2372012-05-10 - v1.0
238 * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
239 * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
240 This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
241 Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
242 available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
243 Disassoc frames (nl80211).
244 * Drop oldest unknown BSS table entries first. This makes it less
245 likely to hit connection issues in environments with huge number
246 of visible APs.
247 * Add systemd support.
248 * Add support for setting the syslog facility from the config file
249 at build time.
250 * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
251 * AP mode: Allow enable HT20 if driver supports it, by setting the
252 config parameter ieee80211n.
253 * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
254 the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
255 going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
256 config option disassoc_low_ack.
257 * nl80211:
258 - Support GTK rekey offload.
259 - Support PMKSA candidate events. This adds support for RSN
260 pre-authentication with nl80211 interface and drivers that handle
261 roaming internally.
262 * dbus:
263 - Add a DBus signal for EAP SM requests, emitted on the Interface
264 object.
265 - Export max scan ssids supported by the driver as MaxScanSSID.
266 - Add signal Certification for information about server certification.
267 - Add BSSExpireAge and BSSExpireCount interface properties and
268 support set/get, which allows for setting BSS cache expiration age
269 and expiration scan count.
270 - Add ConfigFile to AddInterface properties.
271 - Add Interface.Country property and support to get/set the value.
272 - Add DBus property CurrentAuthMode.
273 - P2P DBus API added.
274 - Emit property changed events (for property BSSs) when adding/
275 removing BSSs.
276 - Treat '' in SSIDs of Interface.Scan as a request for broadcast
277 scan, instead of ignoring it.
278 - Add DBus getter/setter for FastReauth.
279 - Raise PropertiesChanged on org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.
280 * wpa_cli:
281 - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
282 due to inactivity.
283 - Make second argument to set command optional. This can be used to
284 indicate a zero length value.

286 - Add bss_expire_age and bss_expire_count commands to set/get BSS
287 cache expiration age and expiration scan count.
288 - Add ability to set scan interval (the time in seconds wpa_s waits
289 before requesting a new scan after failing to find a suitable
290 network in scan results) using scan_interval command.
291 - Add event CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT for association rejected.
292 - Add command get version, that returns wpa_supplicant version string.
293 - Add command sta_autoconnect for disabling automatic reconnection
294 on receiving disconnection event.
295 - Setting bssid parameter to an empty string "" or any can now be
296 used to clear the bssid_set flag in a network block, i.e., to remove
297 bssid filtering.
298 - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
299 changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
300 enabled as well.
301 - For interworking, add wpa_cli commands interworking_select,
302 interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp, and stop_fetch_anqp.
303 - Many P2P commands were added. See README-P2P.
304 - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
305 - Allow set command to change global config parameters.
306 - Add log_level command, which can be used to display the current
307 debugging level and to change the log level during run time.
308 - Add note command, which can be used to insert notes to the debug
309 log.
310 - Add internal line edit implementation. CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y
311 can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal implementation of
312 line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement
313 for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
314 * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit
315 the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP.
316 * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
317 config file.
318 * wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds.
319 * Add blacklist command, allowing an external program to
320 manage the BSS blacklist and display its current contents.
321 * WPS:
322 - Add wpa_cli wps_pin get command for generating random PINs. This can
323 be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P)
324 operation.
325 - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding
326 them.
327 - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
328 - Add CONFIG_WPS_REG_DISABLE_OPEN=y option to disable open networks
329 by default.
330 - Add wps_ap_pin cli command for wpa_supplicant AP mode.
331 - Add wps_check_pin cli command for processing PIN from user input.
332 UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
333 validate the checksum digit (if present).
334 - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection.
335 - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS
336 operation.
337 - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers.
338 - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
339 Number, and Serial Number changes.
340 - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
341 wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.
342 - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks on
343 failures up to 10.
344 - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
345 be compatible with Windows 7.
346 - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
347 user on how to resolve the issue.
348 - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
349 at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
350 methods are advertised.
351 - When controlling multiple interfaces:
352 - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
353 - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
354 - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
355 all interfaces
356 * WPS ER:
357 - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
358 ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
359 WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
360 - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
361 - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
362 network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
363 current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
364 - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for
365 learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP.
366 * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
367 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
368 for testing protocol extensibility.

370 workarounds.
371 - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
372 * TDLS:
373 - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and
374 add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
375 capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
376 explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
377 - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
378 Use set tdls_disabled.
379 - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
380 - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use
381 CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime
382 with tdls_testing cli command.
