  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  3. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  4. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  5. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  6. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  7. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  8. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  9. interface will be used
  10. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  11. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  12. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  13. with nl80211
  14. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  15. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  16. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  17. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  18. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  19. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  20. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  21. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  22. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  23. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  24. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  25. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  26. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  27. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  28. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  29. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  30. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  31. into wpa_supplicant
  32. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  33. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  34. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  35. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  36. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  37. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  38. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  39. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  40. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  41. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  42. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  43. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  44. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  45. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  46. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  47. address frames
  48. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  49. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  50. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  51. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  52. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  53. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  54. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  55. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  56. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  57. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  58. an ESS (same SSID)
  59. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  60. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  61. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  62. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  63. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  64. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  65. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  66. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  67. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  68. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  69. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  70. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  71. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  72. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  73. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  74. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  75. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  76. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  77. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  78. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  79. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  80. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  81. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  82. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  83. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  84. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  85. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  86. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  87. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  88. against TKIP deficiencies
  89. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  90. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  91. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  92. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  93. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  94. not bytes
  95. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  96. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  97. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  98. needed with that version anymore)
  99. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  100. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  101. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  102. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  103. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  104. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  105. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  106. about
  107. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  108. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  109. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  110. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  111. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  112. (IEEE 802.11w)
  113. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  114. use correct FTIE
  115. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  116. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  117. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  118. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  119. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  120. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  121. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  122. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  123. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  124. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  125. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  126. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  127. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  128. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  129. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  130. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  131. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  132. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  133. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  134. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  135. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  136. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  137. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  138. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  139. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  140. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  141. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  142. present random binary data)
  143. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  144. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  145. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  146. when an interface is added
  147. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  148. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  149. indicating when new scan results become available
  150. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  151. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  152. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  153. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  154. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  155. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  156. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  157. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  158. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  159. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  160. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  161. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  162. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  163. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  164. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  165. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  166. versions
  167. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  168. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  169. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  170. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  171. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  172. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  173. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  174. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  175. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  176. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  177. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  178. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  179. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  180. [Bug 237]
  181. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  182. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  183. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  184. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  185. in .config
  186. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  187. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  188. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  189. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  190. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  191. work with new features
  192. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  193. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  194. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  195. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  196. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  197. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  198. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  199. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  200. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  201. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  202. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  203. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  204. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  205. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  206. PAC-Opaque)
  207. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  208. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  209. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  210. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  211. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  212. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  213. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  214. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  215. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  216. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  217. [Bug 232]
  218. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  219. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  220. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  221. buffer read overflow
  222. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  223. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  224. be lost
  225. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  226. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  227. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  228. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  229. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  230. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  231. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  232. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  233. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  234. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  235. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  236. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  237. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  238. different)
  239. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  240. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  241. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  242. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  243. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  244. for PAC provisioning)
  245. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  246. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  247. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  248. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  249. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  250. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  251. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  252. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  253. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  254. added support for EAP-FAST
  255. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  256. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  257. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  258. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  259. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  260. (still experimental)
  261. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  262. if TLS library initialization fails
  263. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  264. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  265. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  266. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  267. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  268. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  269. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  270. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  271. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  272. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  273. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  274. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  275. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  276. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  277. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  278. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  279. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  280. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  281. frame protection)
  282. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  283. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  284. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  285. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  286. immediately without sending a command
  287. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  288. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  289. use PIN)
  290. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  291. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  292. partial AID
  293. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  294. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  295. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  296. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  297. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  298. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  299. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  300. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  301. parameter is not exposed
  302. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  303. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  304. (wide-char functions)
  305. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  306. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  307. keys
  308. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  309. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  310. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  311. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  312. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  313. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  314. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  315. when determining whether there are pending messages
  316. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  317. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  318. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  319. localhost was used)
  320. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  321. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  322. future versions)
  323. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  324. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  325. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  326. case when group is not changed
  327. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  328. Windows version
  329. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  330. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  331. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  332. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  333. used even if the source address does not match with it
  334. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  335. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  336. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  337. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  338. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  339. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  340. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  341. implementation
  342. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  343. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  344. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  345. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  346. USB) [Bug 113]
  347. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  348. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  349. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  350. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  351. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  352. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  353. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  354. to be enabled)
  355. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  356. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  357. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  358. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  359. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  360. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  361. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  362. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  363. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  364. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  365. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  366. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  367. is terminated
  368. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  369. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  370. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  371. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  372. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  373. included)
  374. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  375. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  376. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  377. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  378. a raw PSK (hex string)
  379. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  380. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  381. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  382. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  383. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  384. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  385. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  386. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  387. status changes or when associating with a different network
  388. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  389. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  390. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  391. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  392. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  393. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  394. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  395. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  396. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  397. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  398. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  399. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  400. handle
  401. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  402. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  403. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  404. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  405. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  406. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  407. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  408. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  409. only one application to open the device
  410. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  411. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  412. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  413. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  414. when specifying the interface
  415. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  416. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  417. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  418. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  419. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  420. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  421. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  422. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  423. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  424. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  425. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  426. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  427. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  428. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  429. in Windows registry
  430. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  431. Windows registry
  432. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  433. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  434. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  435. that can use this information)
  436. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  437. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  438. [Bug 140]
  439. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  440. primitive
  441. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  442. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  443. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  444. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  445. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  446. on how to use this)
  447. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  448. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  449. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  450. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  451. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  452. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  453. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  454. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  455. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  456. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  457. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  458. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  459. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  460. instead of a static list generated at build time
  461. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  462. removing PMKSA entries
  463. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  464. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  465. WPA/RSN IE
  466. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  467. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  468. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  469. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  470. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  471. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  472. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  473. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  474. option can be changed if needed
  475. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  476. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  477. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  478. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  479. recommended)
  480. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  481. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  482. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  483. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  484. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  485. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  486. not likely to happen in real use.
