  7. - avoid more concurrent scanning cases during full group formation
  8. sequence
  9. - do not use potentially obsolete scan result data from driver
  10. cache for peer discovery/updates
  11. - avoid undesired re-starting of GO negotiation based on Probe
  12. Request frames
  13. - increase GO Negotiation and Invitation timeouts to address busy
  14. environments and peers that take long time to react to messages,

  16. - P2P Device interface type
  17. * improved P2P channel selection (use more peer information and allow
  18. more local options)
  19. * added support for optional per-device PSK assignment by P2P GO
  20. (wpa_cli p2p_set per_sta_psk <0/1>)
  21. * added P2P_REMOVE_CLIENT for removing a client from P2P groups
  22. (including persistent groups); this can be used to securely remove
  23. a client from a group if per-device PSKs are used
  24. * added more configuration flexibility for allowed P2P GO/client
  25. channels (p2p_no_go_freq list and p2p_add_cli_chan=0/1)
  26. * added nl80211 functionality
  27. - VHT configuration for nl80211
  28. - MFP (IEEE 802.11w) information for nl80211 command API
  29. - support split wiphy dump
  30. - FT (IEEE 802.11r) with driver-based SME
  31. - use advertised number of supported concurrent channels
  32. - QoS Mapping configuration
  33. * improved TDLS negotiation robustness
  34. * added more TDLS peer parameters to be configured to the driver
  35. * optimized connection time by allowing recently received scan results
  36. to be used instead of having to run through a new scan
  37. * fixed ctrl_iface BSS command iteration with RANGE argument and no
  38. exact matches; also fixed argument parsing for some cases with
  39. multiple arguments
  40. * added 'SCAN TYPE=ONLY' ctrl_iface command to request manual scan
  41. without executing roaming/network re-selection on scan results
  42. * added Session-Id derivation for EAP peer methods
  43. * added fully automated regression testing with mac80211_hwsim
  44. * changed configuration parser to reject invalid integer values
  45. * allow AP/Enrollee to be specified with BSSID instead of UUID for
  46. WPS ER operations
  47. * disable network block temporarily on repeated connection failures
  48. * changed the default driver interface from wext to nl80211 if both are
  49. included in the build
  50. * remove duplicate networks if WPS provisioning is run multiple times
  51. * remove duplicate networks when Interworking network selection uses the
  52. same network
  53. * added global freq_list configuration to allow scan frequencies to be
  54. limited for all cases instead of just for a specific network block
  55. * added support for BSS Transition Management
  56. * added option to use "IFNAME=<ifname> " prefix to use the global
  57. control interface connection to perform per-interface commands;
  58. similarly, allow global control interface to be used as a monitor
  59. interface to receive events from all interfaces
  60. * fixed OKC-based PMKSA cache entry clearing
  61. * fixed TKIP group key configuration with FT
  62. * added support for using OCSP stapling to validate server certificate
  63. (ocsp=1 as optional and ocsp=2 as mandatory)
  64. * added EAP-EKE peer
  65. * added peer restart detection for IBSS RSN
  66. * added domain_suffix_match (and domain_suffix_match2 for Phase 2
  67. EAP-TLS) to specify additional constraint for the server certificate
  68. domain name
  69. * added support for external SIM/USIM processing in EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA,
  70. and EAP-AKA' (CTRL-REQ-SIM and CTRL-RSP-SIM commands over control
  71. interface)
  72. * added global bgscan configuration option as a default for all network
  73. blocks that do not specify their own bgscan parameters
  74. * added D-Bus methods for TDLS
  75. * added more control to scan requests
  76. - "SCAN freq=<freq list>" can be used to specify which channels are
  77. scanned (comma-separated frequency ranges in MHz)
  78. - "SCAN passive=1" can be used to request a passive scan (no Probe
  79. Request frames are sent)
  80. - "SCAN use_id" can be used to request a scan id to be returned and
  81. included in event messages related to this specific scan operation
  82. - "SCAN only_new=1" can be used to request the driver/cfg80211 to
  83. report only BSS entries that have been updated during this scan
  84. round
  85. - these optional arguments to the SCAN command can be combined with
  86. each other
  87. * modified behavior on externally triggered scans
  88. - avoid concurrent operations requiring full control of the radio when
  89. an externally triggered scan is detected
  90. - do not use results for internal roaming decision
  91. * added a new cred block parameter 'temporary' to allow credential
  92. blocks to be stored separately even if wpa_supplicant configuration
  93. file is used to maintain other network information
  94. * added "radio work" framework to schedule exclusive radio operations
  95. for off-channel functionality
  96. - reduce issues with concurrent operations that try to control which
  97. channel is used
  98. - allow external programs to request exclusive radio control in a way
  99. that avoids conflicts with wpa_supplicant
  100. * added support for using Protected Dual of Public Action frames for
  101. GAS/ANQP exchanges when associated with PMF
  102. * added support for WPS+NFC updates and P2P+NFC
  103. - improved protocol for WPS
  104. - P2P group formation/join based on NFC connection handover
  105. - new IPv4 address assignment for P2P groups (ip_addr_* configuration
  106. parameters on the GO) to replace DHCP
  107. - option to fetch and report alternative carrier records for external
  108. NFC operations
  109. * various bug fixes
  110. 2013-01-12 - v2.0
  111. * removed Qt3-based wpa_gui (obsoleted by wpa_qui-qt4)

  526. interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  527. compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  528. * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
  529. messages to reduce latency in showing these
  530. (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
  531. * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
  532. * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
  533. configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
  534. * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  535. backwards compatible with old versions
  536. * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
  537. and over-the-DS)
  538. * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
  539. selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
  540. * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
  541. dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
  542. the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
  543. ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
  544. configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
  545. signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
  546. scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
  547. (this is currently only available with nl80211)
  548. * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
  549. * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
  550. linguist and add German translation
  551. * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  552. * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
  553. enabled networks
  554. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  555. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  556. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  557. will need modifications
  558. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  559. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  560. single document
  561. * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
  562. avoid issues when roaming between APs
  563. * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
  564. (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  565. * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
  566. * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
  567. allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  568. * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
  569. receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
  570. * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
  571. wrapper
  572. * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
  573. over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
  574. * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
  575. the dialog is kept open
  576. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  577. * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
  578. unnecessary scans and to speed up association
  579. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  580. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  581. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  582. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  583. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  584. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  585. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  586. interface will be used
  587. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  588. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  589. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  590. with nl80211
  591. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  592. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  593. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  594. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  595. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  596. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  597. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  598. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  599. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  600. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  601. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  602. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  603. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  604. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  605. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  606. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  607. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  608. into wpa_supplicant
  609. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  610. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  611. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  612. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  613. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  614. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  615. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  616. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  617. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  618. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  619. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  620. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  621. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  622. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  623. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  624. address frames
  625. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  626. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  627. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  628. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  629. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  630. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  631. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  632. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  633. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  634. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  635. an ESS (same SSID)
