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