  1. ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
  2. ????-??-?? - v0.7.0
  3. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  4. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  5. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  6. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  7. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  8. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  9. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  10. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  11. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  12. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  13. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  14. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  15. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  16. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  17. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  18. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  19. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  20. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  21. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  22. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  23. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  24. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  25. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  26. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  27. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  28. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  29. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  30. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  31. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  32. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  33. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  34. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  35. against TKIP deficiencies
  36. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  37. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  38. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  39. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  40. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  41. not bytes
  42. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  43. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  44. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  45. needed with that version anymore)
  46. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  47. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  48. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  49. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  50. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  51. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  52. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  53. about
  54. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  55. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  56. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  57. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  58. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  59. (IEEE 802.11w)
  60. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  61. use correct FTIE
  62. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  63. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  64. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  65. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  66. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  67. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  68. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  69. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  70. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  71. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  72. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  73. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  74. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  75. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  76. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  77. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  78. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  79. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  80. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  81. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  82. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  83. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  84. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  85. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  86. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  87. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  88. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  89. present random binary data)
  90. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  91. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  92. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  93. when an interface is added
  94. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  95. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  96. indicating when new scan results become available
  97. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  98. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  99. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  100. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  101. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  102. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  103. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  104. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  105. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  106. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  107. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  108. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  109. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  110. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  111. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  112. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  113. versions
  114. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  115. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  116. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  117. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  118. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  119. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  120. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  121. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  122. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  123. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  124. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  125. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  126. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  127. [Bug 237]
  128. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  129. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  130. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  131. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  132. in .config
  133. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  134. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  135. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  136. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  137. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  138. work with new features
  139. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  140. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  141. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  142. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  143. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  144. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  145. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  146. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  147. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  148. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  149. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  150. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  151. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  152. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  153. PAC-Opaque)
  154. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  155. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  156. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  157. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  158. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  159. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  160. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  161. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  162. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  163. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  164. [Bug 232]
  165. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  166. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  167. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  168. buffer read overflow
  169. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  170. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  171. be lost
  172. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  173. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  174. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  175. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  176. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  177. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  178. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  179. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  180. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  181. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  182. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  183. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  184. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  185. different)
  186. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  187. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  188. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  189. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  190. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  191. for PAC provisioning)
  192. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  193. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  194. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  195. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  196. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  197. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  198. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  199. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  200. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  201. added support for EAP-FAST
  202. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  203. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  204. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  205. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  206. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  207. (still experimental)
  208. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  209. if TLS library initialization fails
  210. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  211. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  212. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  213. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  214. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  215. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  216. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  217. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  218. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  219. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  220. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  221. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  222. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  223. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  224. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  225. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  226. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  227. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  228. frame protection)
  229. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  230. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  231. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  232. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  233. immediately without sending a command
  234. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  235. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  236. use PIN)
  237. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  238. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  239. partial AID
  240. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  241. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  242. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  243. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  244. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  245. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  246. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  247. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  248. parameter is not exposed
  249. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  250. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  251. (wide-char functions)
  252. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  253. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  254. keys
  255. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  256. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  257. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  258. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  259. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  260. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  261. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  262. when determining whether there are pending messages
  263. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  264. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  265. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  266. localhost was used)
  267. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  268. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  269. future versions)
  270. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  271. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  272. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  273. case when group is not changed
  274. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  275. Windows version
  276. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  277. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  278. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  279. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  280. used even if the source address does not match with it
  281. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  282. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  283. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  284. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  285. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  286. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  287. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  288. implementation
  289. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  290. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  291. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  292. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  293. USB) [Bug 113]
  294. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  295. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  296. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  297. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  298. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  299. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  300. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  301. to be enabled)
  302. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  303. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  304. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  305. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  306. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  307. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  308. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  309. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  310. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  311. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  312. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  313. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  314. is terminated
  315. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  316. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  317. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  318. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  319. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  320. included)
  321. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  322. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  323. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  324. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  325. a raw PSK (hex string)
  326. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  327. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  328. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  329. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  330. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  331. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  332. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  333. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  334. status changes or when associating with a different network
  335. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  336. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  337. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  338. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  339. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  340. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  341. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  342. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  343. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  344. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  345. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  346. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  347. handle
  348. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  349. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  350. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  351. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  352. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  353. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  354. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  355. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  356. only one application to open the device
  357. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  358. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  359. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  360. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  361. when specifying the interface
  362. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  363. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  364. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  365. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  366. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  367. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  368. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  369. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  370. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  371. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  372. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  373. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  374. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  375. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  376. in Windows registry
  377. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  378. Windows registry
  379. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  380. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  381. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  382. that can use this information)
  383. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  384. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  385. [Bug 140]
  386. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  387. primitive
  388. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  389. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  390. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  391. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  392. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  393. on how to use this)
  394. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  395. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  396. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  397. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  398. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  399. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  400. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  401. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  402. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  403. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  404. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  405. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  406. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  407. instead of a static list generated at build time
  408. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  409. removing PMKSA entries
  410. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  411. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  412. WPA/RSN IE
  413. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  414. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  415. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  416. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  417. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  418. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  419. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  420. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  421. option can be changed if needed
  422. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  423. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  424. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  425. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  426. recommended)
  427. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  428. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  429. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  430. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  431. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  432. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  433. not likely to happen in real use.
