  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. 2015-03-15 - v2.4
  3. * allow OpenSSL cipher configuration to be set for internal EAP server
  4. (openssl_ciphers parameter)
  5. * fixed number of small issues based on hwsim test case failures and
  6. static analyzer reports
  7. * P2P:
  8. - add new=<0/1> flag to P2P-DEVICE-FOUND events
  9. - add passive channels in invitation response from P2P Client
  10. - enable nl80211 P2P_DEVICE support by default
  11. - fix regresssion in disallow_freq preventing search on social
  12. channels
  13. - fix regressions in P2P SD query processing
  14. - try to re-invite with social operating channel if no common channels
  15. in invitation
  16. - allow cross connection on parent interface (this fixes number of
  17. use cases with nl80211)
  18. - add support for P2P services (P2PS)
  19. - add p2p_go_ctwindow configuration parameter to allow GO CTWindow to
  20. be configured
  21. * increase postponing of EAPOL-Start by one second with AP/GO that
  22. supports WPS 2.0 (this makes it less likely to trigger extra roundtrip
  23. of identity frames)
  24. * add support for PMKSA caching with SAE
  25. * add support for control mesh BSS (IEEE 802.11s) operations

  30. EAPOL-Key descriptor version 3 when the station supports PMF even if
  31. PMF is not enabled on the AP
  32. * allow TLS v1.1 and v1.2 to be negotiated by default; previous behavior
  33. of disabling these can be configured to work around issues with broken
  34. servers with phase1="tls_disable_tlsv1_1=1 tls_disable_tlsv1_2=1"
  35. * add support for Suite B (128-bit and 192-bit level) key management and
  36. cipher suites
  37. * add WMM-AC support (WMM_AC_ADDTS/WMM_AC_DELTS)
  38. * improved BSS Transition Management processing
  39. * add support for neighbor report
  40. * add support for link measurement
  41. * fixed expiration of BSS entry with all-zeros BSSID
  42. * add optional LAST_ID=x argument to LIST_NETWORK to allow all
  43. configured networks to be listed even with huge number of network
  44. profiles
  45. * add support for EAP Re-Authentication Protocol (ERP)
  46. * fixed EAP-IKEv2 fragmentation reassembly
  47. * improved PKCS#11 configuration for OpenSSL
  48. * set stdout to be line-buffered
  49. * add TDLS channel switch configuration
  50. * add support for MAC address randomization in scans with nl80211
  51. * enable HT for IBSS if supported by the driver

  581. (p2p_no_group_iface=1)
  582. * fixed P2P Bonjour SD to match entries with both compressed and not
  583. compressed domain name format and support multiple Bonjour PTR matches
  584. for the same key

  651. before requesting a new scan after failing to find a suitable
  652. network in scan results) using scan_interval command.
  653. - Add event CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT for association rejected.
  654. - Add command get version, that returns wpa_supplicant version string.
  655. - Add command sta_autoconnect for disabling automatic reconnection
  656. on receiving disconnection event.
  657. - Setting bssid parameter to an empty string "" or any can now be

  659. bssid filtering.
  660. - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
  661. changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
  662. enabled as well.

  700. - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
  701. Number, and Serial Number changes.
  702. - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
  703. wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.

  705. failures up to 10.
  706. - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
  707. be compatible with Windows 7.
  708. - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
  709. user on how to resolve the issue.
  710. - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
  711. at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
  712. methods are advertised.
  713. - When controlling multiple interfaces:
  714. - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
  715. - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
  716. - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
  717. all interfaces
  718. * WPS ER:
  719. - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
  720. ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
  721. WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
  722. - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
  723. - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
  724. network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
  725. current AP settings with wps_er_learn.

  737. capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
  738. explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
  739. - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
  740. Use set tdls_disabled.
  741. - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
  742. - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use

  754. * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
  755. * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
  756. previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
  757. the list of channels for background scans.

