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.
Some deployed implementations seem to advertise incorrect information
in this attribute. For example, Linksys WRT350N seems to have a
byteorder bug that breaks this negotiation. In order to interoperate
with existing implementations, assume that the Enrollee supports
everything we do.
Attached is a patch for the RoboSwitch driver in trunk. It is a
general revision of the source code.
Changes:
- Improved IEEE 802.1X conformance ([1])
- Better conformity to Broadcom specifications
- Fixed compatibility with different chipset revisions
It is worth noting that performance may drop a little using the new
driver. This can be overcome by using "multicast_only=1" as a
parameter. In that case only packets to the PAE group address are
regarded, as the previous revision of the driver did. A more detailed
description of the parameter and it's consequences is available at [2]
(summary: use "multicast_only=1" whenever possible).

None of the driver wrappers user this. hostapd-controlled broadcast SSID
hiding can only be used with drivers that use hostapd for handling
Beacon and Probe Request/Response frames.
None of the driver wrappers use this. Only the drivers that use hostapd
for Beacon and Probe Request/Response handling can now use IEEE 802.11d
properly.
Note: This changes values for existing NL80211_ATTR_MAX_SCAN_IE_LEN
and NL80211_ATTR_KEY_TYPE (for some reason, they ended up getting
swapped in wireless-testing.git) and as such, could break Michael
MIC error reporting (well, at least partially).
When in AP mode, wpa_supplicant is now enabling WPS (only Internal
Registrar). wpa_cli wps_pbc and wps_pin commands can be used to initiate
WPS negotiation similarly to how this is done in station mode (though,
the BSSID parameter is ignored).
There is no point in trying to continue if a 4-way handshake frame is
discarded or if PTK/GTK/IGTK configuration fails. Force the client to
disconnect in such a case to avoid confusing user by claiming the
connection was successfully completed.
These driver wrappers use UNIX domain sockets and as such, won't be
built with Microsoft compiler. Consequently, use of C99-style designated
initializers can be used to make these files easier to maintain. Only
driver_ndis.c needs to support the old C89-style due to Microsoft
compiler not supporting newer C standard.
This was not really supported by any of the included driver wrappers. If
this functionality is desired in the future, this (or something similar)
can be added with the changes needed into a driver wrapper to use the
mechanism.
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.
This was not documented properly and was not really used nor would it be
suitable to be used in generic way as it was implemented. It is better
to just remove the parameter since there does not seem to be any
reasonable use for it.
nl80211 interface has a trivial bug that prevents it to work correctly
with channel 14. Channel frequency is erroneously 2848 instead of 2484.
To correct it just apply this patch. [Bug 308]
This merges the driver wrapper implementations to use the same
implementation both for hostapd and wpa_supplicant operations to avoid
code duplication.
This commit merges the driver_ops structures and implementations from
hostapd/driver*.[ch] into src/drivers. This is only an initial step and
there is room for number of cleanups to share code between the hostapd
and wpa_supplicant parts of the wrappers to avoid unnecessary source
code duplication.
Need to set WEP keys before requesting authentication in order to get
Shared Key authentication working. Previously, the WEP keys were not set
at all when using SME in wpa_supplicant.
IEEE 802.11r KDF uses key length in the derivation and as such, the PTK
length must be specified correctly. The previous version was deriving
using 512-bit PTK regardless of the negotiated cipher suite; this works
for TKIP, but not for CCMP. Update the code to use proper PTK length
based on the pairwise cipher.
This fixed PTK derivation for both IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w (when
using AKMP that specifies SHA-256-based key derivation). The fixed
version does not interoperate with the previous versions. [Bug 307]
mac80211 does not use this type of Michael MIC event, so this is not
really used and proper Michael MIC failure processing will be added
using an nl80211 event once that gets added into wireless-testing.git.
It looks like both new nl80211 operations (scan and auth/assoc) end up
being added in Linux 2.6.30, so we do not need to maintain the backwards
compatibility code in wpa_supplicant.