  434. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  435. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  436. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  437. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  438. ap_scan=2)
  439. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  440. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  441. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  442. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  443. and stakey=1)
  444. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  445. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  446. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  447. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  448. other C libraries and compilers
  449. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  450. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  451. code more portable
  452. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  453. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  454. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  455. example makefile for nmake
  456. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  457. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  458. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  459. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  460. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  461. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  462. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  463. unregister a service
  464. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  465. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  466. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  467. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  468. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  469. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  470. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  471. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  472. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  473. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  474. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  475. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  476. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  477. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  478. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  479. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  480. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  481. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  482. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  483. 3 ms
  484. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  485. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  486. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  487. configuration blob
  488. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  489. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  490. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  491. session resumption
  492. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  493. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  494. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  495. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  496. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  497. easily on cross-compilation builds
  498. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  499. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  500. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  501. Windows service
  502. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  503. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  504. release since it is not needed anymore
  505. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  506. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  507. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  508. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  509. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  510. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  511. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  512. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  513. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  514. during handshake
  515. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  516. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  517. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  518. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  519. would get
  520. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  521. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  522. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  523. cannot be parsed successfully
  524. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  525. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  526. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  527. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  528. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  529. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  530. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  531. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  532. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  533. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  534. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  535. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  536. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  537. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  538. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  539. private_key
  540. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  541. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  542. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  543. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  544. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  545. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  546. system-wide trusted CA list
  547. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  548. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  549. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  550. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  551. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  552. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  553. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  554. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  555. wpa_supplicant process
  556. * wpa_gui:
  557. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  558. - added WEP key configuration
  559. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  560. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  561. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  562. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  563. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  564. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  565. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  566. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  567. EAP authentication immediately after association
  568. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  569. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  570. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  571. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  572. generate, e.g., man pages
  573. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  574. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  575. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  576. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  577. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  578. frame
  579. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  580. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  581. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  582. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  583. Ethernet
  584. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  585. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  586. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  587. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  588. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  589. these multicast addresses by default
  590. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  591. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  592. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  593. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  594. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  595. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  596. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  597. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  598. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  599. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  600. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  601. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  602. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  603. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  604. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  605. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  606. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  607. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  608. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  609. this with private_key)
  610. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  611. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  612. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  613. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  614. with drivers that do not support WPA
  615. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  616. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  617. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  618. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  619. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  620. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  621. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  622. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  623. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  624. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  625. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  626. the control interface, for example:
  627. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  628. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  629. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  630. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  631. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  632. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  633. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  634. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  635. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  636. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  637. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  638. open network configuration)
  639. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  640. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  641. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  642. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  643. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  644. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  645. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  646. (l2_packet_*.c)
  647. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  648. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  649. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  650. this)
  651. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  652. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  653. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  654. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  655. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  656. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  657. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  658. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  659. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  660. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  661. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  662. NDIS drivers
  663. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  664. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  665. configuration file
  666. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  667. processing
  668. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  669. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  670. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  671. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  672. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  673. the key in this case
  674. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  675. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  676. driver_ops function set_param()
  677. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  678. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  679. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  680. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  681. entered as a number, not group name
  682. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  683. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  684. cards
  685. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  686. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  687. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  688. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  689. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  690. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  691. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  692. authentication session
  693. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  694. password has expired)
  695. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  696. and adding them to the certificate chain
  697. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  698. were used
  699. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  700. identity or password is entered through control interface
  701. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  702. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  703. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  704. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  705. Qt development tools)
  706. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  707. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  708. 'reassociate' command has been used
  709. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  710. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  711. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  712. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  713. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  714. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  715. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  716. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  717. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  718. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  719. debugging code is not needed
  720. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  721. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  722. overflow
  723. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  724. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  725. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  726. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  727. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  728. but they may be removed in the future)
  729. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  730. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  731. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  732. interoperate with some authentication servers
  733. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  734. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  735. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  736. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  737. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  738. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  739. delayed until the PIN is available
  740. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  741. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  742. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  743. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  744. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  745. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  746. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  747. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  748. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  749. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  750. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  751. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  752. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  753. events
  754. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  755. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  756. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  757. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  758. using assoc_info events
  759. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  760. process id into a file
  761. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  762. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  763. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  764. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  765. authentication servers
  766. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  767. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  768. ap_scan=2)
  769. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  770. identity/password/otp
  771. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  772. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  773. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  774. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  775. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  776. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  777. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  778. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  779. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  780. when no matching AP is found
  781. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  782. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  783. when using WPA2-PSK
  784. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  785. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  786. retransmission of dropped frames)
