  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. 2012-05-10 - v1.0
  3. * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
  4. * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
  5. This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
  6. Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
  7. available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
  8. Disassoc frames (nl80211).
  9. * Drop oldest unknown BSS table entries first. This makes it less
  10. likely to hit connection issues in environments with huge number
  11. of visible APs.
  12. * Add systemd support.
  13. * Add support for setting the syslog facility from the config file
  14. at build time.
  15. * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
  16. * AP mode: Allow enable HT20 if driver supports it, by setting the
  17. config parameter ieee80211n.
  18. * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
  19. the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
  20. going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
  21. config option disassoc_low_ack.
  22. * nl80211:
  23. - Support GTK rekey offload.
  24. - Support PMKSA candidate events. This adds support for RSN
  25. pre-authentication with nl80211 interface and drivers that handle
  26. roaming internally.
  27. * dbus:
  28. - Add a DBus signal for EAP SM requests, emitted on the Interface
  29. object.
  30. - Export max scan ssids supported by the driver as MaxScanSSID.
  31. - Add signal Certification for information about server certification.
  32. - Add BSSExpireAge and BSSExpireCount interface properties and
  33. support set/get, which allows for setting BSS cache expiration age
  34. and expiration scan count.
  35. - Add ConfigFile to AddInterface properties.
  36. - Add Interface.Country property and support to get/set the value.
  37. - Add DBus property CurrentAuthMode.
  38. - P2P DBus API added.
  39. - Emit property changed events (for property BSSs) when adding/
  40. removing BSSs.
  41. - Treat '' in SSIDs of Interface.Scan as a request for broadcast
  42. scan, instead of ignoring it.
  43. - Add DBus getter/setter for FastReauth.
  44. - Raise PropertiesChanged on org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.
  45. * wpa_cli:
  46. - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
  47. due to inactivity.
  48. - Make second argument to set command optional. This can be used to
  49. indicate a zero length value.
  50. - Add signal_poll command.
  51. - Add bss_expire_age and bss_expire_count commands to set/get BSS
  52. cache expiration age and expiration scan count.
  53. - Add ability to set scan interval (the time in seconds wpa_s waits
  54. before requesting a new scan after failing to find a suitable
  55. network in scan results) using scan_interval command.
  56. - Add event CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT for association rejected.
  57. - Add command get version, that returns wpa_supplicant version string.
  58. - Add command sta_autoconnect for disabling automatic reconnection
  59. on receiving disconnection event.
  60. - Setting bssid parameter to an empty string "" or any can now be
  61. used to clear the bssid_set flag in a network block, i.e., to remove
  62. bssid filtering.
  63. - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
  64. changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
  65. enabled as well.
  66. - For interworking, add wpa_cli commands interworking_select,
  67. interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp, and stop_fetch_anqp.
  68. - Many P2P commands were added. See README-P2P.
  69. - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
  70. - Allow set command to change global config parameters.
  71. - Add log_level command, which can be used to display the current
  72. debugging level and to change the log level during run time.
  73. - Add note command, which can be used to insert notes to the debug
  74. log.
  75. - Add internal line edit implementation. CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y
  76. can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal implementation of
  77. line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement
  78. for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
  79. * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit
  80. the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP.
  81. * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
  82. config file.
  83. * wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds.
  84. * Add blacklist command, allowing an external program to
  85. manage the BSS blacklist and display its current contents.
  86. * WPS:
  87. - Add wpa_cli wps_pin get command for generating random PINs. This can
  88. be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P)
  89. operation.
  90. - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding
  91. them.
  92. - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
  93. - Add CONFIG_WPS_REG_DISABLE_OPEN=y option to disable open networks
  94. by default.
  95. - Add wps_ap_pin cli command for wpa_supplicant AP mode.
  96. - Add wps_check_pin cli command for processing PIN from user input.
  97. UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
  98. validate the checksum digit (if present).
  99. - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection.
  100. - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS
  101. operation.
  102. - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers.
  103. - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
  104. Number, and Serial Number changes.
  105. - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
  106. wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.
  107. - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks on
  108. failures up to 10.
  109. - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
  110. be compatible with Windows 7.
  111. - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
  112. user on how to resolve the issue.
  113. - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
  114. at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
  115. methods are advertised.
  116. - When controlling multiple interfaces:
  117. - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
  118. - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
  119. - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
  120. all interfaces
  121. * WPS ER:
  122. - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
  123. ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
  124. WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
  125. - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
  126. - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
  127. network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
  128. current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
  129. - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for
  130. learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP.
