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