  56. * EAP-AKA: keep pseudonym identity across EAP exchanges to match EAP-SIM
  57. behavior
  58. * improved reassociation behavior in cases where association is rejected
  59. or when an AP disconnects us to handle common load balancing
  60. mechanisms

  216. (p2p_no_group_iface=1)
  217. * fixed P2P Bonjour SD to match entries with both compressed and not
  218. compressed domain name format and support multiple Bonjour PTR matches
  219. for the same key

  284. cache expiration age and expiration scan count.
  285. - Add ability to set scan interval (the time in seconds wpa_s waits
  286. before requesting a new scan after failing to find a suitable
  287. network in scan results) using scan_interval command.
  288. - Add event CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT for association rejected.
  289. - Add command get version, that returns wpa_supplicant version string.
  290. - Add command sta_autoconnect for disabling automatic reconnection
  291. on receiving disconnection event.
  292. - Setting bssid parameter to an empty string "" or any can now be

  294. bssid filtering.
  295. - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
  296. changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
  297. enabled as well.

  309. line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement
  310. for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
  311. * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit
  312. the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP.

  330. validate the checksum digit (if present).
  331. - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection.
  332. - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS
  333. operation.
  334. - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers.
  335. - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
  336. Number, and Serial Number changes.
  337. - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
  338. wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.
  339. - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks on
  340. failures up to 10.
  341. - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
  342. be compatible with Windows 7.
  343. - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
  344. user on how to resolve the issue.
  345. - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
  346. at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
  347. methods are advertised.
  348. - When controlling multiple interfaces:
  349. - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
  350. - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
  351. - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
  352. all interfaces
  353. * WPS ER:
  354. - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
  355. ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
  356. WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
  357. - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
  358. - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
  359. network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
  360. current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
  361. - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for
  362. learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP.

  371. add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
  372. capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
  373. explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
  374. - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
  375. Use set tdls_disabled.
  376. - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
  377. - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use
  378. CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime
  379. with tdls_testing cli command.
  380. - Add support for TDLS 802.11z.
  381. * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
  382. wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
  383. for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
  384. * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
  385. CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters

  388. and stop_fetch_anqp.
  389. * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
  390. * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
  391. previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
  392. the list of channels for background scans.

  407. 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
  408. * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
  409. * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
  410. strength are present in scan results
  411. * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
  412. automatic detection of EAP parameters
  413. * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
  414. certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
  415. * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  416. configuration options
  417. * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
  418. tray messages
  419. * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
  420. * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  421. interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  422. compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  423. * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
  424. messages to reduce latency in showing these
  425. (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
  426. * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
  427. * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
  428. configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
  429. * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  430. backwards compatible with old versions
  431. * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
  432. and over-the-DS)
  433. * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
  434. selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
  435. * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
  436. dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
  437. the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
  438. ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
  439. configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
  440. signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
  441. scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
  442. (this is currently only available with nl80211)
  443. * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
  444. * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
  445. linguist and add German translation
  446. * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  447. * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
  448. enabled networks
  449. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  450. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  451. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  452. will need modifications
  453. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  454. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  455. single document
  456. * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
  457. avoid issues when roaming between APs
  458. * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
  459. (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  460. * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
  461. * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
  462. allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  463. * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
  464. receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
  465. * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
  466. wrapper
  467. * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
  468. over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
  469. * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
  470. the dialog is kept open
  471. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  472. * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
  473. unnecessary scans and to speed up association
  474. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  475. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  476. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  477. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  478. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  479. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  480. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  481. interface will be used
  482. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  483. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  484. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  485. with nl80211
  486. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  487. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  488. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  489. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  490. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  491. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  492. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  493. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  494. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  495. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  496. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  497. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  498. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  499. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  500. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  501. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  502. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  503. into wpa_supplicant
  504. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  505. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  506. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  507. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  508. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  509. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  510. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  511. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  512. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  513. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  514. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  515. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  516. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  517. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  518. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  519. address frames
  520. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  521. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  522. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  523. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  524. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  525. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  526. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  527. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  528. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  529. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  530. an ESS (same SSID)
  531. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  532. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  533. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  534. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  535. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  536. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  537. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  538. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  539. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  540. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  541. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  542. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  543. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  544. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  545. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  546. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  547. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  548. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  549. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  550. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  551. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  552. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  553. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  554. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  555. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  556. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  557. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  558. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  559. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  560. against TKIP deficiencies
  561. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  562. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  563. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  564. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  565. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  566. not bytes
  567. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  568. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  569. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  570. needed with that version anymore)
  571. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  572. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  573. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  574. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  575. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  576. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  577. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  578. about
  579. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  580. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  581. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  582. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  583. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  584. (IEEE 802.11w)
  585. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  586. use correct FTIE
