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
wpa_supplicant can now initialize hostapd data structures when mode=2 is
used to set up an AP. The hostapd configuration is not yet set based on
wpa_supplicant network configuration block. In addition, the glue code
for hostapd driver_ops needs number of functions that will be needed for
AP functionality.
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.
The actual pointer to struct sta_info was not really used and it is
enough to use a single bit to indicate whether an AID is allocated. This
makes the BSS data take less memory while making the allocation routine
faster and removing the arbitrary MAX_AID_TABLE_SIZE limit of 128 STAs.
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.
Remove all fields before sun_path before printing or comparing sun_path
contents. Using offsetof should be portable. In addition, set sun_len
for FreeBSD.
Removing just sun_family is not portable since some systems (e.g.,
FreeBSD) include an additional sun_len field. Using offsetof should be
portable. In addition, set sun_ken for FreeBSD.
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.