383 - Add support for TDLS 802.11z.
384 * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
385 wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
386 for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
387 * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
388 CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters
389 for interworking. wpa_cli commands added to support this are
390 interworking_select, interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp,
391 and stop_fetch_anqp.
392 * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
393 * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
394 previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
395 the list of channels for background scans.
396 * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
397 -ddd to enable.
398 * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.

4112010-04-18 - v0.7.2
412 * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
413 * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
414 strength are present in scan results
415 * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
416 automatic detection of EAP parameters
417 * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
418 certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
419 * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
420 configuration options
421 * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
422 tray messages
423 * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
424 * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
425 interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
426 compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
427 * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
428 messages to reduce latency in showing these
429 (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
430 * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
431 * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
432 configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
433 * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
434 backwards compatible with old versions
435 * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
436 and over-the-DS)
437 * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
438 selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
439 * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
440 dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
441 the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
442 ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
443 configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
444 signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
445 scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
446 (this is currently only available with nl80211)
447 * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
448 * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
449 linguist and add German translation
450 * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
451 * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
452 enabled networks

JM
4542010-01-16 - v0.7.1
455 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
456 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
457 will need modifications
458 * cleaned up various module interfaces
459 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
460 single document
461 * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
462 avoid issues when roaming between APs
463 * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
464 (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
465 * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
466 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
467 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
468 * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
469 receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
470 * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
471 wrapper
472 * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
473 over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
474 * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
475 the dialog is kept open
476 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
477 * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
478 unnecessary scans and to speed up association
479
224f7bda 4802009-11-21 - v0.7.0
1cc84c1c
JM
481 * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
482 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
42f1ee7d
JM
483 * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
484 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
362f781e
JM
485 * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
486 (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
487 interface will be used
6a1063e0
JM
488 * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
489 scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
490 SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
491 with nl80211
f4c617ee
JM
492 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
493 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
c472ef75
JM
494 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
495 fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
4cb0dcd9
JM
496 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
497 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
c2a04078
JM
498 * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
499 and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
500 nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
501 to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
c0a61908
JM
502 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
503 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
504 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
56360b16
JM
505 * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
506 * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
507 block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
508 (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
509 into wpa_supplicant
510 * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
511 (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
512 * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
513 and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
514 and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
515 wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
516 (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
517 wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
518 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
519 nl80211/mac80211 functionality
520 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
521 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
522 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
523 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
524 * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
525 address frames
526 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
527 * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
528 (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
529 up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
530 subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
531 supported only with -Dnl80211)
532 * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
533 association event and the following EAPOL-Key
534 * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
535 network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
536 an ESS (same SSID)
537 * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
1cc84c1c 538
6f78f2fb 5392009-01-06 - v0.6.7
30f5c941
JM
540 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
541 (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
542 enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
543 addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
544 configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
545 into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
546 wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
547 file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
548 manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
a9d1364c 549 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
e33bbd8f 550 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
f4f2774a
JM
551 * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
552 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
c3ece504 553 * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
a2b3a34b 554 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
c674a55d
JM
555 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
556 DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
557 will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
558 servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
cae93bdc 559 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
a9d1364c 560
6e89cc43 5612008-11-23 - v0.6.6
81eec387
JM
562 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
563 (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
564 enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
565 and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
581a8cde
JM
566 * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
567 used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
568 against TKIP deficiencies
46690a3b
JM
569 * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
570 TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
571 between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
572 CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
fa71a1d8
JM
573 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
574 not bytes
0cf03892
JM
575 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
576 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
577 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
578 needed with that version anymore)
cd35db9f
JM
579 * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
580 mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
581 with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
e519314e
JW
582 * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
583 consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
1ac2d4a9
JM
584 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
585 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
586 about
2a24bb31 587
988ab690 5882008-11-01 - v0.6.5
1d8ce433
JM
589 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
590 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
5d22a1d5 591 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
56586197
JM
592 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
593 (IEEE 802.11w)
c6845259
JM
594 * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
595 use correct FTIE
8de59496
JM
596 * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
597 method with wpa_gui-qt4
1d8ce433 598
d48ae45b 5992008-08-10 - v0.6.4
7914585f 600 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
4f1c5617 601 * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
b5a357b4 602 * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
e7d80033 603 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
fe2b7dda
JM
604 * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
605 allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
1b52ea47 606 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
d952d16d
JM
607 * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
608 internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
609 encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
b95394c6
JM
610 * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
611 LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
612 calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
3e2ad1b9
JM
613 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
614 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
3ff77e07 615 * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
7914585f 616
6fc6879b
JM
6172008-02-22 - v0.6.3
618 * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
619 previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
620 EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
621 replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
622 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
623 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
624 replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
625 present random binary data)
626 * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
627 if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
628 external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
629 when an interface is added
630 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
631 * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
632 indicating when new scan results become available
633 * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
634 fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
635 can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
636 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
637 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
638 * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
639 WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
640 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
641
6422008-01-01 - v0.6.2
643 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
644 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
645 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
646 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
647 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
648 this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
649 changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
650 versions
651 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
652 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
653 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
654 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
655 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
656 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
657 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
658 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
659 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
660 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
661 loop where the driver did not even try to associate
662 * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
663 power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
664 [Bug 237]
665 * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
666 wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
667 non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
668 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
669 in .config
670 * changed scan results data structure to include all information
671 elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
672 driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
673 are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
674 start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
675 work with new features
676 * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
677 application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