  636. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  637. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  638. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  639. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  640. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  641. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  642. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  643. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  644. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  645. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  646. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  647. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  648. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  649. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  650. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  651. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  652. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  653. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  654. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  655. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  656. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  657. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  658. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  659. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  660. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  661. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  662. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  663. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  664. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  665. against TKIP deficiencies
  666. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  667. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  668. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  669. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  670. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  671. not bytes
  672. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  673. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  674. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  675. needed with that version anymore)
  676. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  677. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  678. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  679. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  680. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  681. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  682. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  683. about
  684. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  685. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  686. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  687. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  688. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  689. (IEEE 802.11w)
  690. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  691. use correct FTIE
  692. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  693. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  694. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  695. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  696. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  697. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  698. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  699. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  700. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  701. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  702. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  703. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  704. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  705. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  706. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  707. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  708. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  709. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  710. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  711. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  712. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  713. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  714. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  715. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  716. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  717. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  718. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  719. present random binary data)
  720. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  721. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  722. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  723. when an interface is added
  724. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  725. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  726. indicating when new scan results become available
  727. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  728. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  729. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  730. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  731. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  732. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  733. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  734. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  735. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  736. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  737. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  738. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  739. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  740. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  741. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  742. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  743. versions
  744. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  745. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  746. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  747. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  748. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  749. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  750. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  751. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  752. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  753. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  754. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  755. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  756. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  757. [Bug 237]
  758. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  759. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  760. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  761. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  762. in .config
  763. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  764. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  765. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  766. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  767. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  768. work with new features
  769. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  770. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  771. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  772. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  773. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  774. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  775. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  776. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  777. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  778. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  779. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  780. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  781. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  782. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  783. PAC-Opaque)
  784. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  785. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  786. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  787. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  788. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  789. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  790. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  791. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  792. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  793. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  794. [Bug 232]
  795. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  796. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  797. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  798. buffer read overflow
  799. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  800. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  801. be lost
  802. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  803. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  804. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  805. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  806. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  807. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  808. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  809. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  810. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  811. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  812. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  813. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  814. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  815. different)
  816. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  817. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  818. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  819. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  820. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  821. for PAC provisioning)
  822. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  823. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  824. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  825. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  826. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  827. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  828. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  829. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  830. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  831. added support for EAP-FAST
  832. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  833. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  834. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  835. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  836. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  837. (still experimental)
  838. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  839. if TLS library initialization fails
