  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. 2014-10-09 - v2.3
  3. * fixed number of minor issues identified in static analyzer warnings
  4. * fixed wfd_dev_info to be more careful and not read beyond the buffer
  5. when parsing invalid information for P2P-DEVICE-FOUND
  6. * extended P2P and GAS query operations to support drivers that have
  7. maximum remain-on-channel time below 1000 ms (500 ms is the current
  8. minimum supported value)
  9. * added p2p_search_delay parameter to make the default p2p_find delay
  10. configurable
  11. * improved P2P operating channel selection for various multi-channel
  12. concurrency cases
  13. * fixed some TDLS failure cases to clean up driver state
  14. * fixed dynamic interface addition cases with nl80211 to avoid adding
  15. ifindex values to incorrect interface to skip foreign interface events
  16. properly
  17. * added TDLS workaround for some APs that may add extra data to the
  18. end of a short frame
  19. * fixed EAP-AKA' message parser with multiple AT_KDF attributes
  20. * added configuration option (p2p_passphrase_len) to allow longer
  21. passphrases to be generated for P2P groups
  22. * fixed IBSS channel configuration in some corner cases
  23. * improved HT/VHT/QoS parameter setup for TDLS
  24. * modified D-Bus interface for P2P peers/groups
  25. * started to use constant time comparison for various password and hash
  26. values to reduce possibility of any externally measurable timing
  27. differences
  28. * extended explicit clearing of freed memory and expired keys to avoid
  29. keeping private data in memory longer than necessary
  30. * added optional scan_id parameter to the SCAN command to allow manual
  31. scan requests for active scans for specific configured SSIDs
  32. * fixed CTRL-EVENT-REGDOM-CHANGE event init parameter value
  33. * added option to set Hotspot 2.0 Rel 2 update_identifier in network
  34. configuration to support external configuration
  35. * modified Android PNO functionality to send Probe Request frames only
  36. for hidden SSIDs (based on scan_ssid=1)
  37. * added generic mechanism for adding vendor elements into frames at
  38. runtime (VENDOR_ELEM_ADD, VENDOR_ELEM_GET, VENDOR_ELEM_REMOVE)
  39. * added fields to show unrecognized vendor elements in P2P_PEER
  40. * removed EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2 interoperability workaround so that
  41. MS-CHAP2-Success is required to be present regardless of
  42. eap_workaround configuration
  43. * modified EAP fast session resumption to allow results to be used only
  44. with the same network block that generated them
  45. * extended freq_list configuration to apply for sched_scan as well as
  46. normal scan
  47. * modified WPS to merge mixed-WPA/WPA2 credentials from a single session
  48. * fixed nl80211/RTM_DELLINK processing when a P2P GO interface is
  49. removed from a bridge
  50. * fixed number of small P2P issues to make negotiations more robust in
  51. corner cases
  52. * added experimental support for using temporary, random local MAC
  53. address (mac_addr and preassoc_mac_addr parameters); this is disabled
  54. by default (i.e., previous behavior of using permanent address is
  55. maintained if configuration is not changed)
  56. * added D-Bus interface for setting/clearing WFD IEs
  57. * fixed TDLS AID configuration for VHT
  58. * modified -m<conf> configuration file to be used only for the P2P
  59. non-netdev management device and do not load this for the default
  60. station interface or load the station interface configuration for
  61. the P2P management interface
  62. * fixed external MAC address changes while wpa_supplicant is running
  63. * started to enable HT (if supported by the driver) for IBSS
  64. * fixed wpa_cli action script execution to use more robust mechanism
  65. (CVE-2014-3686)
  66. 2014-06-04 - v2.2
  67. * added DFS indicator to get_capability freq
  68. * added/fixed nl80211 functionality

  501. * allow P2P functionality to be disabled per interface (p2p_disabled=1)
  502. * added secondary device types into P2P_PEER output
  503. * added an option to disable use of a separate P2P group interface
  504. (p2p_no_group_iface=1)
  505. * fixed P2P Bonjour SD to match entries with both compressed and not
  506. compressed domain name format and support multiple Bonjour PTR matches
  507. for the same key
  508. * use deauthentication instead of disassociation for all disconnection
  509. operations; this removes the now unused disassociate() wpa_driver_ops
  510. callback
  511. * optimized PSK generation on P2P GO by caching results to avoid
  512. multiple PBKDF2 operations
  513. * added okc=1 global configuration parameter to allow OKC to be enabled
  514. by default for all network blocks
  515. * added a workaround for WPS PBC session overlap detection to avoid
  516. interop issues with deployed station implementations that do not
  517. remove active PBC indication from Probe Request frames properly
  518. * added basic support for 60 GHz band
  519. * extend EAPOL frames processing workaround for roaming cases
  520. (postpone processing of unexpected EAPOL frame until association
  521. event to handle reordered events)
  522. 2012-05-10 - v1.0
  523. * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
  524. * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
  525. This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
  526. Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
  527. available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
  528. Disassoc frames (nl80211).
  529. * Drop oldest unknown BSS table entries first. This makes it less
  530. likely to hit connection issues in environments with huge number
  531. of visible APs.