  487. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  488. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  489. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  490. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  491. ap_scan=2)
  492. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  493. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  494. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  495. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  496. and stakey=1)
  497. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  498. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  499. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  500. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  501. other C libraries and compilers
  502. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  503. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  504. code more portable
  505. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  506. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  507. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  508. example makefile for nmake
  509. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  510. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  511. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  512. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  513. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  514. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  515. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  516. unregister a service
  517. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  518. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  519. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  520. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  521. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  522. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  523. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  524. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  525. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  526. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  527. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  528. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  529. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  530. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  531. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  532. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  533. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  534. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  535. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  536. 3 ms
  537. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  538. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  539. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  540. configuration blob
  541. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  542. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  543. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  544. session resumption
  545. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  546. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  547. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  548. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  549. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  550. easily on cross-compilation builds
  551. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  552. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  553. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  554. Windows service
  555. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  556. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  557. release since it is not needed anymore
  558. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  559. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  560. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  561. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  562. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  563. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  564. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  565. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  566. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  567. during handshake
  568. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  569. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  570. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  571. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  572. would get
  573. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  574. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  575. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  576. cannot be parsed successfully
  577. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  578. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  579. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  580. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  581. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  582. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  583. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  584. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  585. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  586. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  587. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  588. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  589. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  590. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  591. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  592. private_key
  593. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  594. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  595. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  596. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  597. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  598. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  599. system-wide trusted CA list
  600. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  601. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  602. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  603. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  604. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  605. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  606. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  607. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  608. wpa_supplicant process
  609. * wpa_gui:
  610. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  611. - added WEP key configuration
  612. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  613. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  614. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  615. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  616. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  617. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  618. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  619. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  620. EAP authentication immediately after association
  621. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  622. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  623. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  624. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  625. generate, e.g., man pages
  626. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  627. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  628. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  629. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  630. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  631. frame
  632. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  633. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  634. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  635. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  636. Ethernet
  637. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  638. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  639. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  640. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  641. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  642. these multicast addresses by default
  643. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  644. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  645. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  646. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  647. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  648. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  649. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  650. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  651. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  652. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  653. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  654. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  655. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  656. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  657. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  658. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  659. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  660. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  661. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  662. this with private_key)
  663. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  664. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  665. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  666. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  667. with drivers that do not support WPA
  668. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  669. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  670. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  671. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  672. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  673. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  674. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  675. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  676. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  677. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  678. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  679. the control interface, for example:
  680. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  681. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  682. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  683. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  684. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  685. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  686. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  687. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  688. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  689. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  690. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  691. open network configuration)
  692. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  693. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  694. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  695. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  696. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  697. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  698. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  699. (l2_packet_*.c)
  700. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  701. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  702. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  703. this)
  704. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  705. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  706. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  707. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  708. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  709. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  710. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  711. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  712. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  713. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  714. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  715. NDIS drivers
  716. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  717. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  718. configuration file
  719. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  720. processing
  721. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  722. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  723. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  724. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  725. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  726. the key in this case
  727. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  728. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  729. driver_ops function set_param()
  730. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  731. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  732. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  733. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  734. entered as a number, not group name
  735. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  736. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  737. cards
  738. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  739. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  740. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  741. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  742. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  743. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  744. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  745. authentication session
  746. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  747. password has expired)
  748. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  749. and adding them to the certificate chain
  750. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  751. were used
  752. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  753. identity or password is entered through control interface
  754. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  755. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  756. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  757. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  758. Qt development tools)
  759. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  760. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  761. 'reassociate' command has been used
  762. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  763. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  764. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  765. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  766. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  767. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  768. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  769. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  770. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  771. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  772. debugging code is not needed
  773. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  774. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  775. overflow
  776. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  777. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  778. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  779. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  780. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  781. but they may be removed in the future)
  782. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  783. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  784. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  785. interoperate with some authentication servers
  786. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  787. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  788. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  789. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  790. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  791. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  792. delayed until the PIN is available
  793. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  794. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  795. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  796. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  797. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  798. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  799. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  800. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  801. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  802. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  803. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  804. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  805. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  806. events
  807. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  808. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  809. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  810. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  811. using assoc_info events
  812. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  813. process id into a file
  814. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  815. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  816. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  817. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  818. authentication servers
  819. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  820. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  821. ap_scan=2)
  822. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  823. identity/password/otp
  824. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  825. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  826. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  827. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  828. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  829. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  830. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  831. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  832. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  833. when no matching AP is found
  834. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  835. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  836. when using WPA2-PSK
  837. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  838. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  839. retransmission of dropped frames)