  772. 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
  773. * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
  774. * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
  775. strength are present in scan results
  776. * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
  777. automatic detection of EAP parameters
  778. * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
  779. certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
  780. * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  781. configuration options
  782. * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
  783. tray messages
  784. * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
  785. * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  786. interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  787. compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  788. * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
  789. messages to reduce latency in showing these
  790. (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
  791. * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
  792. * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
  793. configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
  794. * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  795. backwards compatible with old versions
  796. * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
  797. and over-the-DS)
  798. * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
  799. selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
  800. * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
  801. dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
  802. the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
  803. ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
  804. configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
  805. signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
  806. scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
  807. (this is currently only available with nl80211)
  808. * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
  809. * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
  810. linguist and add German translation
  811. * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  812. * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
  813. enabled networks
  814. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  815. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  816. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  817. will need modifications
  818. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  819. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  820. single document
  821. * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
  822. avoid issues when roaming between APs
  823. * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
  824. (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  825. * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
  826. * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
  827. allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  828. * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
  829. receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
  830. * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
  831. wrapper
  832. * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
  833. over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
  834. * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
  835. the dialog is kept open
  836. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  837. * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
  838. unnecessary scans and to speed up association
  839. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  840. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  841. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  842. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  843. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  844. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  845. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  846. interface will be used
  847. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  848. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  849. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  850. with nl80211
  851. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  852. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  853. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  854. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  855. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  856. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  857. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  858. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  859. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  860. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  861. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  862. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  863. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  864. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  865. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  866. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  867. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  868. into wpa_supplicant
  869. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  870. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  871. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  872. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  873. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  874. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  875. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  876. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  877. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  878. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  879. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  880. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  881. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  882. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  883. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  884. address frames
  885. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  886. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  887. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  888. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  889. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  890. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  891. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  892. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  893. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  894. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  895. an ESS (same SSID)
  896. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  897. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  898. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  899. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  900. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  901. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  902. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  903. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  904. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  905. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  906. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  907. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  908. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  909. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  910. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  911. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  912. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  913. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  914. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  915. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  916. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  917. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  918. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  919. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  920. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  921. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  922. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  923. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  924. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  925. against TKIP deficiencies
  926. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  927. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  928. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  929. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  930. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  931. not bytes
  932. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  933. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  934. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  935. needed with that version anymore)
  936. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  937. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  938. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  939. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  940. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  941. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  942. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  943. about
  944. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  945. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  946. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  947. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  948. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  949. (IEEE 802.11w)
  950. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  951. use correct FTIE
  952. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  953. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  954. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  955. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  956. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  957. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  958. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  959. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  960. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  961. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  962. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  963. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  964. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  965. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  966. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  967. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  968. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  969. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  970. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  971. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  972. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  973. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  974. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  975. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  976. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  977. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  978. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  979. present random binary data)
  980. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  981. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  982. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  983. when an interface is added
  984. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  985. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  986. indicating when new scan results become available
  987. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  988. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  989. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  990. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  991. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  992. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  993. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  994. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  995. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  996. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  997. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  998. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  999. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  1000. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  1001. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  1002. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  1003. versions
  1004. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  1005. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  1006. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  1007. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  1008. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  1009. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  1010. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  1011. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  1012. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  1013. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  1014. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  1015. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  1016. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  1017. [Bug 237]
  1018. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  1019. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  1020. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  1021. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  1022. in .config
  1023. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  1024. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  1025. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  1026. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  1027. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  1028. work with new features
  1029. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  1030. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  1031. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  1032. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  1033. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  1034. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  1035. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  1036. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  1037. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  1038. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  1039. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  1040. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  1041. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  1042. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  1043. PAC-Opaque)
  1044. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  1045. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  1046. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  1047. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  1048. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  1049. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  1050. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  1051. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  1052. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  1053. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  1054. [Bug 232]
  1055. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  1056. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  1057. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  1058. buffer read overflow
  1059. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  1060. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  1061. be lost
  1062. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  1063. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  1064. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  1065. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  1066. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  1067. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  1068. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  1069. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  1070. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  1071. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  1072. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  1073. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  1074. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  1075. different)
  1076. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  1077. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  1078. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  1079. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  1080. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  1081. for PAC provisioning)