678 binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
679 QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
680 * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
681 available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
682 http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
683 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
684 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
685
6862007-11-24 - v0.6.1
687 * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
688 (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
689 * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
690 full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
691 PAC-Opaque)
692 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
693 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
694 * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
695 internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
696 WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
697 * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
698 .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
699 driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
700 * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
701 driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
702 [Bug 232]
703 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
704 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
705 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
706 buffer read overflow
707 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
708 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
709 be lost
710 * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
711 recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
712
7132007-05-28 - v0.6.0
714 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
715 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
716 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
717 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
718 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
719 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
720 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
721 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
722 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
723 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
724 different)
725 * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
726 of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
727 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
728 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
729 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
730 for PAC provisioning)
731 * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
732 * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
733 store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
734 * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
735 (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
736 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
737 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
738 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
739 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
740 added support for EAP-FAST
741 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
742 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
743 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
744 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
745 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
746 (still experimental)
747 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
748 if TLS library initialization fails
749 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
750 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
751 needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
752 IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
753
7542006-11-24 - v0.5.6
755 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
756 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
757 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
758 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
759 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
760 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
761 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
762 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
763 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
764 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
765 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
766 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
767 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
768 frame protection)
769 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
770 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
771 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
772 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
773 immediately without sending a command
774 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
775 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
776 use PIN)
777 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
778 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
779 partial AID
780 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
781 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
782 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
783 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
784 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
785 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
786 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
787 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
788 parameter is not exposed
789
7902006-08-27 - v0.5.5
791 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
792 (wide-char functions)
793 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
794 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
795 keys
796 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
797 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
798 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
799 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
800 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
801 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
802 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
803 when determining whether there are pending messages
804 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
805 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
806 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
807 localhost was used)
808 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
809 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
810 future versions)
811 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
812 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
813 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
814 case when group is not changed
815 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
816 Windows version
817 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
818 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
819 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
820 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
821 used even if the source address does not match with it
822 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
823 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
824 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
825 addresses from being accepted as local control requests
826 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
827 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
828 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
829 implementation
830 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
831 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
832 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
833 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
834 USB) [Bug 113]
835 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
836 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
837 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
838 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
839 registry (ctrl_interface string value in
840 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
841 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
842 to be enabled)
843 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
844 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
845
8462006-06-20 - v0.5.4
847 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
848 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
849 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
850 stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
851 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
852 configure the maximum EAP fragment size
853 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
854 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
855 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
856 is terminated
857 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
858 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
859 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
860 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
861 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
862 included)
863 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
864 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
865 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
866 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
867 a raw PSK (hex string)
868 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
869 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
870 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
871 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
872 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
873 automatically for the network and that can be used with
874 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
875 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
876 status changes or when associating with a different network
877 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
878 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
879 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
880 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
881 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
882 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
883 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
884 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
885 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
886 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
887 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
888 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
889 handle
890 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
891 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
892 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
893 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
894 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
895 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
896 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
897 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
898 only one application to open the device
899 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
900 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
901 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
902 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
903 when specifying the interface
904 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
905 and re-inserted [Bug 159]
906 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
907 big endian hosts [Bug 146]
908
9092006-04-27 - v0.5.3
910 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
911 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
912 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
913 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
914 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
915 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
916 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
917 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
918 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
919 in Windows registry
920 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
921 Windows registry
922 * added support for controlling network device operational state
923 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
924 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
925 that can use this information)
926 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
927 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
928 [Bug 140]
929 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
930 primitive
931 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
932 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
933 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
934 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
935 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
936 on how to use this)
937
9382006-03-19 - v0.5.2
939 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
940 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
941 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
942 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
943 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
944 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
945 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
946 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
947 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
948 interface (-bbr0 on command line)
949 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
950 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
951 instead of a static list generated at build time
952 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
953 removing PMKSA entries
954 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
955 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
956 WPA/RSN IE
957 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
958 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
959
9602006-01-29 - v0.5.1
961 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
962 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
963 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
964 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
965 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
966 option can be changed if needed
967 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
968 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
969 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
970 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
971 recommended)
972 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
973 to disable TLS library for normal authentication
974 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
975 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
976 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
977 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
978 not likely to happen in real use.
