Really disassociate when tearing stuff down; drivers may sometimes
(legally) keep trying to reassociate unless the BSSID is unlocked. If
the SSID is unlocked too, under WEXT drivers are able to pick an SSID to
associate, so kill that behavior by setting a bogus SSID. Unfortunately
WEXT doesn't provide an easy method to say "stop whatever doing and just
idle".

The madwifi driver has interface to set probe request ie.
Attached patch will enable the functionality.
I could see probe request includes WSC IE with this patch.
We can now handle up to 65535 byte result buffer which is the maximum
due to WEXT using 16-bit length field. Previously, this was limited to
32768 bytes in practice even through we tried with 65536 and 131072
buffers which we just truncated into 0 in the 16-bit variable.
This more or less doubles the number of BSSes we can received from scan
results.
I am terribly sorry, but because of a lack of testing equipment the
patch was submitted not properly tested.
Because the chipset documentation is not publicly available all
behaviour has to be found out by experimentation. The other day, I
made some incorrect assumptions based on my findings.
I do believe the attached patch does support the whole RoboSwitch line
(5325, 5350, 5352, 5365 and others). It is a drop-in substitution for
my previous submission.
The RoboSwitch driver of wpa_supplicant had one shortcoming: not
supporting the 5365 series. I believe the patch attached fixes this
problem.
Furthermore it contains a small readability rewrite. It basically is an
explicit loop-rollout so that the wpa_driver_roboswitch_leave style
matches that of wpa_driver_roboswitch_join.
This commit adds a new build option, CONFIG_IBSS_RSN=y, that can be used
to enable RSN support for IBSS. This links in RSN Authenticator code
from hostapd and adds code for managing per-peer information for IBSS. A
new wpa_cli command or driver event can be used to request RSN
authentication with an IBSS peer. New RSN Authenticator and Supplicant
will be allocated for each peer.
The basic state machine setup code is included in this commit, but the
state machines are not properly started yet. In addition, some of the
callback functions are not yet complete.
This is needed for airo driver to work correctly and no other driver
seems to care, so the change is safe to make. This has been in number of
distro releases for a long time and no issues have been reported.
The new INTERFACE_LIST global control interface command can be used to
request a list of all available network interfaces that could be used
with the enabled driver wrappers. This could be used to enable
interfaces automatically by external programs (e.g., wpa_gui).
Driver wrappers can now register global_init() and global_deinit()
driver_ops handlers to get a global data structure that can be shared
for all interfaces. This allows driver wrappers to initialize some
functionality (e.g., interface monitoring) before any interfaces have
been initialized.
driver_test can now be used either over UNIX domain socket or UDP
socket. This makes it possible to run the test over network and makes it
easier to port driver_test to Windows.
hostapd configuration: test_socket=UDP:<listen port>
wpa_supplicant configuration: driver_param=test_udp=<dst IP addr>:<port>
This adds support for setting of a regulatory domain to wpa_supplicant
drivers. It also adds regulatory domain setting for the nl80211 driver.
We expect an ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 in the wpa configuration file as a
global.
Fragment WPS IE if needed to fit into the IE length limits in hostapd
and Reassemble WPS IE data from multiple IEs in wpa_supplicant.
In addition, moved WPS code from events.c into wps_supplicant.c to clean
up module interfaces.
This adds WPS support for both hostapd and wpa_supplicant. Both programs
can be configured to act as WPS Enrollee and Registrar. Both PBC and PIN
methods are supported.
Currently, hostapd has more complete configuration option for WPS
parameters and wpa_supplicant configuration style will likely change in
the future. External Registrars are not yet supported in hostapd or
wpa_supplicant. While wpa_supplicant has initial support for acting as
an Registrar to configure an AP, this is still using number of hardcoded
parameters which will need to be made configurable for proper operation.
Find attached the patch that creates a new driver: roboswitch. This
driver adds support for wired authentication with a Broadcom
RoboSwitch chipset. For example it is now possible to do wired
authentication with a Linksys WRT54G router running OpenWRT.
LIMITATIONS
- At the moment the driver does not support the BCM5365 series (though
adding it requires just some register tweaks).
- The driver is also limited to Linux (this is a far more technical
restriction).
- In order to compile against a 2.4 series you need to edit
include/linux/mii.h and change all references to "u16" in "__u16". I
have submitted a patch upstream that will fix this in a future version
of the 2.4 kernel. [These modifications (and more) are now included in
the kernel source and can be found in versions 2.4.37-rc2 and up.]
USAGE
- Usage is similar to the wired driver. Choose the interfacename of
the vlan that contains your desired authentication port on the router.
This name must be formatted as <interface>.<vlan>, which is the
default on all systems I know.
Remove the old code from driver_wext.c since the private ioctl interface is
never going to be used with mac80211. driver_nl80211.c has an
implementation than can be used with mac80211 (with two external patches to
enable userspace MLME configuration are still required, though).
A driver was found to remove SSID IE from NDIS_WLAN_BSSID_EX IEs, but the
correct SSID is included in NDIS_802_11_SSID structure inside the BSSID
data. If this is seen in scan results, create a matching SSID IE and add it
to the end of IEs to fix scan result parsing.
A bug just got reported as a result of this for mac80211 drivers.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=459399
The basic problem is that since taking the device down clears the keys
from the driver on many mac80211-based cards, and since the mode gets
set _after_ the keys have been set in the driver, the keys get cleared
on a mode switch and the resulting association is wrong. The report is
about ad-hoc mode specifically, but this could happen when switching
from adhoc back to managed mode.
If IWEVGENIE or custom event wpa_ie/rsn_ie is received in scan with empty
buffer, the previous version ended up calling realloc(NULL, 0) which seems
to return a non-NULL value in some cases. When this return value is passed
again into realloc with realloc(ptr, 0), the returned value could be NULL.
If the ptr is then freed (os_free(data.ie) in SIOCGIWAP handling), glibc
may crash due to invalid pointer being freed (or double-freed?). The
non-NULL realloc(NULL, 0) return value from glibc looks a bit odd behavior,
but anyway, better avoid this case completely and just skip the IE events
that have an empty buffer.
This issue should not show up with drivers that produce proper scan results
since the IEs will always include the two-octet header. However, it seems
to be possible to see this when using 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace
with incorrect compat-ioctl processing.
These functions are based on the hostapd implementation and complete
the userspace MLME code in wpa_supplicant (though, mac80211 will still need
couple of pending patches to be integrated in order to get userspace client
MLME working again).
This adds some parts needed to use usermode MLME with the current mac80211
(plus a patch to add a new cfg80211 command; not yet submitted to
wireless-testing). This version creates a monitor interface for management
frames and is able to send Probe Request frames during scan. However, it
looks like management frame reception is not yet working properly. In
addition, mlme_{add,remove}_sta() handlers are still missing.