  1082. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  1083. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  1084. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  1085. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  1086. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  1087. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  1088. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  1089. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  1090. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  1091. added support for EAP-FAST
  1092. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  1093. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  1094. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  1095. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  1096. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  1097. (still experimental)
  1098. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  1099. if TLS library initialization fails
  1100. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  1101. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  1102. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  1103. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  1104. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  1105. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  1106. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  1107. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  1108. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  1109. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  1110. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  1111. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  1112. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  1113. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  1114. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  1115. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  1116. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  1117. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  1118. frame protection)
  1119. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  1120. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  1121. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  1122. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  1123. immediately without sending a command
  1124. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  1125. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  1126. use PIN)
  1127. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  1128. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  1129. partial AID
  1130. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  1131. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  1132. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  1133. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  1134. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  1135. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  1136. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  1137. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  1138. parameter is not exposed
  1139. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  1140. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  1141. (wide-char functions)
  1142. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  1143. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  1144. keys
  1145. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  1146. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  1147. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  1148. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  1149. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  1150. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  1151. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  1152. when determining whether there are pending messages
  1153. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  1154. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  1155. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  1156. localhost was used)
  1157. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  1158. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  1159. future versions)
  1160. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  1161. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  1162. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  1163. case when group is not changed
  1164. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  1165. Windows version
  1166. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  1167. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  1168. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  1169. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  1170. used even if the source address does not match with it
  1171. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  1172. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  1173. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  1174. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  1175. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  1176. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  1177. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  1178. implementation
  1179. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  1180. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  1181. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  1182. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  1183. USB) [Bug 113]
  1184. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  1185. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  1186. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  1187. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  1188. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  1189. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  1190. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  1191. to be enabled)
  1192. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  1193. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  1194. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  1195. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  1196. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  1197. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  1198. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  1199. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  1200. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  1201. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  1202. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  1203. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  1204. is terminated
  1205. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  1206. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  1207. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  1208. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  1209. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  1210. included)
  1211. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  1212. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  1213. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  1214. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  1215. a raw PSK (hex string)
  1216. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  1217. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  1218. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  1219. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  1220. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  1221. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  1222. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  1223. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  1224. status changes or when associating with a different network
  1225. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  1226. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  1227. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  1228. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  1229. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  1230. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  1231. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  1232. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  1233. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  1234. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  1235. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  1236. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  1237. handle
  1238. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  1239. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  1240. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  1241. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  1242. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  1243. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  1244. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  1245. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  1246. only one application to open the device
  1247. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  1248. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  1249. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  1250. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  1251. when specifying the interface
  1252. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  1253. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  1254. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  1255. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  1256. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  1257. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  1258. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  1259. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  1260. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  1261. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  1262. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  1263. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  1264. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  1265. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  1266. in Windows registry
  1267. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  1268. Windows registry
  1269. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  1270. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  1271. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  1272. that can use this information)
  1273. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  1274. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  1275. [Bug 140]
  1276. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  1277. primitive
  1278. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  1279. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  1280. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  1281. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  1282. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  1283. on how to use this)
  1284. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  1285. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  1286. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  1287. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  1288. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  1289. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  1290. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  1291. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  1292. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  1293. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  1294. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  1295. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  1296. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  1297. instead of a static list generated at build time
  1298. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  1299. removing PMKSA entries
  1300. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  1301. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  1302. WPA/RSN IE
  1303. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  1304. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  1305. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  1306. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  1307. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  1308. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  1309. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  1310. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  1311. option can be changed if needed
  1312. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  1313. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  1314. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  1315. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  1316. recommended)
  1317. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  1318. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  1319. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  1320. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  1321. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  1322. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  1323. not likely to happen in real use.
  1324. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  1325. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  1326. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  1327. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  1328. ap_scan=2)
  1329. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  1330. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  1331. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  1332. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  1333. and stakey=1)
  1334. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  1335. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  1336. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  1337. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  1338. other C libraries and compilers
  1339. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  1340. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  1341. code more portable
  1342. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  1343. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  1344. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  1345. example makefile for nmake
  1346. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  1347. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  1348. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  1349. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  1350. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  1351. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  1352. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  1353. unregister a service
  1354. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  1355. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  1356. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  1357. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  1358. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  1359. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  1360. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  1361. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  1362. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  1363. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  1364. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  1365. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  1366. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  1367. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  1368. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  1369. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  1370. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  1371. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  1372. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  1373. 3 ms
  1374. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  1375. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  1376. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  1377. configuration blob
  1378. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  1379. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  1380. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  1381. session resumption
  1382. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  1383. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  1384. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  1385. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  1386. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  1387. easily on cross-compilation builds
  1388. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  1389. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  1390. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  1391. Windows service
  1392. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  1393. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  1394. release since it is not needed anymore