979 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
980 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
981 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
982 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
983 ap_scan=2)
984
9852005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
986 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
987 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
988 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
989 and stakey=1)
990 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
991 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
992 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
993 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
994 other C libraries and compilers
995 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
996 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
997 code more portable
998 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
999 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
1000 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
1001 example makefile for nmake
1002 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
1003 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
1004 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
1005 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
1006 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
1007 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
1008 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
1009 unregister a service
1010 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
1011 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
1012 * added better support for multiple control interface backends
1013 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
1014 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
1015 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
1016 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
1017 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
1018 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
1019 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
1020 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
1021 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
1022 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
1023 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
1024 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
1025 winpcap, freebsd, none)
1026 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
1027 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
1028 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
1029 3 ms
1030 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
1031 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
1032 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
1033 configuration blob
1034 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
1035 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
1036 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
1037 session resumption
1038 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
1039 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
1040 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
1041 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
1042 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
1043 easily on cross-compilation builds
1044 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
1045 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
1046 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
1047 Windows service
1048 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
1049 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
1050 release since it is not needed anymore
1051 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
1052 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
1053
10542005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
1055 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
1056 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
1057 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
1058 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
1059 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
1060 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
1061 during handshake
1062 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
1063 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
1064 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
1065 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
1066 would get
1067 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
1068 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
1069 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
1070 cannot be parsed successfully
1071 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
1072 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
1073 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
1074 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
1075 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
1076 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
1077 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
1078 drivers that may take more than five second to associate
1079
10802005-10-27 - v0.4.6
1081 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
1082 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
1083 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
1084 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
1085 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
1086 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
1087 private_key
1088 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
1089 state machine interface in v0.4.5)
1090 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
1091 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
1092 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
1093 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
1094 system-wide trusted CA list
1095 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
1096 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
1097 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
1098 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
1099 configuration to override the values from the configuration)
1100 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
1101 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
1102 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
1103 wpa_supplicant process
1104 * wpa_gui:
1105 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
1106 - added WEP key configuration
1107 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
1108 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
1109 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
1110 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
1111 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
1112 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
1113 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
1114 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
1115 EAP authentication immediately after association
1116
11172005-09-25 - v0.4.5
1118 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
1119 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
1120 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
1121 generate, e.g., man pages
1122 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
1123 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
1124 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
1125 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
1126 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
1127 frame
1128 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
1129 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
1130 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
1131 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
1132 Ethernet
1133 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
1134 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
1135 server_nai configuration option from network blocks
1136 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
1137 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
1138 these multicast addresses by default
1139 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
1140 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
1141 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
1142 in wpa_supplicant.conf)
1143 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
1144 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
1145 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
1146 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
1147 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
1148 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
1149
11502005-08-21 - v0.4.4
1151 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
1152 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
1153 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
1154 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
1155 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
1156 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
1157 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
1158 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
1159 this with private_key)
1160 * ported wpa_gui to Windows
1161 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
1162 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
1163 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
1164 with drivers that do not support WPA
1165 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
1166 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
1167 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
1168 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
1169 * added support for adding and removing network from the current
1170 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
1171 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
1172 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
1173 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
1174 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
1175 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
1176 the control interface, for example:
1177 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
1178 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
1179 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
1180 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
1181 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1182 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1183 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
1184 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
1185 doing this for PEAPv0, too)
1186 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
1187 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
1188 open network configuration)
1189
11902005-06-26 - v0.4.3
1191 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
1192 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
1193 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
1194 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
1195 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
1196 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
1197 (l2_packet_*.c)
1198
11992005-06-12 - v0.4.2
1200 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
1201 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
1202 this)
1203 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
1204 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
1205 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
1206 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
1207 and the network block order in the file is used instead
1208 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
1209 freed memory if pre-authentication times out
1210 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
1211 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
1212 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
1213 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
1214 NDIS drivers
1215 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
1216 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
1217 configuration file
1218 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
1219 processing
1220 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
1221 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
1222 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
1223 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
1224 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
1225 the key in this case
1226 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