  587. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  588. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  589. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  590. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  591. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  592. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  593. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  594. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  595. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  596. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  597. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  598. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  599. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  600. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  601. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  602. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  603. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  604. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  605. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  606. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  607. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  608. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  609. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  610. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  611. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  612. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  613. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  614. present random binary data)
  615. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  616. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  617. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  618. when an interface is added
  619. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  620. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  621. indicating when new scan results become available
  622. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  623. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  624. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  625. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  626. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  627. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  628. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  629. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  630. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  631. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  632. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  633. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  634. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  635. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  636. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  637. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  638. versions
  639. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  640. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  641. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  642. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  643. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  644. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  645. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  646. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  647. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  648. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  649. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  650. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  651. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  652. [Bug 237]
  653. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  654. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  655. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  656. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  657. in .config
  658. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  659. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  660. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  661. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  662. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  663. work with new features
  664. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  665. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  666. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  667. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  668. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  669. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  670. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  671. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  672. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  673. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  674. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  675. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  676. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  677. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  678. PAC-Opaque)
  679. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  680. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  681. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  682. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  683. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  684. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  685. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  686. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  687. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  688. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  689. [Bug 232]
  690. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  691. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  692. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  693. buffer read overflow
  694. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  695. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  696. be lost
  697. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  698. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  699. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  700. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  701. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  702. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  703. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  704. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  705. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  706. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  707. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  708. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  709. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  710. different)
  711. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  712. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  713. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  714. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  715. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  716. for PAC provisioning)
  717. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  718. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  719. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  720. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  721. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  722. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  723. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  724. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  725. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  726. added support for EAP-FAST
  727. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  728. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  729. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  730. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  731. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  732. (still experimental)
  733. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  734. if TLS library initialization fails
  735. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  736. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  737. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  738. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  739. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  740. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  741. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  742. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  743. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  744. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  745. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  746. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  747. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  748. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  749. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  750. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  751. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  752. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  753. frame protection)
  754. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  755. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  756. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  757. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  758. immediately without sending a command
  759. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  760. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  761. use PIN)
  762. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  763. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  764. partial AID
  765. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  766. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  767. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  768. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  769. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  770. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  771. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  772. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  773. parameter is not exposed
  774. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  775. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  776. (wide-char functions)
  777. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  778. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  779. keys
  780. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  781. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  782. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  783. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  784. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  785. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  786. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  787. when determining whether there are pending messages
  788. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  789. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  790. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  791. localhost was used)
  792. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  793. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  794. future versions)
  795. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  796. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  797. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  798. case when group is not changed
  799. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  800. Windows version
  801. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  802. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  803. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  804. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  805. used even if the source address does not match with it
  806. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  807. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  808. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  809. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  810. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  811. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  812. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  813. implementation
  814. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  815. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  816. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  817. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  818. USB) [Bug 113]
  819. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  820. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  821. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  822. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  823. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  824. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  825. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  826. to be enabled)
  827. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  828. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  829. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  830. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  831. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  832. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  833. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  834. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  835. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  836. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  837. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  838. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  839. is terminated
  840. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  841. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  842. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  843. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  844. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  845. included)
  846. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  847. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  848. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  849. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  850. a raw PSK (hex string)
  851. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  852. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  853. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  854. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  855. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  856. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  857. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  858. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  859. status changes or when associating with a different network
