  845. bssid filtering.
  846. - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
  847. changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
  848. enabled as well.
  849. - For interworking, add wpa_cli commands interworking_select,
  850. interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp, and stop_fetch_anqp.
  851. - Many P2P commands were added. See README-P2P.
  852. - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
  853. - Allow set command to change global config parameters.

  856. - Add note command, which can be used to insert notes to the debug
  857. log.
  858. - Add internal line edit implementation. CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y
  859. can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal implementation of
  860. line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement
  861. for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
  862. * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit
  863. the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP.
  864. * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
  865. config file.
  866. * wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds.
  867. * Add blacklist command, allowing an external program to
  868. manage the BSS blacklist and display its current contents.
  869. * WPS:
  870. - Add wpa_cli wps_pin get command for generating random PINs. This can
  871. be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P)
  872. operation.
  873. - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding
  874. them.
  875. - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.

  877. by default.
  878. - Add wps_ap_pin cli command for wpa_supplicant AP mode.
  879. - Add wps_check_pin cli command for processing PIN from user input.
  880. UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
  881. validate the checksum digit (if present).
  882. - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection.
  883. - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS
  884. operation.
  885. - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers.
  886. - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
  887. Number, and Serial Number changes.
  888. - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
  889. wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.
  890. - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks on
  891. failures up to 10.
  892. - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
  893. be compatible with Windows 7.
  894. - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
  895. user on how to resolve the issue.
  896. - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
  897. at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
  898. methods are advertised.
  899. - When controlling multiple interfaces:
  900. - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
  901. - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
  902. - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
  903. all interfaces
  904. * WPS ER:
  905. - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
  906. ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
  907. WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
  908. - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
  909. - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
  910. network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
  911. current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
  912. - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for
  913. learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP.
  914. * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
  915. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
  916. for testing protocol extensibility.
  917. - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
  918. workarounds.
  919. - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
  920. * TDLS:
  921. - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and
  922. add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
  923. capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
  924. explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
  925. - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
  926. Use set tdls_disabled.
  927. - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
  928. - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use
  929. CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime
  930. with tdls_testing cli command.
  931. - Add support for TDLS 802.11z.
  932. * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
  933. wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
  934. for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
  935. * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
  936. CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters
  937. for interworking. wpa_cli commands added to support this are
  938. interworking_select, interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp,
  939. and stop_fetch_anqp.
  940. * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
  941. * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
  942. previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
  943. the list of channels for background scans.
  944. * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
  945. -ddd to enable.
  946. * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
  947. * Internal TLS:
  948. - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
  949. CONFIG_TLSV11.
  950. - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names.
  951. * Linux: Add RFKill support by adding an interface state "disabled".
  952. * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
  953. WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
  954. Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
  955. * Solaris: Add support for wired 802.1X client.
  956. * Wi-Fi Direct support. See README-P2P for more information.
  957. * Many bugfixes.
