSID. In addition, it reduces need to dereference
struct hostapd_data inside driver wrappers.
NO_WEXT can be defined to disable all remaining WEXT uses from
driver_nl80211.c. This breaks some functionality, so the code is still
in use by default. Anyway, the new #ifdef blocks make it easy to search
for areas that need to be converted to nl80211.
Instead of adding a new driver_ops for fetching neighbor BSS data (that
nl80211 driver interface had to scan during initialization), share the
same scan operations that wpa_supplicant is using. This gets rid of
duplicated scan code in driver_nl80211.c (and better yet, removes large
part of old WEXT code).
hostapd interface initialization is now completed in a callback, if
needed, i.e., he_features channel/hw_mode selection can use as much time
as needed. This can also help with radar detection in the future.
hostapd ended up with unregistered send_mlme() in commit
9f324b61ba. Fix this by registering the
handler both for wpa_supplicant-AP and hostapd use. [Bug 310]
Use a parameter structure to pass in information that can be more easily
extended in the future. Include some of the parameters that were
previously read directly from hapd->conf in order to reduce need for
including hostapd/config.h into driver wrappers.