  131. * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
  132. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
  133. for testing protocol extensibility.
  134. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
  135. workarounds.
  136. - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
  137. * TDLS:
  138. - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and
  139. add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
  140. capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
  141. explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
  142. - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
  143. Use set tdls_disabled.
  144. - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
  145. - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use
  146. CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime
  147. with tdls_testing cli command.
  148. - Add support for TDLS 802.11z.
  149. * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
  150. wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
  151. for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
  152. * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
  153. CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters
  154. for interworking. wpa_cli commands added to support this are
  155. interworking_select, interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp,
  156. and stop_fetch_anqp.
  157. * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
  158. * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
  159. previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
  160. the list of channels for background scans.
  161. * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
  162. -ddd to enable.
  163. * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
  164. * Internal TLS:
  165. - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
  166. CONFIG_TLSV11.
  167. - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names.
  168. * Linux: Add RFKill support by adding an interface state "disabled".
  169. * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
  170. WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
  171. Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
  172. * Solaris: Add support for wired 802.1X client.
  173. * Wi-Fi Direct support. See README-P2P for more information.
  174. * Many bugfixes.
  175. 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
  176. * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
  177. * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
  178. strength are present in scan results
  179. * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
  180. automatic detection of EAP parameters
  181. * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
  182. certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
  183. * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  184. configuration options
  185. * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
  186. tray messages
  187. * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
  188. * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  189. interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  190. compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  191. * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
  192. messages to reduce latency in showing these
  193. (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
  194. * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
  195. * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
  196. configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
  197. * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  198. backwards compatible with old versions
  199. * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
  200. and over-the-DS)
  201. * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
  202. selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
  203. * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
  204. dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
  205. the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
  206. ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
  207. configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
  208. signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
  209. scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
  210. (this is currently only available with nl80211)
  211. * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
  212. * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
  213. linguist and add German translation
  214. * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  215. * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
  216. enabled networks
  217. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  218. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  219. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  220. will need modifications
  221. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  222. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  223. single document
  224. * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
  225. avoid issues when roaming between APs
  226. * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
  227. (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  228. * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
  229. * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
  230. allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  231. * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
  232. receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
  233. * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
  234. wrapper
  235. * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
  236. over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
  237. * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
  238. the dialog is kept open
  239. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  240. * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
  241. unnecessary scans and to speed up association
  242. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  243. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  244. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  245. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  246. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  247. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  248. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  249. interface will be used
  250. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  251. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  252. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  253. with nl80211
  254. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  255. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  256. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  257. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  258. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  259. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  260. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  261. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  262. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  263. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  264. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  265. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  266. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  267. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  268. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  269. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  270. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  271. into wpa_supplicant
  272. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  273. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  274. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  275. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  276. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  277. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  278. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  279. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  280. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  281. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  282. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  283. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  284. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  285. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  286. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  287. address frames
  288. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  289. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  290. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  291. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  292. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  293. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  294. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  295. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  296. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  297. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  298. an ESS (same SSID)
  299. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  300. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  301. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  302. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  303. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  304. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  305. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  306. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  307. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  308. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  309. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  310. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  311. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  312. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  313. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  314. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  315. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  316. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  317. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  318. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  319. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  320. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  321. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  322. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  323. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  324. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  325. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  326. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  327. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  328. against TKIP deficiencies
  329. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  330. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  331. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  332. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  333. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  334. not bytes
  335. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  336. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  337. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  338. needed with that version anymore)
  339. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  340. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  341. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  342. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  343. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  344. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  345. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  346. about
  347. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  348. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  349. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  350. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  351. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  352. (IEEE 802.11w)
  353. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  354. use correct FTIE
  355. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  356. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  357. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  358. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  359. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  360. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  361. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  362. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  363. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  364. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  365. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  366. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  367. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  368. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  369. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  370. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  371. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  372. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  373. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  374. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  375. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  376. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  377. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  378. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  379. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  380. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  381. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  382. present random binary data)
  383. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  384. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  385. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  386. when an interface is added
  387. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  388. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  389. indicating when new scan results become available
  390. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  391. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  392. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  393. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  394. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  395. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  396. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  397. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  398. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  399. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  400. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  401. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  402. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  403. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  404. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  405. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  406. versions
  407. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  408. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  409. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  410. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  411. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  412. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  413. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  414. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  415. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  416. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  417. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  418. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  419. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  420. [Bug 237]
  421. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  422. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  423. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  424. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  425. in .config
