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