may potentially breaks 1001 compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions) 1002 * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event 1003 messages to reduce latency in showing these 1004 (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this) 1005 * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count) 1006 * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on 1007 configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids) 1008 * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not 1009 backwards compatible with old versions 1010 * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air 1011 and over-the-DS) 1012 * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP 1013 selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel 1014 * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more 1015 dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in 1016 the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within 1017 ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network 1018 configuration block to request background scans less frequently when 1019 signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background 1020 scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably 1021 (this is currently only available with nl80211) 1022 * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages 1023 * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with 1024 linguist and add German translation 1025 * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS) 1026 * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no 1027 enabled networks 1028 1029 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1 1030 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API 1031 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers 1032 will need modifications 1033 * cleaned up various module interfaces 1034 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a 1035 single document 1036 * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to 1037 avoid issues when roaming between APs 1038 * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API 1039 (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1) 1040 * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks 1041 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory 1042 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y) 1043 * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from 1044 receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated 1045 * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops 1046 wrapper 1047 * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information 1048 over multiple scans (that may include only partial results) 1049 * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while 1050 the dialog is kept open 1051 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0 1052 * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some 1053 unnecessary scans and to speed up association 1054 1055 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0 1056 * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this 1057 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>) 1058 * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535 1059 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes) 1060 * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line 1061 (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the 1062 interface will be used 1063 * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize 1064 scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden 1065 SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only 1066 with nl80211 1067 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash 1068 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y) 1069 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to 1070 fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication 1071 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard 1072 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303] 1073 * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication 1074 and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with 1075 nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol 1076 to be used (IEEE 802.11r) 1077 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the 1078 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w) 1079 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307] 1080 * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd 1081 * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network 1082 block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks 1083 (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality 1084 into wpa_supplicant 1085 * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers 1086 (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood) 1087 * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs 1088 and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog 1089 and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin, 1090 wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn 1091 (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no 1092 wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed) 1093 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux 1094 nl80211/mac80211 functionality 1095 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009 1096 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to 1097 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations 1098 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS 1099 * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group 1100 address frames 1101 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing 1102 * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan 1103 (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed 1104 up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small 1105 subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently 1106 supported only with -Dnl80211) 1107 * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the 1108 association event and the following EAPOL-Key 1109 * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow 1110 network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within 1111 an ESS (same SSID) 1112 * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1) 1113 1114 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7 1115 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 1116 (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to 1117 enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in 1118 addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to 1119 configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y 1120 into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in 1121 wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration 1122 file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to 1123 manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details 1124 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf) 1125 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket 1126 * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server 1127 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default 1128 * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui 1129 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51 1130 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed 1131 DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user 1132 will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc 1133 servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog 1134 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0 1135 1136 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6 1137 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA 1138 (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key; 1139 enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config 1140 and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration) 1141 * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be 1142 used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks 1143 against TKIP deficiencies 1144 * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against 1145 TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time 1146 between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option 1147 CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config 1148 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits, 1149 not bytes 1150 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the 1151 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream 1152 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is 1153 needed with that version anymore) 1154 * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux 1155 mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used 1156 with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed) 1157 * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in 1158 consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch' 1159 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate 1160 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know 1161 about 1162 1163 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5 1164 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the 1165 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation 1166 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0 1167 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2 1168 (IEEE 802.11w) 1169 * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to 1170 use correct FTIE 1171 * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication 1172 method with wpa_gui-qt4 1173 1174 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4 1175 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2 1176 * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST 1177 * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver 1178 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0 1179 * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to 1180 allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque 1181 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC 1182 * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the 1183 internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8 1184 encapsulated RSA key can now be used) 1185 * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal 1186 LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA 1187 calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y) 1188 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key 1189 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261] 1190 * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching) 1191 1192 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3 1193 * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were 1194 previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK, 1195 EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the 1196 replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate 1197 'identity' value, that would now be configured as 1198 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the 1199 replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to 1200 present random binary data) 1201 * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added, 1202 if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an 1203 external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant 1204 when an interface is added 1205 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0 1206 * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for 1207 indicating when new scan results become available 1208 * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be 1209 fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command 1210 can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time) 1211 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION 1212 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication 1213 * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic 1214 WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X 1215 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000 1216 1217 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2 1218 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file 1219 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line) 1220 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute 1221 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages 1222 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf); 1223 this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs 1224 changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old 1225 versions 1226 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with 1227 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187) 1228 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for 1229 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1") 1230 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and 1231 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all 1232 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now 1233 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports 1234 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps, 1235 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in 1236 loop where the driver did not even try to associate 1237 * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce 1238 power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second) 1239 [Bug 237] 1240 * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of 1241 wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged, 1242 non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details; 1243 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y 1244 in .config 1245 * changed scan results data structure to include all information 1246 elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result() 1247 driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results 1248 are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should 1249 start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to 1250 work with new features 1251 * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4 1252 application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows 1253 binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires 1254 QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries 1255 * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs 1256 available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier: 1257 http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip 1258 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt); 1259 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version 1260 1261 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1 1262 * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash 1263 (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format 1264 * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to 1265 full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired 1266 PAC-Opaque) 1267 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest 1268 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt) 1269 * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake 1270 internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and 1271 WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key) 1272 * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in 1273 .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the 1274 driver to take care of the 4-way handshake 1275 * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using 1276 driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965) 1277 [Bug 232] 1278 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0 1279 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the 1280 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential 1281 buffer read overflow 1282 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface 1283 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to 1284 be lost 1285 * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report 1286 recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243] 1287 1288 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0 1289 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting 1290 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks 1291 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support 1292 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48 1293 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47 1294 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation 1295 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field 1296 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in 1297 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer 1298 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be 1299 different) 1300 * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2 1301 of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST 1302 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths 1303 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that 1304 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported 1305 for PAC provisioning) 1306 * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning 1307 * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to 1308 store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string) 1309 * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format 1310 (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string) 1311 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before 1312 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190] 1313 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label 1314 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and 1315 added support for EAP-FAST 1316 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest 1317 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt) 1318 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be 1319 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent 1320 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection 1321 (still experimental) 1322 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory 1323 if TLS library initialization fails 1324 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect) 1325 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes 1326 needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and 1327 IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC) 1328 1329 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6 1330 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the 1331 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by 1332 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in 1333 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not 1334 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required 1335 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on 1336 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some 1337 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB) 1338 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in 1339 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey 1340 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest 1341 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt) 1342 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management 1343 frame protection) 1344 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.) 1345 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.) 1346 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for 1347 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it 1348 immediately without sending a command 1349 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not 1350 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not 1351 use PIN) 1352 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to 1353 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on 1354 partial AID 1355 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication 1356 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g., 1357 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com") 1358 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only 1359 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys) 1360 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not 1361 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*" 1362 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the 1363 parameter is not exposed 1364 1365 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5 1366 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined 1367 (wide-char functions) 1368 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition 1369 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP 1370 keys 1371 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to 1372 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165] 1373 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files 1374 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly) 1375 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to 1376 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients 1377 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0 1378 when determining whether there are pending messages 1379 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets: 1380 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default 1381 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to 1382 localhost was used) 1383 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets: 1384 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in 1385 future versions) 1386 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface 1387 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel 1388 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the 1389 case when group is not changed 1390 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in 1391 Windows version 1392 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address 1393 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for 1394 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the 1395 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is 1396 used even if the source address does not match with it 1397 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580) 1398 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in 1399 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged 1400 addresses from being accepted as local control requests 1401 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external 1402 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and 1403 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this 1404 implementation 1405 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to 1406 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this 1407 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized 1408 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500 1409 USB) [Bug 113] 1410 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously, 1411 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first 1412 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0') 1413 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in 1414 registry (ctrl_interface string value in 1415 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is 1416 