  426. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  427. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  428. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  429. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  430. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  431. work with new features
  432. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  433. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  434. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  435. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  436. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  437. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  438. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  439. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  440. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  441. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  442. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  443. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  444. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  445. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  446. PAC-Opaque)
  447. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  448. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  449. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  450. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  451. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  452. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  453. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  454. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  455. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  456. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  457. [Bug 232]
  458. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  459. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  460. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  461. buffer read overflow
  462. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  463. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  464. be lost
  465. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  466. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  467. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  468. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  469. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  470. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  471. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  472. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  473. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  474. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  475. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  476. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  477. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  478. different)
  479. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  480. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  481. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  482. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  483. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  484. for PAC provisioning)
  485. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  486. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  487. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  488. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  489. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  490. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  491. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  492. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  493. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  494. added support for EAP-FAST
  495. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  496. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  497. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  498. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  499. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  500. (still experimental)
  501. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  502. if TLS library initialization fails
  503. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  504. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  505. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  506. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  507. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  508. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  509. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  510. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  511. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  512. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  513. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  514. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  515. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  516. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  517. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  518. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  519. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  520. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  521. frame protection)
  522. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  523. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  524. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  525. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  526. immediately without sending a command
  527. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  528. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  529. use PIN)
  530. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  531. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  532. partial AID
  533. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  534. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  535. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  536. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  537. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  538. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  539. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  540. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  541. parameter is not exposed
  542. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  543. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  544. (wide-char functions)
  545. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  546. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  547. keys
  548. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  549. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  550. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  551. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  552. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  553. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  554. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  555. when determining whether there are pending messages
  556. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  557. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  558. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  559. localhost was used)
  560. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  561. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  562. future versions)
  563. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  564. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  565. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  566. case when group is not changed
  567. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  568. Windows version
  569. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  570. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  571. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  572. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  573. used even if the source address does not match with it
  574. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  575. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  576. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  577. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  578. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  579. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  580. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  581. implementation
  582. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  583. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  584. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  585. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  586. USB) [Bug 113]
  587. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  588. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  589. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  590. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  591. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  592. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  593. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  594. to be enabled)
  595. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  596. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  597. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  598. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  599. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  600. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  601. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  602. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  603. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  604. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  605. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  606. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  607. is terminated
  608. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  609. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  610. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  611. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  612. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  613. included)
  614. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  615. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  616. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  617. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  618. a raw PSK (hex string)
  619. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  620. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  621. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  622. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  623. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  624. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  625. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  626. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  627. status changes or when associating with a different network
  628. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  629. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  630. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  631. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  632. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  633. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  634. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  635. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  636. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  637. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  638. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  639. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  640. handle
  641. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  642. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  643. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  644. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  645. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  646. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  647. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  648. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  649. only one application to open the device
  650. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  651. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  652. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  653. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  654. when specifying the interface
  655. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  656. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  657. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  658. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  659. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  660. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  661. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  662. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  663. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  664. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  665. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  666. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  667. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  668. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  669. in Windows registry
  670. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  671. Windows registry
  672. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  673. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  674. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  675. that can use this information)
  676. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  677. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  678. [Bug 140]
  679. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  680. primitive
  681. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  682. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  683. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  684. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  685. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  686. on how to use this)
  687. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  688. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  689. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  690. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  691. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  692. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  693. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  694. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  695. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  696. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  697. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  698. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  699. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  700. instead of a static list generated at build time
  701. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  702. removing PMKSA entries
  703. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  704. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  705. WPA/RSN IE
  706. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  707. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  708. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  709. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  710. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  711. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  712. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  713. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  714. option can be changed if needed
  715. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  716. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  717. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  718. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  719. recommended)
  720. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  721. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  722. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  723. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  724. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  725. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  726. not likely to happen in real use.