  840. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  841. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  842. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  843. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  844. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  845. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  846. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  847. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  848. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  849. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  850. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  851. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  852. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  853. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  854. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  855. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  856. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  857. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  858. frame protection)
  859. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  860. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  861. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  862. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  863. immediately without sending a command
  864. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  865. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  866. use PIN)
  867. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  868. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  869. partial AID
  870. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  871. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  872. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  873. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  874. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  875. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  876. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  877. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  878. parameter is not exposed
  879. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  880. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  881. (wide-char functions)
  882. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  883. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  884. keys
  885. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  886. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  887. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  888. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  889. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  890. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  891. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  892. when determining whether there are pending messages
  893. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  894. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  895. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  896. localhost was used)
  897. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  898. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  899. future versions)
  900. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  901. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  902. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  903. case when group is not changed
  904. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  905. Windows version
  906. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  907. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  908. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  909. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  910. used even if the source address does not match with it
  911. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  912. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  913. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  914. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  915. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  916. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  917. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  918. implementation
  919. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  920. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  921. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  922. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  923. USB) [Bug 113]
  924. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  925. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  926. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  927. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  928. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  929. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  930. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  931. to be enabled)
  932. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  933. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  934. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  935. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  936. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  937. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  938. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  939. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  940. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  941. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  942. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  943. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  944. is terminated
  945. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  946. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  947. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  948. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  949. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  950. included)
  951. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  952. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  953. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  954. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  955. a raw PSK (hex string)
  956. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  957. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  958. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  959. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  960. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  961. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  962. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  963. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  964. status changes or when associating with a different network
  965. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  966. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  967. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  968. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  969. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  970. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  971. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  972. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  973. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  974. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  975. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  976. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  977. handle
  978. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  979. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  980. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  981. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  982. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  983. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  984. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  985. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  986. only one application to open the device
  987. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  988. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  989. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  990. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  991. when specifying the interface
  992. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  993. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  994. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  995. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  996. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  997. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  998. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  999. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  1000. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  1001. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  1002. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  1003. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  1004. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  1005. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  1006. in Windows registry
  1007. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  1008. Windows registry
  1009. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  1010. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  1011. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  1012. that can use this information)
  1013. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  1014. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  1015. [Bug 140]
  1016. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  1017. primitive
  1018. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  1019. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  1020. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  1021. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  1022. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  1023. on how to use this)
  1024. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  1025. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  1026. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  1027. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  1028. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  1029. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  1030. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  1031. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  1032. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  1033. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  1034. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  1035. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  1036. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  1037. instead of a static list generated at build time
  1038. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  1039. removing PMKSA entries
  1040. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  1041. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  1042. WPA/RSN IE
  1043. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  1044. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  1045. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  1046. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  1047. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  1048. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  1049. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  1050. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  1051. option can be changed if needed
  1052. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  1053. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  1054. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  1055. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  1056. recommended)
  1057. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  1058. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  1059. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  1060. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  1061. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  1062. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  1063. not likely to happen in real use.