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded 1417 to be enabled) 1418 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4 1419 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format 1420 1421 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4 1422 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143] 1423 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame 1424 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11 1425 stack (wireless-dev.git tree) 1426 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to 1427 configure the maximum EAP fragment size 1428 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to 1429 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC 1430 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant 1431 is terminated 1432 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation 1433 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS 1434 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do 1435 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete; 1436 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet 1437 included) 1438 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e 1439 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake 1440 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old 1441 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as 1442 a raw PSK (hex string) 1443 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block 1444 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on 1445 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental 1446 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is 1447 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned 1448 automatically for the network and that can be used with 1449 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands) 1450 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect 1451 status changes or when associating with a different network 1452 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list 1453 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case) 1454 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due 1455 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155] 1456 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK, 1457 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt) 1458 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for 1459 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory) 1460 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events 1461 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet 1462 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of 1463 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid 1464 handle 1465 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID 1466 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts: 1467 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory 1468 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for 1469 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new 1470 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build 1471 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO 1472 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows 1473 only one application to open the device 1474 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g., 1475 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap 1476 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still 1477 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore 1478 when specifying the interface 1479 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed 1480 and re-inserted [Bug 159] 1481 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on 1482 big endian hosts [Bug 146] 1483 1484 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3 1485 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as 1486 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2) 1487 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted 1488 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom, 1489 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106] 1490 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is 1491 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers 1492 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode 1493 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured 1494 in Windows registry 1495 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into 1496 Windows registry 1497 * added support for controlling network device operational state 1498 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see 1499 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client 1500 that can use this information) 1501 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration 1502 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode 1503 [Bug 140] 1504 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request 1505 primitive 1506 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so 1507 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK) 1508 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead 1509 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by 1510 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information 1511 on how to use this) 1512 1513 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2 1514 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card 1515 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA 1516 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in 1517 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types) 1518 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak 1519 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when 1520 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association 1521 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver) 1522 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge 1523 interface (-bbr0 on command line) 1524 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching 1525 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods 1526 instead of a static list generated at build time 1527 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when 1528 removing PMKSA entries 1529 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication 1530 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid 1531 WPA/RSN IE 1532 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg 1533 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH 1534 1535 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1 1536 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using 1537 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in 1538 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test) 1539 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods) 1540 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration 1541 option can be changed if needed 1542 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when 1543 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect 1544 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though 1545 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not 1546 recommended) 1547 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not 1548 to disable TLS library for normal authentication 1549 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver 1550 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in 1551 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change 1552 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is 1553 not likely to happen in real use. 1554 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the 1555 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry 1556 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes 1557 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or 1558 ap_scan=2) 1559 1560 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases) 1561 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e 1562 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both 1563 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y 1564 and stakey=1) 1565 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to 1566 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly 1567 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session 1568 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to 1569 other C libraries and compilers 1570 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into 1571 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make 1572 code more portable 1573 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++ 1574 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual 1575 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an 1576 example makefile for nmake 1577 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters 1578 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data 1579 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry 1580 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a 1581 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant, 1582 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service, 1583 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to 1584 unregister a service 1585 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into 1586 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED 1587 * added better support for multiple control interface backends 1588 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported 1589 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer 1590 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not 1591 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll 1592 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and 1593 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows 1594 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using 1595 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting 1596 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with 1597 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config 1598 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config 1599 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap, 1600 winpcap, freebsd, none) 1601 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap 1602 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to 1603 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about 1604 3 ms 1605 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than 1606 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning 1607 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a 1608 configuration blob 1609 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added 1610 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob 1611 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for 1612 session resumption 1613 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows 1614 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is 1615 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates) 1616 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this 1617 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more 1618 easily on cross-compilation builds 1619 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative 1620 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using 1621 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a 1622 Windows service 1623 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and 1624 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary 1625 release since it is not needed anymore 1626 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW 1627 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library 1628 1629 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases) 1630 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap 1631 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address 1632 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used 1633 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages 1634 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to 1635 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point 1636 during handshake 1637 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables 1638 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept 1639 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values 1640 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file 1641 would get 1642 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many 1643 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake) 1644 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file 1645 cannot be parsed successfully 1646 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng 1647 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents 1648 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration 1649 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID 1650 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if 1651 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE 1652 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with 1653 drivers that may take more than five second to associate 1654 1655 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6 1656 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in 1657 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration 1658 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having 1659 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates); 1660 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to 1661 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert, 1662 private_key 1663 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA 1664 state machine interface in v0.4.5) 1665 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make 1666 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly 1667 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used 1668 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the 1669 system-wide trusted CA list 1670 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration 1671 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for 1672 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide 1673 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a 1674 configuration to override the values from the configuration) 1675 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding 1676 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument 1677 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart 1678 wpa_supplicant process 1679 * wpa_gui: 1680 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified 1681 - added WEP key configuration 1682 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration 1683 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each 1684 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout 1685 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory) 1686 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to 1687 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces 1688 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up 1689 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting 1690 EAP authentication immediately after association 1691 1692 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5 1693 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow 1694 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one 1695 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to 1696 generate, e.g., man pages 1697 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for 1698 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use 1699 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames) 1700 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication 1701 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success 1702 frame 1703 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link 1704 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this 1705 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier 1706 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than 1707 Ethernet 1708 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be 1709 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including 1710 server_nai configuration option from network blocks 1711 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order 1712 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include 1713 these multicast addresses by default 1714 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19 1715 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND 1716 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used 1717 in wpa_supplicant.conf) 1718 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config'); 1719 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global 1720 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli 1721 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store 1722 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command 1723 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid') 1724 1725 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4 1726 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support 1727 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct 1728 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the 1729 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order 1730 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support) 1731 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI) 1732 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS) 1733 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure 1734 this with private_key) 1735 * ported wpa_gui to Windows 1736 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be 1737 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows 1738 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used 1739 with drivers that do not support WPA 1740 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support 1741 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all 1742 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and 1743 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>') 1744 * added support for adding and removing network from the current 1745 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network 1746 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can 1747 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done 1748 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so 1749 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted 1750 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through 1751 the control interface, for example: 1752 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\"" 1753 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double 1754 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end") 1755 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer, 1756 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can 1757 be disabled with eap_workaround=0 1758 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for 1759 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be 1760 doing this for PEAPv0, too) 1761 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the 1762 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to 1763 open network configuration) 1764 1765 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3 1766 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g., 1767 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required 1768 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone 1769 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support 1770 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux 1771 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files 1772 (l2_packet_*.c) 1773 1774 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2 1775 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4 1776 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with 1777 this) 1778 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks; 1779 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the 1780 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for 1781 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored 1782 and the network block order in the file is used instead 1783 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using 1784 freed memory if pre-authentication times out 1785 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the 1786 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables 1787 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2 1788 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired 1789 NDIS drivers 1790 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the 1791 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the 1792 configuration file 1793 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result 1794 processing 1795 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46 1796 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation 1797 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation 1798 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to 1799 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as 1800 the key in this case 1801 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the 1802 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new 1803 driver_ops function set_param() 1804 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface 1805 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver 1806 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames 1807 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is 1808 entered as a number, not group name 1809 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant 1810 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network 1811 cards 1812 1813 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1 1814 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL 1815 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed 1816 ioctl order in v0.4.0 1817 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD' 1818 branch of madwifi CVS tree 1819 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP 1820 authentication session 1821 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the 1822 password has expired) 1823 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files 1824 and adding them to the certificate chain 1825 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys 1826 were used 1827 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when 1828 identity or password is entered through control interface 1829 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface 1830 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix 1831 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build 1832 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires 1833 Qt development tools) 1834 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting 1835 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before 1836 'reassociate' command has been used 1837 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured 1838 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all 1839 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any') 1840 * added support for getting scan results through control interface 1841 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer, 1842 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can 1843 be disabled with eap_workaround=0 1844 1845 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases) 1846 