  727. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  728. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  729. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  730. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  731. ap_scan=2)
  732. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  733. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  734. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  735. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  736. and stakey=1)
  737. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  738. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  739. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  740. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  741. other C libraries and compilers
  742. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  743. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  744. code more portable
  745. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  746. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  747. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  748. example makefile for nmake
  749. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  750. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  751. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  752. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  753. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  754. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  755. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  756. unregister a service
  757. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  758. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  759. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  760. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  761. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  762. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  763. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  764. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  765. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  766. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  767. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  768. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  769. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  770. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  771. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  772. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  773. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  774. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  775. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  776. 3 ms
  777. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  778. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  779. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  780. configuration blob
  781. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  782. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  783. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  784. session resumption
  785. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  786. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  787. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  788. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  789. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  790. easily on cross-compilation builds
  791. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  792. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  793. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  794. Windows service
  795. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  796. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  797. release since it is not needed anymore
  798. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  799. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  800. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  801. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  802. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  803. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  804. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  805. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  806. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  807. during handshake
  808. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  809. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  810. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  811. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  812. would get
  813. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  814. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  815. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  816. cannot be parsed successfully
  817. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  818. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  819. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  820. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  821. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  822. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  823. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  824. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  825. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  826. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  827. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  828. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  829. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  830. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  831. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  832. private_key
  833. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  834. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  835. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  836. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  837. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  838. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  839. system-wide trusted CA list
  840. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  841. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  842. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  843. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  844. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  845. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  846. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  847. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  848. wpa_supplicant process
  849. * wpa_gui:
  850. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  851. - added WEP key configuration
  852. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  853. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  854. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  855. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  856. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  857. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  858. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  859. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  860. EAP authentication immediately after association
  861. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  862. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  863. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  864. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  865. generate, e.g., man pages
  866. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  867. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  868. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  869. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  870. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  871. frame
  872. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  873. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  874. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  875. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  876. Ethernet
  877. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  878. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  879. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  880. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  881. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  882. these multicast addresses by default
  883. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  884. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  885. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  886. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  887. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  888. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  889. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  890. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  891. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  892. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  893. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  894. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  895. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  896. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  897. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  898. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  899. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  900. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  901. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  902. this with private_key)
  903. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  904. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  905. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  906. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  907. with drivers that do not support WPA
  908. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  909. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  910. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  911. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  912. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  913. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  914. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  915. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  916. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  917. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  918. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  919. the control interface, for example:
  920. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  921. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  922. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  923. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  924. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  925. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  926. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  927. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  928. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  929. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  930. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  931. open network configuration)
  932. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  933. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  934. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  935. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  936. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  937. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  938. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  939. (l2_packet_*.c)
  940. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  941. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  942. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  943. this)
  944. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  945. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  946. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  947. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  948. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  949. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  950. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  951. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  952. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  953. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  954. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  955. NDIS drivers
  956. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  957. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  958. configuration file
  959. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  960. processing
  961. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  962. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  963. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  964. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  965. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  966. the key in this case
  967. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  968. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  969. driver_ops function set_param()
  970. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  971. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  972. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  973. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  974. entered as a number, not group name
  975. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  976. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  977. cards
  978. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  979. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  980. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  981. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  982. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  983. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  984. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  985. authentication session
  986. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  987. password has expired)
  988. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  989. and adding them to the certificate chain
  990. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  991. were used
  992. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  993. identity or password is entered through control interface
  994. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  995. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  996. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  997. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  998. Qt development tools)
  999. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  1000. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  1001. 'reassociate' command has been used
  1002. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  1003. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  1004. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  1005. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  1006. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  1007. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1008. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1009. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  1010. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  1011. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  1012. debugging code is not needed
  1013. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  1014. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  1015. overflow
  1016. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  1017. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  1018. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  1019. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  1020. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  1021. but they may be removed in the future)
  1022. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  1023. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  1024. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  1025. interoperate with some authentication servers
  1026. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  1027. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  1028. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  1029. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  1030. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  1031. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  1032. delayed until the PIN is available
  1033. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  1034. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  1035. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  1036. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  1037. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  1038. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  1039. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  1040. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  1041. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  1042. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  1043. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  1044. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  1045. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  1046. events
  1047. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  1048. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  1049. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  1050. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  1051. using assoc_info events
  1052. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  1053. process id into a file
  1054. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  1055. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  1056. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  1057. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  1058. authentication servers
  1059. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  1060. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  1061. ap_scan=2)
  1062. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  1063. identity/password/otp
  1064. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  1065. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  1066. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  1067. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  1068. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  1069. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  1070. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  1071. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  1072. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  1073. when no matching AP is found
  1074. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  1075. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  1076. when using WPA2-PSK
  1077. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  1078. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  1079. retransmission of dropped frames)