  537. config parameter ieee80211n.
  538. * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
  539. the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
  540. going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
  541. config option disassoc_low_ack.
  542. * nl80211:
  543. - Support GTK rekey offload.
  544. - Support PMKSA candidate events. This adds support for RSN

  559. - Emit property changed events (for property BSSs) when adding/
  560. removing BSSs.
  561. - Treat '' in SSIDs of Interface.Scan as a request for broadcast
  562. scan, instead of ignoring it.
  563. - Add DBus getter/setter for FastReauth.
  564. - Raise PropertiesChanged on org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.

  571. - Add bss_expire_age and bss_expire_count commands to set/get BSS
  572. cache expiration age and expiration scan count.
  573. - Add ability to set scan interval (the time in seconds wpa_s waits
  574. before requesting a new scan after failing to find a suitable
  575. network in scan results) using scan_interval command.
  576. - Add event CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT for association rejected.
  577. - Add command get version, that returns wpa_supplicant version string.
  578. - Add command sta_autoconnect for disabling automatic reconnection
  579. on receiving disconnection event.
  580. - Setting bssid parameter to an empty string "" or any can now be
  581. used to clear the bssid_set flag in a network block, i.e., to remove
  582. bssid filtering.
  583. - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
  584. changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
  585. enabled as well.

  597. line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement
  598. for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
  599. * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit
  600. the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP.
  601. * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
  602. config file.
  603. * wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds.

  608. be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P)
  609. operation.
  610. - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding
  611. them.
  612. - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.

  618. validate the checksum digit (if present).
  619. - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection.
  620. - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS
  621. operation.
  622. - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers.
  623. - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
  624. Number, and Serial Number changes.
  625. - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
  626. wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.
  627. - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks on
  628. failures up to 10.
  629. - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
  630. be compatible with Windows 7.
  631. - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
  632. user on how to resolve the issue.
  633. - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
  634. at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
  635. methods are advertised.
  636. - When controlling multiple interfaces:
  637. - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
  638. - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
  639. - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
  640. all interfaces
  641. * WPS ER:
  642. - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
  643. ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
  644. WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
  645. - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
  646. - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
  647. network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
  648. current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
  649. - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for
  650. learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP.
  651. * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)

  656. - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
  657. * TDLS:
  658. - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and
  659. add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
  660. capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
  661. explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
  662. - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
  663. Use set tdls_disabled.
  664. - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
  665. - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use
  666. CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime
  667. with tdls_testing cli command.
  668. - Add support for TDLS 802.11z.
  669. * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
  670. wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
  671. for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
  672. * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
  673. CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters
  674. for interworking. wpa_cli commands added to support this are
  675. interworking_select, interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp,
  676. and stop_fetch_anqp.
  677. * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
  678. * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
  679. previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
  680. the list of channels for background scans.
  681. * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
  682. -ddd to enable.
  683. * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
  684. * Internal TLS:
  685. - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
  686. CONFIG_TLSV11.
  687. - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names.

  694. * Many bugfixes.
  695. 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
  696. * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
  697. * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
  698. strength are present in scan results
  699. * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
  700. automatic detection of EAP parameters
  701. * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
  702. certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
  703. * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  704. configuration options
  705. * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
  706. tray messages
  707. * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
  708. * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  709. interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  710. compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  711. * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
  712. messages to reduce latency in showing these
  713. (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
  714. * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
  715. * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
  716. configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
  717. * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  718. backwards compatible with old versions
  719. * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
  720. and over-the-DS)
  721. * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
  722. selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
  723. * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
  724. dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
  725. the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
  726. ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
  727. configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
  728. signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
  729. scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
  730. (this is currently only available with nl80211)
  731. * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
  732. * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
  733. linguist and add German translation
  734. * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  735. * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
  736. enabled networks
  737. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  738. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  739. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  740. will need modifications
  741. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  742. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  743. single document
  744. * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
  745. avoid issues when roaming between APs
  746. * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
  747. (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  748. * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
  749. * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
  750. allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  751. * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
  752. receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
  753. * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
  754. wrapper
  755. * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
  756. over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
  757. * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
  758. the dialog is kept open
  759. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  760. * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
  761. unnecessary scans and to speed up association
  762. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  763. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  764. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  765. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  766. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  767. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  768. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  769. interface will be used
  770. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  771. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  772. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  773. with nl80211
  774. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  775. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  776. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  777. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  778. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  779. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  780. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  781. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  782. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  783. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  784. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  785. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  786. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  787. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  788. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  789. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  790. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  791. into wpa_supplicant
  792. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  793. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  794. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  795. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  796. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  797. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  798. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  799. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  800. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  801. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  802. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  803. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  804. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  805. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  806. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  807. address frames
  808. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  809. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  810. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  811. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  812. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  813. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  814. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  815. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  816. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  817. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  818. an ESS (same SSID)
  819. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  820. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  821. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  822. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  823. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  824. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  825. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  826. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  827. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  828. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  829. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  830. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  831. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  832. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  833. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  834. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  835. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  836. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  837. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  838. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  839. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  840. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  841. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  842. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  843. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  844. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  845. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  846. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  847. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  848. against TKIP deficiencies
  849. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  850. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  851. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  852. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  853. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  854. not bytes
  855. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  856. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  857. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  858. needed with that version anymore)
  859. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  860. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  861. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  862. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  863. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  864. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  865. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  866. about
  867. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  868. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the

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