  1064. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  1065. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  1066. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  1067. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  1068. ap_scan=2)
  1069. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  1070. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  1071. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  1072. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  1073. and stakey=1)
  1074. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  1075. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  1076. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  1077. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  1078. other C libraries and compilers
  1079. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  1080. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  1081. code more portable
  1082. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  1083. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  1084. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  1085. example makefile for nmake
  1086. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  1087. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  1088. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  1089. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  1090. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  1091. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  1092. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  1093. unregister a service
  1094. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  1095. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  1096. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  1097. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  1098. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  1099. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  1100. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  1101. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  1102. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  1103. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  1104. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  1105. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  1106. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  1107. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  1108. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  1109. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  1110. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  1111. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  1112. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  1113. 3 ms
  1114. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  1115. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  1116. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  1117. configuration blob
  1118. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  1119. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  1120. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  1121. session resumption
  1122. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  1123. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  1124. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  1125. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  1126. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  1127. easily on cross-compilation builds
  1128. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  1129. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  1130. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  1131. Windows service
  1132. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  1133. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  1134. release since it is not needed anymore
  1135. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  1136. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  1137. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  1138. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  1139. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  1140. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  1141. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  1142. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  1143. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  1144. during handshake
  1145. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  1146. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  1147. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  1148. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  1149. would get
  1150. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  1151. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  1152. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  1153. cannot be parsed successfully
  1154. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  1155. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  1156. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  1157. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  1158. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  1159. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  1160. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  1161. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  1162. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  1163. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  1164. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  1165. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  1166. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  1167. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  1168. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  1169. private_key
  1170. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  1171. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  1172. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  1173. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  1174. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  1175. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  1176. system-wide trusted CA list
  1177. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  1178. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  1179. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  1180. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  1181. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  1182. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  1183. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  1184. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  1185. wpa_supplicant process
  1186. * wpa_gui:
  1187. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  1188. - added WEP key configuration
  1189. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  1190. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  1191. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  1192. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  1193. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  1194. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  1195. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  1196. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  1197. EAP authentication immediately after association
  1198. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  1199. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  1200. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  1201. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  1202. generate, e.g., man pages
  1203. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  1204. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  1205. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  1206. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  1207. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  1208. frame
  1209. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  1210. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  1211. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  1212. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  1213. Ethernet
  1214. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  1215. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  1216. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  1217. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  1218. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  1219. these multicast addresses by default
  1220. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  1221. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  1222. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  1223. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  1224. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  1225. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  1226. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  1227. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  1228. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  1229. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  1230. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  1231. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  1232. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  1233. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  1234. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  1235. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  1236. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  1237. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  1238. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  1239. this with private_key)
  1240. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  1241. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  1242. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  1243. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  1244. with drivers that do not support WPA
  1245. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  1246. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  1247. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  1248. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  1249. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  1250. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  1251. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  1252. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  1253. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  1254. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  1255. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  1256. the control interface, for example:
  1257. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  1258. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  1259. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  1260. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  1261. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1262. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1263. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  1264. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  1265. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  1266. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  1267. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  1268. open network configuration)
  1269. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  1270. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  1271. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  1272. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  1273. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  1274. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  1275. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  1276. (l2_packet_*.c)
  1277. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  1278. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  1279. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  1280. this)
  1281. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  1282. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  1283. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  1284. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  1285. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  1286. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  1287. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  1288. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  1289. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  1290. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  1291. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  1292. NDIS drivers
  1293. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  1294. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  1295. configuration file
  1296. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  1297. processing
  1298. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  1299. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  1300. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  1301. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  1302. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  1303. the key in this case
  1304. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  1305. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  1306. driver_ops function set_param()
  1307. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  1308. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  1309. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  1310. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  1311. entered as a number, not group name
  1312. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  1313. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  1314. cards
  1315. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  1316. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  1317. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  1318. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  1319. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  1320. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  1321. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  1322. authentication session
  1323. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  1324. password has expired)
  1325. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  1326. and adding them to the certificate chain
  1327. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  1328. were used
  1329. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  1330. identity or password is entered through control interface
  1331. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  1332. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  1333. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  1334. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  1335. Qt development tools)
  1336. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  1337. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  1338. 'reassociate' command has been used
  1339. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  1340. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  1341. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  1342. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  1343. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  1344. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1345. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1346. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  1347. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  1348. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  1349. debugging code is not needed
  1350. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  1351. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  1352. overflow
  1353. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  1354. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  1355. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  1356. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  1357. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  1358. but they may be removed in the future)
  1359. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  1360. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  1361. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  1362. interoperate with some authentication servers
  1363. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  1364. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  1365. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  1366. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  1367. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  1368. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  1369. delayed until the PIN is available
  1370. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  1371. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  1372. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  1373. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  1374. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  1375. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  1376. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  1377. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  1378. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  1379. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  1380. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  1381. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  1382. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  1383. events
  1384. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  1385. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  1386. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  1387. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  1388. using assoc_info events
  1389. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  1390. process id into a file
  1391. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  1392. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  1393. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  1394. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  1395. authentication servers
  1396. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  1397. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  1398. ap_scan=2)
  1399. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  1400. identity/password/otp
  1401. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  1402. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  1403. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  1404. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  1405. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  1406. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  1407. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  1408. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  1409. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  1410. when no matching AP is found
  1411. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  1412. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  1413. when using WPA2-PSK