  958. 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
  959. * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
  960. * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
  961. strength are present in scan results
  962. * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
  963. automatic detection of EAP parameters
  964. * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
  965. certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
  966. * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
  967. configuration options
  968. * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
  969. tray messages
  970. * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
  971. * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
  972. interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
  973. compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  974. * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
  975. messages to reduce latency in showing these
  976. (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
  977. * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
  978. * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
  979. configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
  980. * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
  981. backwards compatible with old versions
  982. * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
  983. and over-the-DS)
  984. * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
  985. selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
  986. * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
  987. dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
  988. the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
  989. ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
  990. configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
  991. signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
  992. scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
  993. (this is currently only available with nl80211)
  994. * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
  995. * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
  996. linguist and add German translation
  997. * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  998. * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
  999. enabled networks
  1000. 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
  1001. * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
  1002. is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
  1003. will need modifications
  1004. * cleaned up various module interfaces
  1005. * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
  1006. single document
  1007. * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
  1008. avoid issues when roaming between APs
  1009. * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
  1010. (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  1011. * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
  1012. * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
  1013. allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  1014. * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
  1015. receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
  1016. * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
  1017. wrapper
  1018. * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
  1019. over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
  1020. * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
  1021. the dialog is kept open
  1022. * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  1023. * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
  1024. unnecessary scans and to speed up association
  1025. 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
  1026. * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
  1027. configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  1028. * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
  1029. byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
  1030. * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
  1031. (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
  1032. interface will be used
  1033. * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
  1034. scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
  1035. SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
  1036. with nl80211
  1037. * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
  1038. Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  1039. * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
  1040. fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
  1041. * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
  1042. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  1043. * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
  1044. and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
  1045. nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
  1046. to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
  1047. * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
  1048. standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
  1049. (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  1050. * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
  1051. * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
  1052. block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
  1053. (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
  1054. into wpa_supplicant
  1055. * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
  1056. (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
  1057. * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
  1058. and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
  1059. and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
  1060. wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
  1061. (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
  1062. wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
  1063. * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
  1064. nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  1065. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  1066. * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
  1067. interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  1068. * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  1069. * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
  1070. address frames
  1071. * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
  1072. * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
  1073. (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
  1074. up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
  1075. subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
  1076. supported only with -Dnl80211)
  1077. * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
  1078. association event and the following EAPOL-Key
  1079. * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
  1080. network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
  1081. an ESS (same SSID)
  1082. * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
  1083. 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
  1084. * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  1085. (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
  1086. enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
  1087. addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
  1088. configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
  1089. into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
  1090. wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
  1091. file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
  1092. manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
  1093. * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
  1094. * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
  1095. * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
  1096. 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
  1097. * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
  1098. * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
  1099. * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
  1100. DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
  1101. will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
  1102. servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
  1103. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
  1104. 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
  1105. * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
  1106. (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
  1107. enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
  1108. and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
  1109. * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
  1110. used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
  1111. against TKIP deficiencies
  1112. * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
  1113. TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
  1114. between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
  1115. CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
  1116. * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
  1117. not bytes
  1118. * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
  1119. session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
  1120. OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
  1121. needed with that version anymore)
  1122. * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
  1123. mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
  1124. with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
  1125. * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
  1126. consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
  1127. * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
  1128. RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
  1129. about
  1130. 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
  1131. * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
  1132. internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
  1133. * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
  1134. * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
  1135. (IEEE 802.11w)
  1136. * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
  1137. use correct FTIE
  1138. * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
  1139. method with wpa_gui-qt4
  1140. 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
  1141. * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
  1142. * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
  1143. * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
  1144. * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
  1145. * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
  1146. allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
  1147. * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
  1148. * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
  1149. internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
  1150. encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
  1151. * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
  1152. LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
  1153. calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
  1154. * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
  1155. handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
  1156. * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
  1157. 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
  1158. * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
  1159. previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
  1160. EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
  1161. replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
  1162. 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
  1163. 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