  860. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  861. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  862. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  863. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  864. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  865. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  866. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  867. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  868. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  869. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  870. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  871. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  872. handle
  873. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  874. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  875. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  876. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  877. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  878. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  879. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  880. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  881. only one application to open the device
  882. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  883. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  884. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  885. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  886. when specifying the interface
  887. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  888. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  889. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  890. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  891. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  892. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  893. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  894. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  895. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  896. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  897. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  898. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  899. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  900. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  901. in Windows registry
  902. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  903. Windows registry
  904. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  905. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  906. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  907. that can use this information)
  908. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  909. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  910. [Bug 140]
  911. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  912. primitive
  913. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  914. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  915. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  916. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  917. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  918. on how to use this)
  919. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  920. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  921. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  922. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  923. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  924. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  925. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  926. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  927. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  928. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  929. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  930. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  931. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  932. instead of a static list generated at build time
  933. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  934. removing PMKSA entries
  935. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  936. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  937. WPA/RSN IE
  938. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  939. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  940. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  941. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  942. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  943. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  944. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  945. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  946. option can be changed if needed
  947. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  948. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  949. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  950. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  951. recommended)
  952. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  953. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  954. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  955. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  956. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  957. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  958. not likely to happen in real use.
  959. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  960. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  961. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  962. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  963. ap_scan=2)
  964. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  965. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  966. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  967. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  968. and stakey=1)
  969. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  970. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  971. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  972. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  973. other C libraries and compilers
  974. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  975. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  976. code more portable
  977. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  978. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  979. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  980. example makefile for nmake
  981. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  982. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  983. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  984. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  985. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  986. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  987. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  988. unregister a service
  989. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  990. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  991. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  992. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  993. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  994. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  995. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  996. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  997. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  998. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  999. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  1000. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  1001. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  1002. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  1003. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  1004. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  1005. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  1006. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  1007. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  1008. 3 ms
  1009. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  1010. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  1011. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  1012. configuration blob
  1013. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  1014. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  1015. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  1016. session resumption
  1017. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  1018. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  1019. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  1020. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  1021. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  1022. easily on cross-compilation builds
  1023. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  1024. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  1025. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  1026. Windows service
  1027. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  1028. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  1029. release since it is not needed anymore
  1030. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  1031. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  1032. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  1033. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  1034. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  1035. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  1036. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  1037. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  1038. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  1039. during handshake
  1040. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  1041. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  1042. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  1043. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  1044. would get
  1045. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  1046. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  1047. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  1048. cannot be parsed successfully
  1049. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  1050. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  1051. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  1052. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  1053. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  1054. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  1055. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  1056. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  1057. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  1058. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  1059. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  1060. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  1061. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  1062. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  1063. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  1064. private_key
  1065. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  1066. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  1067. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  1068. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  1069. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  1070. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  1071. system-wide trusted CA list
  1072. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  1073. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  1074. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  1075. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  1076. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  1077. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  1078. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  1079. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  1080. wpa_supplicant process
  1081. * wpa_gui:
  1082. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  1083. - added WEP key configuration
  1084. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  1085. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  1086. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  1087. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  1088. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  1089. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  1090. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  1091. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  1092. EAP authentication immediately after association
  1093. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  1094. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  1095. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  1096. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  1097. generate, e.g., man pages
  1098. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  1099. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  1100. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  1101. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  1102. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  1103. frame
  1104. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  1105. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  1106. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  1107. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  1108. Ethernet
  1109. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  1110. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  1111. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  1112. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  1113. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  1114. these multicast addresses by default
  1115. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  1116. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  1117. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  1118. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  1119. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  1120. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  1121. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  1122. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  1123. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  1124. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  1125. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  1126. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  1127. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  1128. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  1129. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  1130. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  1131. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  1132. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  1133. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  1134. this with private_key)