  1395. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  1396. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  1397. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  1398. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  1399. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  1400. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  1401. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  1402. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  1403. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  1404. during handshake
  1405. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  1406. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  1407. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  1408. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  1409. would get
  1410. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  1411. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  1412. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  1413. cannot be parsed successfully
  1414. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  1415. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  1416. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  1417. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  1418. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  1419. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  1420. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  1421. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  1422. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  1423. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  1424. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  1425. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  1426. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  1427. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  1428. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  1429. private_key
  1430. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  1431. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  1432. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  1433. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  1434. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  1435. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  1436. system-wide trusted CA list
  1437. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  1438. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  1439. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  1440. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  1441. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  1442. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  1443. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  1444. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  1445. wpa_supplicant process
  1446. * wpa_gui:
  1447. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  1448. - added WEP key configuration
  1449. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  1450. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  1451. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  1452. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  1453. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  1454. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  1455. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  1456. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  1457. EAP authentication immediately after association
  1458. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  1459. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  1460. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  1461. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  1462. generate, e.g., man pages
  1463. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  1464. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  1465. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  1466. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  1467. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  1468. frame
  1469. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  1470. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  1471. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  1472. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  1473. Ethernet
  1474. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  1475. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  1476. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  1477. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  1478. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  1479. these multicast addresses by default
  1480. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  1481. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  1482. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  1483. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  1484. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  1485. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  1486. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  1487. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  1488. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  1489. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  1490. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  1491. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  1492. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  1493. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  1494. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  1495. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  1496. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  1497. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  1498. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  1499. this with private_key)
  1500. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  1501. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  1502. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  1503. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  1504. with drivers that do not support WPA
  1505. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  1506. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  1507. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  1508. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  1509. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  1510. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  1511. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  1512. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  1513. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  1514. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  1515. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  1516. the control interface, for example:
  1517. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  1518. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  1519. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  1520. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  1521. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1522. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1523. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  1524. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  1525. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  1526. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  1527. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  1528. open network configuration)
  1529. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  1530. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  1531. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  1532. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  1533. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  1534. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  1535. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  1536. (l2_packet_*.c)
  1537. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  1538. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  1539. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  1540. this)
  1541. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  1542. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  1543. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  1544. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  1545. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  1546. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  1547. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  1548. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  1549. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  1550. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  1551. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  1552. NDIS drivers
  1553. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  1554. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  1555. configuration file
  1556. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  1557. processing
  1558. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  1559. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  1560. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  1561. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  1562. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  1563. the key in this case
  1564. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  1565. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  1566. driver_ops function set_param()
  1567. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  1568. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  1569. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  1570. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  1571. entered as a number, not group name
  1572. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  1573. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  1574. cards
  1575. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  1576. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  1577. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  1578. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  1579. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  1580. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  1581. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  1582. authentication session
  1583. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  1584. password has expired)
  1585. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  1586. and adding them to the certificate chain
  1587. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  1588. were used
  1589. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  1590. identity or password is entered through control interface
  1591. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  1592. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  1593. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  1594. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  1595. Qt development tools)
  1596. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  1597. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  1598. 'reassociate' command has been used
  1599. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  1600. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  1601. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  1602. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  1603. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  1604. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1605. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1606. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  1607. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  1608. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  1609. debugging code is not needed
  1610. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  1611. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  1612. overflow
  1613. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  1614. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  1615. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  1616. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  1617. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  1618. but they may be removed in the future)
  1619. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  1620. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  1621. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  1622. interoperate with some authentication servers
  1623. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  1624. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  1625. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  1626. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  1627. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  1628. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  1629. delayed until the PIN is available
  1630. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  1631. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  1632. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  1633. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  1634. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  1635. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  1636. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  1637. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  1638. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  1639. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  1640. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  1641. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  1642. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  1643. events
  1644. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  1645. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  1646. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  1647. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  1648. using assoc_info events
  1649. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  1650. process id into a file
  1651. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  1652. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  1653. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  1654. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  1655. authentication servers
  1656. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  1657. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  1658. ap_scan=2)
  1659. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  1660. identity/password/otp
  1661. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  1662. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  1663. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  1664. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  1665. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  1666. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  1667. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  1668. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  1669. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  1670. when no matching AP is found
  1671. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  1672. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  1673. when using WPA2-PSK
  1674. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  1675. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  1676. retransmission of dropped frames)
  1677. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  1678. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  1679. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  1680. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  1681. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  1682. requires EAP workarounds
  1683. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  1684. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  1685. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  1686. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  1687. authentication attempt
  1688. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  1689. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  1690. verified)
  1691. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  1692. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  1693. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  1694. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  1695. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  1696. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  1697. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  1698. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  1699. supports WPA-None)
  1700. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  1701. mingw