  1164. replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
  1165. present random binary data)
  1166. * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
  1167. if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
  1168. external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
  1169. when an interface is added
  1170. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
  1171. * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
  1172. indicating when new scan results become available
  1173. * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
  1174. fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
  1175. can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
  1176. * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
  1177. attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
  1178. * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
  1179. WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
  1180. * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
  1181. 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
  1182. * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
  1183. functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
  1184. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
  1185. lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
  1186. * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
  1187. this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
  1188. changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
  1189. versions
  1190. * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
  1191. AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
  1192. * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
  1193. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
  1194. * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
  1195. association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
  1196. channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
  1197. using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
  1198. notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
  1199. e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
  1200. loop where the driver did not even try to associate
  1201. * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
  1202. power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
  1203. [Bug 237]
  1204. * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
  1205. wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
  1206. non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
  1207. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
  1208. in .config
  1209. * changed scan results data structure to include all information
  1210. elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
  1211. driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
  1212. are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
  1213. start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
  1214. work with new features
  1215. * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
  1216. application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
  1217. binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
  1218. QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
  1219. * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
  1220. available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
  1221. http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
  1222. * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
  1223. only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
  1224. 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
  1225. * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
  1226. (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
  1227. * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
  1228. full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
  1229. PAC-Opaque)
  1230. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  1231. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
  1232. * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
  1233. internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
  1234. WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
  1235. * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
  1236. .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
  1237. driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
  1238. * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
  1239. driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
  1240. [Bug 232]
  1241. * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
  1242. * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
  1243. (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
  1244. buffer read overflow
  1245. * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
  1246. monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
  1247. be lost
  1248. * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
  1249. recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
  1250. 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
  1251. * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
  1252. initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
  1253. * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
  1254. * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
  1255. * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
  1256. * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
  1257. * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
  1258. * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
  1259. tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
  1260. method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
  1261. different)
  1262. * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
  1263. of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
  1264. * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
  1265. * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
  1266. generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
  1267. for PAC provisioning)
  1268. * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
  1269. * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
  1270. store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
  1271. * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
  1272. (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
  1273. * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
  1274. dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
  1275. * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
  1276. * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
  1277. added support for EAP-FAST
  1278. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  1279. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
  1280. * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
  1281. processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
  1282. * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
  1283. (still experimental)
  1284. * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
  1285. if TLS library initialization fails
  1286. * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
  1287. (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
  1288. needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
  1289. IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
  1290. 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
  1291. * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
  1292. needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
  1293. setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
  1294. .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
  1295. have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
  1296. (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
  1297. x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
  1298. of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
  1299. * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
  1300. IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
  1301. * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
  1302. draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
  1303. * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
  1304. frame protection)
  1305. (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
  1306. (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
  1307. * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
  1308. commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
  1309. immediately without sending a command
  1310. * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
  1311. needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
  1312. use PIN)
  1313. * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
  1314. be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
  1315. partial AID
  1316. * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
  1317. server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
  1318. altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
  1319. * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
  1320. affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
  1321. * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
  1322. return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
  1323. will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
  1324. parameter is not exposed
  1325. 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
  1326. * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
  1327. (wide-char functions)
  1328. * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
  1329. issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
  1330. keys
  1331. * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
  1332. avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
  1333. * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
  1334. (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
  1335. * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
  1336. return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
  1337. will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
  1338. when determining whether there are pending messages
  1339. * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
  1340. Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
  1341. control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
  1342. localhost was used)
  1343. * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
  1344. - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
  1345. future versions)
  1346. - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
  1347. in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
  1348. - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
  1349. case when group is not changed
  1350. * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
  1351. Windows version
  1352. * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
  1353. (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
  1354. EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
  1355. destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
  1356. used even if the source address does not match with it
  1357. (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
  1358. * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
  1359. Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
  1360. addresses from being accepted as local control requests
  1361. * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
  1362. ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
  1363. there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
  1364. implementation
  1365. * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
  1366. learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
  1367. should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
  1368. correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
  1369. USB) [Bug 113]
  1370. * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
