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