Force deauthentication from the AP to clear mac80211 state (it would get
stuck with future scans if the AP is left in authenticated, but not
associated, state).
Add blacklist entry for the AP to allow other APs with worse signal
strength to be tried (e.g., when APs are trying to do load balancing
with status code 17). Reduce wait for the next scan to speed up
connection in cases where there could be other APs that could accept
association, but which show worse signal strength.
This introduces a new mechanism for collecting notification calls into
a single place (notify.c). As a result of this, most of the
wpa_supplicant code does not need to know about dbus (etc. mechanisms
that could use the notifications). Some empty placeholder functions are
also added in preparation of new dbus code that needs more event
notifications.
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.
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.
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.