  1371. wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
  1372. network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
  1373. * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
  1374. registry (ctrl_interface string value in
  1375. HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
  1376. required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
  1377. to be enabled)
  1378. * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
  1379. * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
  1380. 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
  1381. * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
  1382. * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
  1383. processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
  1384. stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
  1385. * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
  1386. configure the maximum EAP fragment size
  1387. * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
  1388. avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
  1389. will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
  1390. is terminated
  1391. * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
  1392. (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
  1393. library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
  1394. not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
  1395. basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
  1396. included)
  1397. * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  1398. direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
  1399. * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
  1400. PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
  1401. a raw PSK (hex string)
  1402. * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
  1403. was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
  1404. WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
  1405. variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
  1406. set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
  1407. automatically for the network and that can be used with
  1408. GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
  1409. * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
  1410. status changes or when associating with a different network
  1411. * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
  1412. if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
  1413. * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
  1414. to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
  1415. * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
  1416. draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
  1417. * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
  1418. build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
  1419. * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
  1420. * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
  1421. at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
  1422. a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
  1423. handle
  1424. * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
  1425. * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
  1426. WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
  1427. * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
  1428. OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
  1429. l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
  1430. wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
  1431. requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
  1432. only one application to open the device
  1433. * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
  1434. {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
  1435. specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
  1436. allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
  1437. when specifying the interface
  1438. * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
  1439. and re-inserted [Bug 159]
  1440. * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
  1441. big endian hosts [Bug 146]
  1442. 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
  1443. * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
  1444. phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
  1445. * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
  1446. networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
  1447. refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
  1448. * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
  1449. formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
  1450. do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
  1451. * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
  1452. in Windows registry
  1453. * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
  1454. Windows registry
  1455. * added support for controlling network device operational state
  1456. (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
  1457. http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
  1458. that can use this information)
  1459. * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
  1460. * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
  1461. [Bug 140]
  1462. * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
  1463. primitive
  1464. * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
  1465. this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
  1466. * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
  1467. of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
  1468. default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
  1469. on how to use this)
  1470. 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
  1471. * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
  1472. access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
  1473. * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
  1474. v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
  1475. * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
  1476. * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
  1477. starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
  1478. a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
  1479. * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
  1480. interface (-bbr0 on command line)
  1481. * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
  1482. * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
  1483. instead of a static list generated at build time
  1484. * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
  1485. removing PMKSA entries
  1486. * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
  1487. * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
  1488. WPA/RSN IE
  1489. * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
  1490. if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
  1491. 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
  1492. * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
  1493. a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
  1494. the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
  1495. * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
  1496. * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
  1497. option can be changed if needed
  1498. * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
  1499. using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
  1500. interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
  1501. use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
  1502. recommended)
  1503. * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
  1504. to disable TLS library for normal authentication
  1505. * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
  1506. used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
  1507. wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
  1508. would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
  1509. not likely to happen in real use.
  1510. * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
  1511. current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
  1512. * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
  1513. EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
  1514. ap_scan=2)
  1515. 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
  1516. * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
  1517. direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
  1518. build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
  1519. and stakey=1)
  1520. * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
  1521. decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
  1522. * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
  1523. * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
  1524. other C libraries and compilers
  1525. * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
  1526. wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
  1527. code more portable
  1528. * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
  1529. (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
  1530. C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
  1531. example makefile for nmake
  1532. * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
  1533. (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
  1534. (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
  1535. contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
  1536. normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
  1537. 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
  1538. 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
  1539. unregister a service
  1540. * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
  1541. wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
  1542. * added better support for multiple control interface backends
  1543. (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
  1544. * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
  1545. and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
  1546. causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
  1547. refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
  1548. EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
  1549. * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
  1550. WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
  1551. for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
  1552. CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
  1553. * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
  1554. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
  1555. winpcap, freebsd, none)
  1556. * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
  1557. (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
  1558. reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
  1559. 3 ms
  1560. * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
  1561. RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
  1562. * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
  1563. configuration blob
  1564. * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
  1565. support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
  1566. * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
  1567. session resumption
  1568. * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
  1569. certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
  1570. likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
  1571. * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
  1572. with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
  1573. easily on cross-compilation builds
  1574. * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
  1575. version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
  1576. Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
  1577. Windows service
  1578. * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
  1579. wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