  1080. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  1081. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  1082. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  1083. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  1084. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  1085. requires EAP workarounds
  1086. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  1087. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  1088. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  1089. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  1090. authentication attempt
  1091. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  1092. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  1093. verified)
  1094. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  1095. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  1096. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  1097. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  1098. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  1099. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  1100. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  1101. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  1102. supports WPA-None)
  1103. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  1104. mingw
  1105. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  1106. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  1107. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  1108. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  1109. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  1110. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  1111. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  1112. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  1113. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  1114. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  1115. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  1116. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  1117. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  1118. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  1119. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  1120. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  1121. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  1122. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  1123. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  1124. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  1125. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  1126. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  1127. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  1128. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  1129. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  1130. running)
  1131. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  1132. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  1133. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  1134. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  1135. the interface name
  1136. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  1137. file
  1138. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  1139. when exiting
  1140. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  1141. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  1142. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  1143. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  1144. information
  1145. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  1146. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  1147. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  1148. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  1149. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  1150. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  1151. authentication
  1152. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  1153. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  1154. unicast key)
  1155. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  1156. drivers
  1157. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  1158. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  1159. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  1160. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  1161. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  1162. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  1163. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  1164. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  1165. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  1166. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  1167. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  1168. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  1169. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  1170. group, proto variables
  1171. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  1172. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  1173. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  1174. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  1175. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  1176. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  1177. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  1178. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  1179. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  1180. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  1181. the association
  1182. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  1183. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  1184. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  1185. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  1186. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  1187. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  1188. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  1189. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  1190. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  1191. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  1192. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  1193. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  1194. reply
  1195. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  1196. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  1197. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  1198. label which is thus more suitable default option
  1199. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  1200. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  1201. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  1202. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  1203. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  1204. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  1205. WEP keys)
  1206. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  1207. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  1208. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  1209. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  1210. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  1211. session resumption)
  1212. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  1213. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  1214. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  1215. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  1216. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  1217. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  1218. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  1219. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  1220. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  1221. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  1222. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  1223. drivers expect this
  1224. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  1225. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  1226. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  1227. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  1228. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  1229. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  1230. v17 or newer
  1231. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  1232. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  1233. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  1234. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  1235. forever
  1236. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  1237. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  1238. argument to match the previous behavior
  1239. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  1240. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  1241. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  1242. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  1243. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  1244. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  1245. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  1246. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  1247. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  1248. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  1249. association
  1250. * changed driver interface API:
  1251. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  1252. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  1253. not defined)
  1254. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  1255. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  1256. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  1257. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  1258. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  1259. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  1260. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  1261. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  1262. sequential EAP packets
  1263. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  1264. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  1265. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  1266. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  1267. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  1268. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  1269. configuration
  1270. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  1271. IEs than just one WPA IE
  1272. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1273. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  1274. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  1275. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  1276. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  1277. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1278. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  1279. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  1280. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  1281. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  1282. for the broadcast key
  1283. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  1284. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  1285. WPA
  1286. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  1287. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  1288. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  1289. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  1290. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  1291. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  1292. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  1293. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  1294. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  1295. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  1296. supporting wireless extensions.
  1297. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  1298. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  1299. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1300. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  1301. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  1302. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  1303. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  1304. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  1305. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  1306. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  1307. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1308. started again
  1309. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1310. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1311. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1312. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1313. frontend is attached
  1314. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1315. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1316. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1317. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1318. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1319. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1320. the control interface;
  1321. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1322. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1323. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1324. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1325. * added support for LEAP
  1326. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1327. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1328. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1329. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1330. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1331. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1332. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1333. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1334. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1335. TLS processing
  1336. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1337. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1338. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1339. automatically)
  1340. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1341. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1342. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1343. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1344. from the station)
  1345. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1346. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1347. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1348. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1349. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1350. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1351. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1352. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1353. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1354. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1355. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1356. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1357. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1358. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1359. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1360. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1361. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1362. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1363. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1364. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1365. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1366. EAP-GTC
  1367. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1368. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1369. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1370. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1371. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1372. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1373. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1374. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1375. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1376. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1377. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1378. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1379. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1380. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1381. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1382. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1383. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1384. anyway for TLS)
  1385. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1386. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1387. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1388. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1389. Supplicant
  1390. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1391. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1392. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1393. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1394. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1395. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1396. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1397. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1398. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1399. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1400. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1401. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1402. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1403. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1404. option
  1405. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1406. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1407. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1408. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1409. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1410. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1411. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1412. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1413. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1414. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1415. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1416. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1417. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1418. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1419. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1420. wpa_supplicant
  1421. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1422. mode
  1423. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1424. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1425. - .config file for make
  1426. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1427. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1428. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1429. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