  1414. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  1415. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  1416. retransmission of dropped frames)
  1417. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  1418. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  1419. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  1420. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  1421. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  1422. requires EAP workarounds
  1423. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  1424. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  1425. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  1426. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  1427. authentication attempt
  1428. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  1429. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  1430. verified)
  1431. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  1432. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  1433. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  1434. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  1435. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  1436. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  1437. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  1438. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  1439. supports WPA-None)
  1440. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  1441. mingw
  1442. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  1443. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  1444. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  1445. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  1446. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  1447. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  1448. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  1449. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  1450. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  1451. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  1452. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  1453. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  1454. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  1455. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  1456. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  1457. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  1458. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  1459. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  1460. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  1461. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  1462. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  1463. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  1464. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  1465. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  1466. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  1467. running)
  1468. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  1469. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  1470. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  1471. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  1472. the interface name
  1473. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  1474. file
  1475. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  1476. when exiting
  1477. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  1478. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  1479. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  1480. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  1481. information
  1482. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  1483. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  1484. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  1485. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  1486. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  1487. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  1488. authentication
  1489. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  1490. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  1491. unicast key)
  1492. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  1493. drivers
  1494. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  1495. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  1496. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  1497. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  1498. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  1499. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  1500. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  1501. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  1502. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  1503. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  1504. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  1505. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  1506. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  1507. group, proto variables
  1508. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  1509. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  1510. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  1511. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  1512. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  1513. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  1514. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  1515. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  1516. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  1517. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  1518. the association
  1519. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  1520. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  1521. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  1522. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  1523. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  1524. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  1525. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  1526. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  1527. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  1528. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  1529. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  1530. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  1531. reply
  1532. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  1533. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  1534. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  1535. label which is thus more suitable default option
  1536. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  1537. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  1538. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  1539. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  1540. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  1541. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  1542. WEP keys)
  1543. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  1544. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  1545. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  1546. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  1547. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  1548. session resumption)
  1549. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  1550. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  1551. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  1552. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  1553. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  1554. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  1555. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  1556. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  1557. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  1558. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  1559. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  1560. drivers expect this
  1561. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  1562. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  1563. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  1564. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  1565. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  1566. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  1567. v17 or newer
  1568. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  1569. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  1570. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  1571. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  1572. forever
  1573. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  1574. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  1575. argument to match the previous behavior
  1576. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  1577. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  1578. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  1579. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  1580. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  1581. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  1582. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  1583. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  1584. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  1585. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  1586. association
  1587. * changed driver interface API:
  1588. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  1589. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  1590. not defined)
  1591. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  1592. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  1593. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  1594. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  1595. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  1596. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  1597. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  1598. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  1599. sequential EAP packets
  1600. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  1601. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  1602. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  1603. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  1604. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  1605. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  1606. configuration
  1607. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  1608. IEs than just one WPA IE
  1609. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1610. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  1611. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  1612. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  1613. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  1614. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1615. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  1616. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  1617. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  1618. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  1619. for the broadcast key
  1620. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  1621. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  1622. WPA
  1623. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  1624. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  1625. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  1626. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  1627. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  1628. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  1629. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  1630. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  1631. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  1632. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  1633. supporting wireless extensions.
  1634. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  1635. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  1636. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1637. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  1638. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  1639. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  1640. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  1641. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  1642. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  1643. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  1644. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1645. started again
  1646. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1647. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1648. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1649. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1650. frontend is attached
  1651. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1652. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1653. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1654. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1655. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1656. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1657. the control interface;
  1658. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1659. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1660. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1661. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1662. * added support for LEAP
  1663. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1664. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1665. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1666. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1667. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1668. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1669. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1670. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1671. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1672. TLS processing
  1673. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1674. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1675. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1676. automatically)
  1677. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1678. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1679. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1680. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1681. from the station)
  1682. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1683. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1684. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1685. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1686. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1687. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1688. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1689. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1690. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1691. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1692. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1693. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1694. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1695. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1696. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1697. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1698. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1699. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1700. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1701. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1702. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1703. EAP-GTC
  1704. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1705. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1706. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1707. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1708. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1709. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1710. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1711. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1712. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1713. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1714. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1715. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1716. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1717. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1718. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1719. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1720. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1721. anyway for TLS)
  1722. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1723. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1724. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1725. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1726. Supplicant
  1727. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1728. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1729. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1730. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1731. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1732. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1733. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1734. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1735. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1736. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1737. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1738. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1739. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1740. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1741. option
  1742. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1743. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1744. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1745. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1746. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1747. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1748. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1749. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1750. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1751. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1752. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1753. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1754. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1755. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1756. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1757. wpa_supplicant
  1758. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1759. mode
  1760. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1761. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1762. - .config file for make
  1763. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1764. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1765. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1766. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