  1580. release since it is not needed anymore
  1581. * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
  1582. since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
  1583. 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
  1584. * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
  1585. and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
  1586. * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
  1587. in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
  1588. * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
  1589. avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
  1590. during handshake
  1591. * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
  1592. (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
  1593. * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
  1594. for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
  1595. would get
  1596. * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
  1597. cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
  1598. * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
  1599. cannot be parsed successfully
  1600. * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
  1601. * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
  1602. * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
  1603. * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
  1604. * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
  1605. the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
  1606. * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
  1607. drivers that may take more than five second to associate
  1608. 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
  1609. * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
  1610. RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
  1611. * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
  1612. to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
  1613. variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
  1614. use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
  1615. private_key
  1616. * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
  1617. state machine interface in v0.4.5)
  1618. * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
  1619. sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
  1620. * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
  1621. to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
  1622. system-wide trusted CA list
  1623. * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
  1624. file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
  1625. this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
  1626. driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
  1627. configuration to override the values from the configuration)
  1628. * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
  1629. and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
  1630. for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
  1631. wpa_supplicant process
  1632. * wpa_gui:
  1633. - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
  1634. - added WEP key configuration
  1635. - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
  1636. * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
  1637. received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
  1638. * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
  1639. * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
  1640. avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
  1641. * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
  1642. authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
  1643. EAP authentication immediately after association
  1644. 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
  1645. * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
  1646. roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
  1647. * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
  1648. generate, e.g., man pages
  1649. * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
  1650. PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
  1651. Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
  1652. * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
  1653. for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
  1654. frame
  1655. * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
  1656. layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
  1657. header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
  1658. to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
  1659. Ethernet
  1660. * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
  1661. tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
  1662. server_nai configuration option from network blocks
  1663. * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
  1664. to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
  1665. these multicast addresses by default
  1666. * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
  1667. * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
  1668. option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
  1669. in wpa_supplicant.conf)
  1670. * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
  1671. this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
  1672. update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
  1673. and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
  1674. * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
  1675. (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
  1676. 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
  1677. * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
  1678. (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
  1679. patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
  1680. OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
  1681. to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
  1682. * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
  1683. for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
  1684. (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
  1685. this with private_key)
  1686. * ported wpa_gui to Windows
  1687. * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
  1688. built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
  1689. * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
  1690. with drivers that do not support WPA
  1691. * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
  1692. * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
  1693. configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
  1694. 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
  1695. * added support for adding and removing network from the current
  1696. configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
  1697. <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
  1698. be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
  1699. for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
  1700. these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
  1701. * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
  1702. the control interface, for example:
  1703. wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
  1704. * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
  1705. quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
  1706. * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
  1707. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1708. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1709. (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
  1710. PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
  1711. doing this for PEAPv0, too)
  1712. * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
  1713. wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
  1714. open network configuration)
  1715. 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
  1716. * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
  1717. Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
  1718. anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
  1719. * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
  1720. * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
  1721. * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
  1722. (l2_packet_*.c)
  1723. 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
  1724. * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
  1725. (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
  1726. this)
  1727. * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
  1728. wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
  1729. driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
  1730. networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
  1731. and the network block order in the file is used instead
  1732. * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
  1733. freed memory if pre-authentication times out
  1734. * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
  1735. authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
  1736. altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
  1737. * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
  1738. NDIS drivers
  1739. * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
  1740. control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
  1741. configuration file
  1742. * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
  1743. processing
  1744. * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
  1745. * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
  1746. * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
  1747. * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
  1748. entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
  1749. the key in this case
  1750. * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
  1751. configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
  1752. driver_ops function set_param()
  1753. * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
  1754. API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
  1755. specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
  1756. * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
  1757. entered as a number, not group name
  1758. * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
  1759. by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
  1760. cards
  1761. 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
  1762. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
  1763. packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
  1764. ioctl order in v0.4.0
  1765. * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
  1766. branch of madwifi CVS tree
  1767. * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
  1768. authentication session
  1769. * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
  1770. password has expired)
  1771. * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
  1772. and adding them to the certificate chain
  1773. * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
  1774. were used
  1775. * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
  1776. identity or password is entered through control interface
  1777. * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
  1778. with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
  1779. * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
  1780. automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
  1781. Qt development tools)
  1782. * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
  1783. wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
  1784. 'reassociate' command has been used
  1785. * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
  1786. networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
  1787. other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
  1788. * added support for getting scan results through control interface
  1789. * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
  1790. i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
