This patch changes wpa_supplicant policy for handling '' in SSIDs field of
Interface.SSID DBus message. It treats '' (zero-length) SSID as a request
for a broadcast scan, instead of ignoring it.
This patch updates DBus API .Scan() logic per the test cases listed below:
1) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20)})
Request: Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
This Patch: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
2) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['']})
Request: Active scan with only '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
Previous: No ProbeRequests; passive scan results for specified channel
This Patch: FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest on specified channel
3) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['MySSID']})
Request: Active scan with only non-'' SSIDs (1 channel)
Should be: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
Previous: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
This Patch: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each SSID on specified channel,
no broadcast ProbeRequest
4) Interface.Scan({'Type':'active', 'Channel':(2412, 20), 'SSIDs':['',
'MySSID']})
Request: Active scan with SSIDs, including 1 '' SSID (1 channel)
Should be: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for each
non-'' SSID on specified channel
Previous: 1 directed ProbeRequest for each non-'' SSID on specified
channel
This Patch: FIXED: 1 broadcast ProbeRequest, 1 directed ProbeRequest for
each non-'' SSID on specified channel