Update credential to only include a single authentication and
encryption type in case the AP configuration includes more than one
option. Without this, the credential would be rejected if the AP was
configured to allow more than one authentication type.
A new network block parameter, scan_freq, can be used to specify subset
of frequencies to scan. This can speed up scanning process considerably
if it is known that only a small subset of channels is actually used in
the network. A union of configured frequencies for all enabled network
blocks is used in scan requests.
Currently, only driver_nl80211.c has support for this functionality.
For example, following parameter marks 2.4 GHz channels 1, 6, 11 to be
scanned: scan_freq=2412 2437 2462
Move the shared IEEE 802.11w enum definition into src/common/defs.h to
avoid redefinition when both configuration structures are included into
the same file.
The memcpy was using incorrect size (of pointer; should have been of
data structure) for the client address. This ended up working on 64-bit
targets, but left part of the address uninitialized on 32-bit targets.
This version is adding the configuration option (mode=2) for this and
driver capability reporting to figure out whether AP mode can be used.
However, this does not actually implement any real functionality yet.
Need to set drv->ifindex before calling set_mode(). In addition, set the
mode before setting the interface up to avoid having to set it down
again.
Add more useful error message on mode changes.
All these driver handlers can be implemented in associate() handler
which gets all the needed information in the parameters structure. The
old functions that provided only a single parameter will be removed
eventually to clean up the driver_ops structure, so driver wrappers
should start using the newer mechanism.
This can be used, e.g., with mac80211-based Linux drivers with
nl80211. This allows over-the-air FT protocol to be used (IEEE
802.11r).
Since the nl80211 interface needed for this is very recent (added
today into wireless-testing.git), driver_nl80211.c has backwards
compatibility code that uses WEXT for association if the kernel does
not support the new commands. This compatibility code can be
disabled by defining NO_WEXT_COMPAT. That code will also be removed
at some point to clean up driver_nl80211.c.
On "eap_tnc_process" function error case, data->in_buf keeps reference
to a local scope variable. For example this will cause segmentation
fault in "eap_tnc_deinit" function "wpabuf_free(data->in_buf)"
statement.
This was broken by 510c02d4a3 which added
validation of eap_ttls_phase2_eap_init() return value. The main problem
in the code trying to initialize a new phase 2 EAP method
unconditionally; this should only happen if there is a new method in the
inner method sequence.
This is based on a patch and report by Masashi Honma
<honma@ictec.co.jp>. The issue is more generic than just TNC, though,
since failure to initialize any phase 2 EAP method can result in NULL
dereference.
On PEAP(TNC), hostapd integrated RADIUS server doesn't return
EAP-Failure when "Recommendation = none". So, EAP data retransmittion
occurs.
My co-worker "Ryuji Ohba" made below patch.
hostapd will now go through the RIC Request and process each RDIE. Only
WMM TSPEC requests are currently supported; all other request
descriptors will be declined.
RIC Response is written by hostapd and verified by wpa_supplicant (MIC
validation). wpa_supplicant does not yet have code to notify the driver
about the resource request results.
This adds first part of FT resource request as part of Reassocition
Request frame (i.e., FT Protocol, not FT Resource Request Protocol).
wpa_supplicant can generate a test resource request when driver_test.c
is used with internal MLME code and hostapd can verify the FTIE MIC
properly with the included RIC Request.
The actual RIC Request IEs are not processed yet and hostapd does not
yet reply with RIC Response (nor would wpa_supplicant be able to
validate the FTIE MIC for a frame with RIC Response).
Windows XP and Vista clients can get confused about EAP-Identity/Request
when they probe the network with EAPOL-Start. In such a case, they may
assume the network is using IEEE 802.1X and prompt user for a
certificate while the correct (non-WPS) behavior would be to ask for the
static WEP key. As a workaround, use Microsoft Provisioning IE to
advertise that legacy 802.1X is not supported.
This seems to make Windows ask for a static WEP key when adding a new
network, but at least Windows XP SP3 was still marking IEEE 802.1X
enabled for the network. Anyway, this is better than just leaving the
network configured with IEEE 802.1X and automatic WEP key distribution.