  1791. be disabled with eap_workaround=0
  1792. 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
  1793. * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
  1794. used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
  1795. debugging code is not needed
  1796. * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
  1797. Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
  1798. overflow
  1799. * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
  1800. Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
  1801. * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
  1802. replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
  1803. (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
  1804. but they may be removed in the future)
  1805. * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
  1806. * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
  1807. Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
  1808. interoperate with some authentication servers
  1809. * added support for sending TLS alerts
  1810. * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
  1811. is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
  1812. * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
  1813. wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
  1814. file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
  1815. delayed until the PIN is available
  1816. * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
  1817. private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
  1818. new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
  1819. - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
  1820. - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
  1821. * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
  1822. * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
  1823. allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
  1824. wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
  1825. and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
  1826. -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
  1827. command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
  1828. control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
  1829. events
  1830. * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
  1831. default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
  1832. * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
  1833. Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
  1834. using assoc_info events
  1835. * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
  1836. process id into a file
  1837. 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
  1838. * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
  1839. wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
  1840. even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
  1841. authentication servers
  1842. * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
  1843. using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
  1844. ap_scan=2)
  1845. * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
  1846. identity/password/otp
  1847. * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
  1848. EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
  1849. * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
  1850. mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
  1851. * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
  1852. ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
  1853. configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
  1854. 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
  1855. * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
  1856. when no matching AP is found
  1857. 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
  1858. * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
  1859. when using WPA2-PSK
  1860. * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
  1861. WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
  1862. retransmission of dropped frames)
  1863. * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
  1864. (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
  1865. * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
  1866. RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
  1867. pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
  1868. requires EAP workarounds
  1869. * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
  1870. authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
  1871. where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
  1872. * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
  1873. authentication attempt
  1874. * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
  1875. in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
  1876. verified)
  1877. 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
  1878. * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
  1879. (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
  1880. WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
  1881. key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
  1882. example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
  1883. only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
  1884. in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
  1885. supports WPA-None)
  1886. * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
  1887. mingw
  1888. 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
  1889. * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
  1890. wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
  1891. * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
  1892. small problems with error case processing not terminating on
  1893. EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
  1894. * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
  1895. Cisco AP when using WPA2
  1896. * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
  1897. Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
  1898. extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
  1899. certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
  1900. included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
  1901. 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
  1902. * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
  1903. * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
  1904. could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
  1905. * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
  1906. (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
  1907. but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
  1908. ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
  1909. * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
  1910. authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
  1911. * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
  1912. (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
  1913. running)
  1914. * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
  1915. * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
  1916. based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
  1917. this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
  1918. the interface name
  1919. * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
  1920. file
  1921. * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
  1922. when exiting
  1923. * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
  1924. clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
  1925. problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
  1926. machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
  1927. information
  1928. * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
  1929. allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
  1930. * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
  1931. function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
  1932. * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
  1933. interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
  1934. authentication
  1935. * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
  1936. all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
  1937. unicast key)
  1938. * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
  1939. drivers
  1940. * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
  1941. dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
  1942. 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
  1943. * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
  1944. PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
  1945. * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
  1946. * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
  1947. association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
  1948. e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
  1949. drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
  1950. ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
  1951. file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
  1952. policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
  1953. group, proto variables
  1954. * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
  1955. - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
  1956. - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
  1957. - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
  1958. * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
  1959. CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
  1960. * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
  1961. (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
  1962. * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
  1963. easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
  1964. the association
  1965. 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
  1966. * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
  1967. (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
  1968. * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
  1969. * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
  1970. ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
  1971. actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
  1972. interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
  1973. * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
  1974. EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
  1975. peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
  1976. (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
  1977. reply
  1978. * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
  1979. the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
  1980. but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
  1981. label which is thus more suitable default option
  1982. * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
  1983. * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
  1984. * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
  1985. (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
  1986. * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
  1987. (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
  1988. WEP keys)
  1989. * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
  1990. * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
  1991. random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
  1992. * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
  1993. * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
  1994. session resumption)
  1995. * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
  1996. (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
  1997. * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
  1998. key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
  1999. dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
  2000. and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