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be 1847 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if 1848 debugging code is not needed 1849 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data 1850 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer 1851 overflow 1852 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired 1853 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired' 1854 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be 1855 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit()) 1856 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility, 1857 but they may be removed in the future) 1858 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode 1859 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect 1860 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to 1861 interoperate with some authentication servers 1862 * added support for sending TLS alerts 1863 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or 1864 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP 1865 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g., 1866 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration 1867 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is 1868 delayed until the PIN is available 1869 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for 1870 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config); 1871 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables: 1872 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path 1873 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id 1874 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX 1875 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that 1876 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on 1877 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed 1878 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments: 1879 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new 1880 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a 1881 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing 1882 events 1883 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by 1884 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1) 1885 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where 1886 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not 1887 using assoc_info events 1888 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current 1889 process id into a file 1890 1891 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases) 1892 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force 1893 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages 1894 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some 1895 authentication servers 1896 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when 1897 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using 1898 ap_scan=2) 1899 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for 1900 identity/password/otp 1901 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of 1902 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS 1903 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed 1904 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting 1905 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both 1906 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the 1907 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW 1908 1909 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6 1910 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing 1911 when no matching AP is found 1912 1913 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5 1914 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP 1915 when using WPA2-PSK 1916 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as 1917 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow 1918 retransmission of dropped frames) 1919 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version 1920 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames) 1921 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for 1922 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and 1923 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server 1924 requires EAP workarounds 1925 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout 1926 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases 1927 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication 1928 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS 1929 authentication attempt 1930 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded 1931 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was 1932 verified) 1933 1934 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4 1935 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration 1936 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode 1937 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no 1938 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an 1939 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented 1940 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add 1941 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver 1942 supports WPA-None) 1943 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using 1944 mingw 1945 1946 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3 1947 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for 1948 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE) 1949 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of 1950 small problems with error case processing not terminating on 1951 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout 1952 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a 1953 Cisco AP when using WPA2 1954 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt); 1955 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS 1956 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without 1957 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is 1958 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch. 1959 1960 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2 1961 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set 1962 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version 1963 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed 1964 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs 1965 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c, 1966 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once 1967 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching 1968 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP 1969 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt 1970 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events 1971 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is 1972 running) 1973 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys 1974 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name 1975 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis, 1976 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as 1977 the interface name 1978 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration 1979 file 1980 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio 1981 when exiting 1982 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before 1983 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid 1984 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state 1985 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old 1986 information 1987 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to 1988 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates 1989 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate() 1990 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections 1991 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver 1992 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) 1993 authentication 1994 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for 1995 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/ 1996 unicast key) 1997 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2 1998 drivers 1999 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without 2000 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0) 2001 2002 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1 2003 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for 2004 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12) 2005 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y 2006 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of 2007 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID, 2008 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such 2009 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when 2010 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration 2011 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security 2012 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise, 2013 group, proto variables 2014 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows 2015 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs) 2016 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap 2017 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name 2018 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add 2019 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality 2020 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time; 2021 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back) 2022 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it 2023 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of 2024 the association 2025 2026 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases) 2027 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver 2028 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards) 2029 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument 2030 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS 2031 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was 2032 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to 2033 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1 2034 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled 2035 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding 2036 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf 2037 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled 2038 reply 2039 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to 2040 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1, 2041 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old 2042 label which is thus more suitable default option 2043 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt) 2044 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx 2045 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types 2046 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type 2047 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm 2048 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static 2049 WEP keys) 2050 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM) 2051 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused 2052 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM 2053 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication 2054 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS 2055 session resumption) 2056 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges 2057 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges) 2058 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH 2059 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters 2060 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys 2061 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys 2062 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server 