  1135. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  1136. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  1137. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  1138. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  1139. with drivers that do not support WPA
  1140. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  1141. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  1142. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  1143. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  1144. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  1145. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  1146. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  1147. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  1148. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  1149. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  1150. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  1151. the control interface, for example:
  1152. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  1153. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  1154. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  1155. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  1156. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1157. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1158. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  1159. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  1160. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  1161. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  1162. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  1163. open network configuration)
  1164. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  1165. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  1166. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  1167. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  1168. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  1169. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  1170. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  1171. (l2_packet_*.c)
  1172. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  1173. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  1174. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  1175. this)
  1176. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  1177. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  1178. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  1179. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  1180. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  1181. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  1182. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  1183. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  1184. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  1185. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  1186. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  1187. NDIS drivers
  1188. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  1189. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  1190. configuration file
  1191. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  1192. processing
  1193. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  1194. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  1195. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  1196. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  1197. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  1198. the key in this case
  1199. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  1200. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  1201. driver_ops function set_param()
  1202. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  1203. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  1204. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  1205. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  1206. entered as a number, not group name
  1207. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  1208. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  1209. cards
  1210. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  1211. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  1212. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  1213. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  1214. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  1215. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  1216. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  1217. authentication session
  1218. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  1219. password has expired)
  1220. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  1221. and adding them to the certificate chain
  1222. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  1223. were used
  1224. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  1225. identity or password is entered through control interface
  1226. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  1227. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  1228. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  1229. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  1230. Qt development tools)
  1231. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  1232. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  1233. 'reassociate' command has been used
  1234. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  1235. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  1236. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  1237. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  1238. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  1239. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1240. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1241. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  1242. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  1243. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  1244. debugging code is not needed
  1245. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  1246. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  1247. overflow
  1248. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  1249. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  1250. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  1251. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  1252. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  1253. but they may be removed in the future)
  1254. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  1255. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  1256. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  1257. interoperate with some authentication servers
  1258. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  1259. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  1260. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  1261. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  1262. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  1263. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  1264. delayed until the PIN is available
  1265. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  1266. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  1267. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  1268. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  1269. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  1270. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  1271. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  1272. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  1273. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  1274. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  1275. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  1276. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  1277. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  1278. events
  1279. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  1280. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  1281. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  1282. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  1283. using assoc_info events
  1284. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  1285. process id into a file
  1286. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  1287. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  1288. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  1289. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  1290. authentication servers
  1291. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  1292. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  1293. ap_scan=2)
  1294. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  1295. identity/password/otp
  1296. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  1297. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  1298. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  1299. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  1300. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  1301. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  1302. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  1303. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  1304. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  1305. when no matching AP is found
  1306. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  1307. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  1308. when using WPA2-PSK
  1309. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  1310. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  1311. retransmission of dropped frames)
  1312. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  1313. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  1314. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  1315. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  1316. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  1317. requires EAP workarounds
  1318. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  1319. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  1320. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  1321. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  1322. authentication attempt
  1323. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  1324. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  1325. verified)
  1326. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  1327. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  1328. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  1329. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  1330. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  1331. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  1332. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  1333. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  1334. supports WPA-None)
  1335. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  1336. mingw
  1337. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  1338. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  1339. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  1340. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  1341. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  1342. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  1343. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  1344. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  1345. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  1346. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  1347. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  1348. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  1349. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  1350. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  1351. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  1352. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  1353. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  1354. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  1355. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  1356. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  1357. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  1358. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  1359. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  1360. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  1361. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  1362. running)
  1363. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  1364. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  1365. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  1366. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  1367. the interface name
  1368. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  1369. file
  1370. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  1371. when exiting
  1372. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  1373. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  1374. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  1375. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  1376. information
  1377. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  1378. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  1379. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  1380. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  1381. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  1382. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  1383. authentication
  1384. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  1385. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  1386. unicast key)
  1387. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  1388. drivers