  1702. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  1703. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  1704. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  1705. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  1706. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  1707. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  1708. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  1709. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  1710. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  1711. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  1712. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  1713. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  1714. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  1715. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  1716. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  1717. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  1718. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  1719. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  1720. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  1721. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  1722. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  1723. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  1724. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  1725. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  1726. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  1727. running)
  1728. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  1729. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  1730. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  1731. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  1732. the interface name
  1733. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  1734. file
  1735. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  1736. when exiting
  1737. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  1738. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  1739. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  1740. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  1741. information
  1742. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  1743. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  1744. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  1745. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  1746. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  1747. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  1748. authentication
  1749. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  1750. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  1751. unicast key)
  1752. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  1753. drivers
  1754. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  1755. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  1756. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  1757. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  1758. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  1759. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  1760. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  1761. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  1762. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  1763. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  1764. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  1765. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  1766. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  1767. group, proto variables
  1768. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  1769. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  1770. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  1771. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  1772. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  1773. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  1774. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  1775. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  1776. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  1777. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  1778. the association
  1779. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  1780. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  1781. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  1782. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  1783. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  1784. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  1785. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  1786. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  1787. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  1788. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  1789. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  1790. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  1791. reply
  1792. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  1793. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  1794. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  1795. label which is thus more suitable default option
  1796. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  1797. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  1798. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  1799. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  1800. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  1801. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  1802. WEP keys)
  1803. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  1804. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  1805. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  1806. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  1807. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  1808. session resumption)
  1809. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  1810. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  1811. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  1812. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  1813. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  1814. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  1815. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  1816. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  1817. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  1818. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  1819. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  1820. drivers expect this
  1821. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  1822. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  1823. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  1824. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  1825. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  1826. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  1827. v17 or newer
  1828. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  1829. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  1830. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  1831. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  1832. forever
  1833. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  1834. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  1835. argument to match the previous behavior
  1836. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  1837. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  1838. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  1839. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  1840. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  1841. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  1842. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  1843. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  1844. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  1845. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  1846. association
  1847. * changed driver interface API:
  1848. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  1849. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  1850. not defined)
  1851. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  1852. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  1853. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  1854. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  1855. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  1856. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  1857. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  1858. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  1859. sequential EAP packets
  1860. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  1861. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  1862. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  1863. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  1864. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  1865. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  1866. configuration
  1867. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  1868. IEs than just one WPA IE
  1869. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1870. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  1871. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  1872. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  1873. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  1874. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1875. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  1876. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  1877. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  1878. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  1879. for the broadcast key
  1880. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  1881. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  1882. WPA
  1883. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  1884. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  1885. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  1886. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  1887. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  1888. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  1889. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  1890. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  1891. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  1892. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  1893. supporting wireless extensions.
  1894. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  1895. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  1896. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1897. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  1898. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  1899. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  1900. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  1901. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  1902. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  1903. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  1904. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1905. started again
  1906. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1907. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1908. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1909. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1910. frontend is attached
  1911. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1912. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1913. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1914. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1915. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1916. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1917. the control interface;
  1918. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1919. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1920. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1921. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1922. * added support for LEAP
  1923. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1924. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1925. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1926. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1927. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1928. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1929. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1930. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1931. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1932. TLS processing
  1933. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1934. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1935. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1936. automatically)
  1937. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1938. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1939. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1940. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1941. from the station)
  1942. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1943. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1944. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1945. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1946. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1947. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1948. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1949. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1950. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1951. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1952. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1953. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1954. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1955. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1956. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1957. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1958. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1959. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1960. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1961. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1962. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1963. EAP-GTC
  1964. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1965. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1966. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1967. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1968. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1969. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1970. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1971. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1972. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1973. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1974. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1975. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1976. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1977. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1978. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1979. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1980. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1981. anyway for TLS)
  1982. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1983. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1984. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1985. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1986. Supplicant
  1987. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1988. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1989. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1990. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1991. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1992. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1993. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1994. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1995. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1996. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1997. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1998. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1999. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  2000. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  2001. option
  2002. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  2003. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  2004. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  2005. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  2006. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  2007. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  2008. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  2009. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  2010. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  2011. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  2012. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  2013. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  2014. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  2015. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  2016. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  2017. wpa_supplicant
  2018. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  2019. mode
  2020. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  2021. * made some feature compile time configurable
  2022. - .config file for make
  2023. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  2024. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  2025. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  2026. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
