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