Import hostapd 0.7.3.

Description

Import hostapd 0.7.3.

Changes:

2010-09-07 - v0.7.3

  • fixed re-association after WPS not initializing WPA state machine in
	  some cases
  • fixed WPS IE update on reconfiguration
  • fixed WPS code not to proxy Probe Request frames for foreign SSIDs
  • added WPS workaround for open networks and some known interop issues
  • fixed WPS Diffie-Hellman derivation to use correct public key length
  • fixed FT RRB messages on big endian CPUs
  • changed WPS protection for brute force AP PIN attacks to disable AP
	  PIN only temporarily (but with increasing time) to avoid usability
	  issues on Label-only devices
  • added wps_ap_pin command for more secure handling of AP PIN
	  operations (e.g., to generate a random AP PIN and only use it for
	  short amount of time)
  • fixed HT STBC negotiation

2010-04-18 - v0.7.2

  • fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
	  active
  • bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
	  configuration options
  • TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
  • EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
	  interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
	  compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
  • cleaned up driver wrapper API for multi-BSS operations
  • nl80211: fix multi-BSS and VLAN operations
  • fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
	  backwards compatible with old versions
  • add SA Query Request processing in AP mode (IEEE 802.11w)
  • fix IGTK PN in group rekeying (IEEE 802.11w)
  • fix WPS PBC session overlap detection to use correct attribute
  • hostapd_notif_Assoc() can now be called with all IEs to simplify
	  driver wrappers
  • work around interoperability issue with some WPS External Registrar
	  implementations
  • nl80211: fix WPS IE update
  • hostapd_cli: add support for action script operations (run a script
	  on hostapd events)
  • fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
  • fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
	  driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)

2010-01-16 - v0.7.1

  • cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
	  is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
	  will need modifications
  • cleaned up various module interfaces
  • merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
	  single document
  • fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
  • moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
  • WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars
  • remove obsolte Prism54.org driver wrapper
  • added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
	  allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
  • EAP-FAST server: piggyback Phase 2 start with the end of Phase 1
  • WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
	  PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
  • added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
	  interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
	  driver=nl80211 for now)
  • fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
	  attribute
  • fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
  • detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
	  hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
	  automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
	  driver=nl80211)

2009-11-21 - v0.7.0

  • increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
	  configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
  • driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
  • added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
  • 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
  • driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
	  reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
  • added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
	  Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
  • fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
	  authentication server
  • fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
  • fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
  • fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
	  standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
	  (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
  • added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
	  functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
	  (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build
	  options)
  • use shared driver wrapper files with wpa_supplicant
  • driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
	  nl80211/mac80211 functionality
  • updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
  • fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
	  interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
  • added some IEEE 802.11n co-existance rules to disable 40 MHz channels
	  or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
	  networks
  • added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
  • added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