  840. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  841. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  842. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  843. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  844. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  845. requires EAP workarounds
  846. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  847. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  848. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  849. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  850. authentication attempt
  851. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  852. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  853. verified)
  854. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  855. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  856. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  857. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  858. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  859. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  860. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  861. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  862. supports WPA-None)
  863. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  864. mingw
  865. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  866. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  867. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  868. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  869. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  870. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  871. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  872. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  873. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  874. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  875. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  876. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  877. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  878. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  879. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  880. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  881. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  882. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  883. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  884. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  885. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  886. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  887. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  888. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  889. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  890. running)
  891. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  892. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  893. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  894. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  895. the interface name
  896. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  897. file
  898. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  899. when exiting
  900. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  901. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  902. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  903. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  904. information
  905. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  906. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  907. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  908. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  909. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  910. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  911. authentication
  912. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  913. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  914. unicast key)
  915. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  916. drivers
  917. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  918. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  919. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  920. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  921. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  922. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  923. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  924. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  925. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  926. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  927. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  928. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  929. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  930. group, proto variables
  931. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  932. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  933. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  934. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  935. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  936. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  937. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  938. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  939. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  940. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  941. the association
  942. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  943. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  944. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  945. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  946. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  947. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  948. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  949. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  950. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  951. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  952. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  953. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  954. reply
  955. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  956. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  957. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  958. label which is thus more suitable default option
  959. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  960. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  961. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  962. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  963. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  964. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  965. WEP keys)
  966. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  967. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  968. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  969. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  970. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  971. session resumption)
  972. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  973. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  974. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  975. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  976. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  977. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  978. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  979. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  980. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  981. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  982. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  983. drivers expect this
  984. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  985. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  986. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  987. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  988. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  989. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  990. v17 or newer
  991. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  992. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  993. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  994. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  995. forever
  996. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  997. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  998. argument to match the previous behavior
  999. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  1000. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  1001. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  1002. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  1003. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  1004. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  1005. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  1006. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  1007. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  1008. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  1009. association
  1010. * changed driver interface API:
  1011. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  1012. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  1013. not defined)
  1014. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  1015. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  1016. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  1017. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  1018. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  1019. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  1020. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  1021. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  1022. sequential EAP packets
  1023. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  1024. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  1025. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  1026. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  1027. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  1028. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  1029. configuration
  1030. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  1031. IEs than just one WPA IE
  1032. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1033. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  1034. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  1035. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  1036. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  1037. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1038. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  1039. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  1040. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  1041. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  1042. for the broadcast key
  1043. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  1044. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  1045. WPA
  1046. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  1047. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  1048. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  1049. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  1050. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  1051. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  1052. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  1053. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  1054. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  1055. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  1056. supporting wireless extensions.
  1057. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  1058. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  1059. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1060. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  1061. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  1062. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  1063. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  1064. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  1065. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  1066. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  1067. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1068. started again
  1069. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1070. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1071. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1072. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1073. frontend is attached
  1074. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1075. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1076. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1077. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1078. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1079. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1080. the control interface;
  1081. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1082. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1083. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1084. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1085. * added support for LEAP
  1086. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1087. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1088. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1089. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1090. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1091. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1092. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1093. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1094. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1095. TLS processing
  1096. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1097. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1098. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1099. automatically)
  1100. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1101. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1102. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1103. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1104. from the station)
  1105. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1106. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1107. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1108. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1109. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1110. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1111. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1112. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1113. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1114. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1115. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1116. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1117. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1118. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1119. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1120. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1121. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1122. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1123. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1124. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1125. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1126. EAP-GTC
  1127. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1128. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1129. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1130. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1131. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1132. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1133. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1134. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1135. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1136. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1137. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1138. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1139. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1140. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1141. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1142. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1143. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1144. anyway for TLS)
  1145. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1146. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1147. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1148. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1149. Supplicant
  1150. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1151. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1152. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1153. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1154. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1155. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1156. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1157. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1158. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1159. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1160. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1161. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1162. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1163. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1164. option
  1165. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1166. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1167. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1168. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1169. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1170. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1171. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1172. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1173. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1174. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1175. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1176. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1177. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1178. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1179. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1180. wpa_supplicant
  1181. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1182. mode
  1183. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1184. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1185. - .config file for make
  1186. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1187. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1188. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1189. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