2063 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new 2064 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2 2065 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver 2066 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux 2067 drivers expect this 2068 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA 2069 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM) 2070 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver 2071 * added support for LEAP with WPA 2072 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of 2073 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions 2074 v17 or newer 2075 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start 2076 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP 2077 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails: 2078 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting 2079 forever 2080 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by 2081 default; all key information can be included with -K command line 2082 argument to match the previous behavior 2083 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by 2084 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument) 2085 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104 2086 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode 2087 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy 2088 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper) 2089 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last 2090 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key 2091 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering 2092 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after 2093 association 2094 * changed driver interface API: 2095 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which 2096 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was 2097 not defined) 2098 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls 2099 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver 2100 interfaces has been converted to the new API 2101 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per 2102 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the 2103 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator 2104 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi) 2105 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for 2106 sequential EAP packets 2107 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable, 2108 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification 2109 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4: 2110 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one; 2111 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or 2112 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant 2113 configuration 2114 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other 2115 IEs than just one WPA IE 2116 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211 2117 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the 2118 required kernel mods have not yet been committed 2119 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be 2120 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0 2121 2122 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases) 2123 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and 2124 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly 2125 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the 2126 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero 2127 for the broadcast key 2128 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and 2129 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using 2130 WPA 2131 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard, 2132 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions; 2133 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but 2134 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once 2135 Linux wireless extensions get support for this 2136 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP 2137 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be 2138 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; 2139 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to 2140 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver 2141 supporting wireless extensions. 2142 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g., 2143 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames) 2144 * added support for new EAP authentication methods: 2145 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP 2146 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g., 2147 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command, 2148 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for 2149 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a 2150 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC 2151 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it 2152 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and 2153 started again 2154 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through 2155 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new 2156 information so that full authentication does not need to be 2157 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new 2158 frontend is attached 2159 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to 2160 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces 2161 and to provide access control for the control interface; 2162 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path 2163 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and 2164 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to 2165 the control interface; 2166 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available 2167 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option 2168 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common 2169 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments) 2170 * added support for LEAP 2171 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper 2172 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file; 2173 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan 2174 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order) 2175 2176 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3 2177 * sort scan results to improve AP selection 2178 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases 2179 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout 2180 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and 2181 TLS processing 2182 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>" 2183 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by 2184 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected 2185 automatically) 2186 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x) 2187 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for 2188 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this, 2189 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames 2190 from the station) 2191 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for 2192 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite 2193 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver 2194 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator 2195 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of 2196 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key) 2197 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks 2198 (key_mgmt=NONE) 2199 2200 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2 2201 * added support for new EAP authentication methods: 2202 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge 2203 EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC 2204 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2 2205 EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS 2206 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2 2207 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP 2208 EAP-TTLS/PAP 2209 EAP-TTLS/CHAP 2210 EAP-PEAP/TLS 2211 EAP-PEAP/GTC 2212 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge 2213 EAP-GTC 2214 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface) 2215 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is 2216 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected 2217 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS) 2218 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli 2219 * added support for requesting identity and password information using 2220 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or 2221 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since 2222 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user 2223 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process 2224 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan 2225 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing 2226 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used 2227 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation 2228 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant 2229 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with 2230 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed 2231 anyway for TLS) 2232 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support 2233 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config) 2234 2235 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1 2236 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1) 2237 Supplicant 2238 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1] 2239 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf] 2240 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS) 2241 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt] 2242 - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716] 2243 - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP) 2244 - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt] 2245 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt] 2246 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by 2247 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey) 2248 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert, 2249 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd 2250 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by 2251 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line 2252 option 2253 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to 2254 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality) 2255 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries 2256 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..) 2257 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys 2258 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X 2259 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes) 2260 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) 2261 - improved PTK Key Handshake 2262 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication 2263 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA 2264 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using 2265 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP 2266 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key) 2267 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control 2268 wpa_supplicant 2269 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line 2270 mode 2271 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface 2272 * made some feature compile time configurable 2273 - .config file for make 2274 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..) 2275 - EAPOL/EAP functions 2276 2277 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0 2278 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant 2279
