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