  2001. * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
  2002. certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
  2003. configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
  2004. * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
  2005. interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
  2006. drivers expect this
  2007. * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
  2008. connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
  2009. * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
  2010. * added support for LEAP with WPA
  2011. * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
  2012. data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
  2013. v17 or newer
  2014. * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
  2015. only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
  2016. * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
  2017. must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
  2018. forever
  2019. * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
  2020. default; all key information can be included with -K command line
  2021. argument to match the previous behavior
  2022. * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
  2023. default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
  2024. * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
  2025. if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
  2026. with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
  2027. bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
  2028. * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
  2029. key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
  2030. handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
  2031. of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
  2032. association
  2033. * changed driver interface API:
  2034. - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
  2035. version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
  2036. not defined)
  2037. - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
  2038. - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
  2039. interfaces has been converted to the new API
  2040. * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
  2041. wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
  2042. command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
  2043. (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
  2044. * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
  2045. sequential EAP packets
  2046. * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
  2047. CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
  2048. * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
  2049. verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
  2050. reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
  2051. Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
  2052. configuration
  2053. * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
  2054. IEs than just one WPA IE
  2055. * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
  2056. layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
  2057. required kernel mods have not yet been committed
  2058. * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
  2059. disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
  2060. 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
  2061. * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
  2062. Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
  2063. * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
  2064. AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
  2065. for the broadcast key
  2066. * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
  2067. re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
  2068. WPA
  2069. * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
  2070. driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
  2071. currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
  2072. eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
  2073. Linux wireless extensions get support for this
  2074. * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
  2075. scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
  2076. enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
  2077. this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
  2078. use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
  2079. supporting wireless extensions.
  2080. * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
  2081. operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
  2082. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  2083. EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
  2084. * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
  2085. wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
  2086. but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
  2087. a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
  2088. password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
  2089. * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
  2090. does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
  2091. started again
  2092. * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
  2093. frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
  2094. information so that full authentication does not need to be
  2095. restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
  2096. frontend is attached
  2097. * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
  2098. make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
  2099. and to provide access control for the control interface;
  2100. wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
  2101. (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
  2102. ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
  2103. the control interface;
  2104. wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
  2105. in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
  2106. and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
  2107. cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
  2108. * added support for LEAP
  2109. * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
  2110. * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
  2111. this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
  2112. results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
  2113. 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
  2114. * sort scan results to improve AP selection
  2115. * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
  2116. * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
  2117. * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
  2118. TLS processing
  2119. * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
  2120. (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
  2121. both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
  2122. automatically)
  2123. * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
  2124. * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
  2125. WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
  2126. the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
  2127. from the station)
  2128. * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
  2129. EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
  2130. * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
  2131. * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
  2132. does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
  2133. EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
  2134. * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
  2135. (key_mgmt=NONE)
  2136. 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
  2137. * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
  2138. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
  2139. EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
  2140. EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
  2141. EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
  2142. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
  2143. EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
  2144. EAP-TTLS/PAP
  2145. EAP-TTLS/CHAP
  2146. EAP-PEAP/TLS
  2147. EAP-PEAP/GTC
  2148. EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
  2149. EAP-GTC
  2150. EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
  2151. * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
  2152. sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
  2153. tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
  2154. * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
  2155. * added support for requesting identity and password information using
  2156. control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
  2157. EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
  2158. a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
  2159. * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
  2160. all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
  2161. * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
  2162. * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
  2163. * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
  2164. * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
  2165. with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
  2166. library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
  2167. anyway for TLS)
  2168. * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
  2169. (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
  2170. 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
  2171. * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
  2172. Supplicant
  2173. - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
  2174. - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
  2175. - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
  2176. [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
  2177. - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
  2178. - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
  2179. - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
  2180. [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
  2181. (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
  2182. default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
  2183. - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
  2184. client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
  2185. - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
  2186. disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
  2187. option
  2188. - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
  2189. be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
  2190. - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
  2191. * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
  2192. * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
  2193. (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
  2194. EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
  2195. * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
  2196. - improved PTK Key Handshake
  2197. - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
  2198. * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
  2199. EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
  2200. TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
  2201. includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
  2202. * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
  2203. wpa_supplicant
  2204. - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
  2205. mode
  2206. - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
  2207. * made some feature compile time configurable
  2208. - .config file for make
  2209. - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
  2210. - EAPOL/EAP functions
  2211. 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
  2212. * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