  1389. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  1390. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  1391. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  1392. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  1393. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  1394. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  1395. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  1396. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  1397. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  1398. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  1399. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  1400. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  1401. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  1402. group, proto variables
  1403. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  1404. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  1405. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  1406. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  1407. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  1408. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  1409. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  1410. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  1411. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  1412. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  1413. the association
  1414. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  1415. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  1416. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  1417. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  1418. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  1419. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  1420. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  1421. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  1422. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  1423. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  1424. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  1425. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  1426. reply
  1427. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  1428. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  1429. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  1430. label which is thus more suitable default option
  1431. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  1432. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  1433. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  1434. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  1435. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  1436. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  1437. WEP keys)
  1438. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  1439. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  1440. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  1441. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  1442. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  1443. session resumption)
  1444. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  1445. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  1446. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  1447. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  1448. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  1449. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  1450. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  1451. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  1452. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  1453. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  1454. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  1455. drivers expect this
  1456. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  1457. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  1458. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  1459. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  1460. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  1461. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  1462. v17 or newer
  1463. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  1464. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  1465. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  1466. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  1467. forever
  1468. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  1469. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  1470. argument to match the previous behavior
  1471. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  1472. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  1473. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  1474. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  1475. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  1476. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  1477. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  1478. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  1479. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  1480. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  1481. association
  1482. * changed driver interface API:
  1483. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  1484. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  1485. not defined)
  1486. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  1487. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  1488. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  1489. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  1490. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  1491. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  1492. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  1493. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  1494. sequential EAP packets
  1495. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  1496. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  1497. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  1498. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  1499. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  1500. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  1501. configuration
  1502. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  1503. IEs than just one WPA IE
  1504. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  1505. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  1506. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  1507. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  1508. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  1509. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  1510. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  1511. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  1512. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  1513. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  1514. for the broadcast key
  1515. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  1516. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  1517. WPA
  1518. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  1519. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  1520. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  1521. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  1522. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  1523. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  1524. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  1525. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  1526. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  1527. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  1528. supporting wireless extensions.
  1529. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  1530. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  1531. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1532. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  1533. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  1534. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  1535. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  1536. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  1537. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  1538. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  1539. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1540. started again
  1541. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1542. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1543. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1544. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1545. frontend is attached
  1546. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1547. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1548. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1549. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1550. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1551. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1552. the control interface;
  1553. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1554. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1555. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1556. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1557. * added support for LEAP
  1558. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1559. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1560. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1561. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1562. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1563. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1564. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1565. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1566. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1567. TLS processing
  1568. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1569. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1570. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1571. automatically)
  1572. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1573. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1574. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1575. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1576. from the station)
  1577. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1578. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1579. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1580. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1581. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1582. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1583. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1584. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1585. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1586. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1587. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1588. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1589. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1590. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1591. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1592. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1593. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1594. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1595. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1596. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1597. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1598. EAP-GTC
  1599. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1600. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1601. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1602. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1603. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1604. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1605. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1606. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1607. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1608. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1609. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1610. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1611. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1612. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1613. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1614. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1615. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1616. anyway for TLS)
  1617. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1618. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1619. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1620. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1621. Supplicant
  1622. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1623. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1624. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1625. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1626. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1627. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1628. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1629. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1630. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1631. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1632. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1633. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1634. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1635. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1636. option
  1637. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1638. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1639. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1640. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1641. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1642. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1643. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1644. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1645. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1646. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1647. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1648. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1649. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1650. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1651. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1652. wpa_supplicant
  1653. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1654. mode
  1655. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1656. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1657. - .config file for make
  1658. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1659. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1660. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1661. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