  787. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  788. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  789. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  790. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  791. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  792. requires EAP workarounds
  793. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  794. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  795. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  796. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  797. authentication attempt
  798. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  799. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  800. verified)
  801. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  802. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  803. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  804. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  805. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  806. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  807. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  808. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  809. supports WPA-None)
  810. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  811. mingw
  812. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  813. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  814. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  815. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  816. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  817. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  818. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  819. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  820. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  821. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  822. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  823. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  824. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  825. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  826. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  827. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  828. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  829. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  830. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  831. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  832. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  833. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  834. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  835. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  836. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  837. running)
  838. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  839. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  840. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  841. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  842. the interface name
  843. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  844. file
  845. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  846. when exiting
  847. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  848. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  849. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  850. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  851. information
  852. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  853. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  854. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  855. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  856. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  857. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  858. authentication
  859. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  860. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  861. unicast key)
  862. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  863. drivers
  864. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  865. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  866. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  867. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  868. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  869. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  870. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  871. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  872. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  873. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  874. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  875. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  876. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  877. group, proto variables
  878. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  879. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  880. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  881. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  882. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  883. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  884. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  885. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  886. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  887. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  888. the association
  889. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  890. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  891. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  892. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  893. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  894. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  895. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  896. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  897. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  898. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  899. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  900. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  901. reply
  902. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  903. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  904. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  905. label which is thus more suitable default option
  906. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  907. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  908. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  909. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  910. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  911. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  912. WEP keys)
  913. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  914. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  915. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  916. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  917. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  918. session resumption)
  919. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  920. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  921. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  922. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  923. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  924. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  925. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  926. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  927. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  928. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  929. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  930. drivers expect this
  931. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  932. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  933. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  934. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  935. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  936. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  937. v17 or newer
  938. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  939. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  940. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  941. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  942. forever
  943. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  944. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  945. argument to match the previous behavior
  946. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  947. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  948. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  949. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  950. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  951. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  952. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  953. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  954. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  955. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  956. association
  957. * changed driver interface API:
  958. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  959. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  960. not defined)
  961. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  962. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  963. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  964. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  965. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  966. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  967. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  968. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  969. sequential EAP packets
  970. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  971. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  972. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  973. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  974. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  975. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  976. configuration
  977. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  978. IEs than just one WPA IE
  979. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  980. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  981. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  982. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  983. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  984. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  985. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  986. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  987. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  988. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  989. for the broadcast key
  990. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  991. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  992. WPA
  993. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  994. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  995. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  996. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  997. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  998. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  999. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  1000. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  1001. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  1002. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  1003. supporting wireless extensions.
  1004. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  1005. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  1006. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1007. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  1008. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  1009. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  1010. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  1011. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  1012. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  1013. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  1014. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  1015. started again
  1016. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  1017. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  1018. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  1019. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  1020. frontend is attached
  1021. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  1022. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  1023. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  1024. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  1025. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  1026. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  1027. the control interface;
  1028. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  1029. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  1030. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  1031. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  1032. * added support for LEAP
  1033. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  1034. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  1035. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  1036. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  1037. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  1038. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  1039. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  1040. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  1041. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  1042. TLS processing
  1043. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  1044. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  1045. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  1046. automatically)
  1047. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  1048. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  1049. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  1050. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  1051. from the station)
  1052. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  1053. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  1054. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  1055. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  1056. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  1057. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  1058. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  1059. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  1060. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  1061. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  1062. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  1063. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  1064. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  1065. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  1066. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  1067. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  1068. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  1069. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  1070. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  1071. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  1072. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  1073. EAP-GTC
  1074. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  1075. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  1076. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  1077. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  1078. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  1079. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  1080. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  1081. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  1082. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  1083. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  1084. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  1085. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  1086. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  1087. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  1088. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  1089. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  1090. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  1091. anyway for TLS)
  1092. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  1093. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  1094. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  1095. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  1096. Supplicant
  1097. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  1098. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  1099. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  1100. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  1101. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  1102. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  1103. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  1104. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  1105. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  1106. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  1107. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  1108. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  1109. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  1110. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  1111. option
  1112. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  1113. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  1114. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  1115. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  1116. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  1117. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  1118. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  1119. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  1120. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  1121. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  1122. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  1123. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  1124. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  1125. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  1126. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  1127. wpa_supplicant
  1128. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  1129. mode
  1130. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  1131. * made some feature compile time configurable
  1132. - .config file for make
  1133. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  1134. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  1135. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  1136. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
