Wireless access point daemon, patched with ubus support
13adc57b39
To better support the IBSS/RSN mechanism, wpa_supplicant has to be able to detect a possible peer reboot and in this case it should start a new EAPOL handshake. To perform such reboot detection wpa_supplicant has to perform an Open Authentication by sending an Authentication frame and then replying to it. IF an Authentication frame is received when the key have already been exchanged, wpa_supplicant understands that the peer has rebooted and can reset its state machine. Whenever a new peer is added to the IBSS wpa_supplicant will start the Open Authentication and only after having accomplished it will start the key exchange. If the driver does not support Authentication frame exchange initiated from user space, this step is skipped to maintain previous behavior (just go through EAPOL-Key frame processing). The Open Authentication was partly supported by the Linux kernel but now wpa_supplicant can register for Authentication frames, handle it in userspace and so avoid any possible race condition.

wpa_supplicant and hostapd -------------------------- Copyright (c) 2002-2013, Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> and contributors All Rights Reserved. These programs are licensed under the BSD license (the one with advertisement clause removed). If you are submitting changes to the project, please see CONTRIBUTIONS file for more instructions. This package may include either wpa_supplicant, hostapd, or both. See README file respective subdirectories (wpa_supplicant/README or hostapd/README) for more details. Source code files were moved around in v0.6.x releases and compared to earlier releases, the programs are now built by first going to a subdirectory (wpa_supplicant or hostapd) and creating build configuration (.config) and running 'make' there (for Linux/BSD/cygwin builds).