1227 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
1228 driver_ops function set_param()
1229 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
1230 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
1231 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
1232 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
1233 entered as a number, not group name
1234 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
1235 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
1236 cards
1237
12382005-05-22 - v0.4.1
1239 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
1240 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
1241 ioctl order in v0.4.0
1242 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
1243 branch of madwifi CVS tree
1244 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
1245 authentication session
1246 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
1247 password has expired)
1248 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
1249 and adding them to the certificate chain
1250 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
1251 were used
1252 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
1253 identity or password is entered through control interface
1254 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
1255 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
1256 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
1257 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
1258 Qt development tools)
1259 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
1260 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
1261 'reassociate' command has been used
1262 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
1263 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
1264 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
1265 * added support for getting scan results through control interface
1266 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
1267 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1268 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1269
12702005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
1271 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
1272 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
1273 debugging code is not needed
1274 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
1275 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
1276 overflow
1277 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
1278 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
1279 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
1280 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
1281 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
1282 but they may be removed in the future)
1283 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
1284 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
1285 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
1286 interoperate with some authentication servers
1287 * added support for sending TLS alerts
1288 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
1289 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
1290 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
1291 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
1292 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
1293 delayed until the PIN is available
1294 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
1295 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
1296 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
1297 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
1298 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
1299 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
1300 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
1301 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
1302 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
1303 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
1304 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
1305 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
1306 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
1307 events
1308 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
1309 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
1310 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
1311 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
1312 using assoc_info events
1313 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
1314 process id into a file
1315
13162005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
1317 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
1318 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
1319 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
1320 authentication servers
1321 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
1322 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
1323 ap_scan=2)
1324 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
1325 identity/password/otp
1326 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
1327 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
1328 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
1329 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
1330 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
1331 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
1332 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
1333
13342005-01-24 - v0.3.6
1335 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
1336 when no matching AP is found
1337
13382005-01-23 - v0.3.5
1339 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
1340 when using WPA2-PSK
1341 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
1342 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
1343 retransmission of dropped frames)
1344 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
1345 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
1346 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
1347 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
1348 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
1349 requires EAP workarounds
1350 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
1351 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
1352 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
1353 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
1354 authentication attempt
1355 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
1356 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
1357 verified)
1358
13592005-01-09 - v0.3.4
1360 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
1361 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
1362 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
1363 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
1364 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
1365 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
1366 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
1367 supports WPA-None)
1368 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
1369 mingw
1370
13712005-01-02 - v0.3.3
1372 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
1373 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
1374 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
1375 small problems with error case processing not terminating on
1376 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
1377 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
1378 Cisco AP when using WPA2
1379 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
1380 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
1381 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
1382 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
1383 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
1384
13852004-12-19 - v0.3.2
1386 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
1387 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
1388 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
1389 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
1390 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
1391 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
1392 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
1393 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
1394 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
1395 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
1396 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
1397 running)
1398 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
1399 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
1400 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
1401 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
1402 the interface name
1403 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
1404 file
1405 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
1406 when exiting
1407 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
1408 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
1409 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
1410 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
1411 information
1412 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
1413 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
1414 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
1415 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
1416 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
1417 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
1418 authentication
1419 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
1420 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
1421 unicast key)
1422 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
1423 drivers
1424 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
1425 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
1426
14272004-12-12 - v0.3.1
1428 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
1429 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
1430 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
1431 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
1432 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
1433 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
1434 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
1435 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
1436 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
1437 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
1438 group, proto variables
1439 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
1440 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
1441 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
1442 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
1443 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
1444 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
1445 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
1446 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
1447 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
1448 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
1449 the association
1450
14512004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
1452 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
1453 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
1454 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
1455 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
1456 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
1457 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
1458 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
1459 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
1460 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
1461 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
1462 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
1463 reply
1464 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
1465 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
1466 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
1467 label which is thus more suitable default option
1468 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
1469 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
1470 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
1471 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
1472 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
1473 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
1474 WEP keys)
1475 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
1476 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
1477 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
1478 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
1479 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
1480 session resumption)
1481 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
1482 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
1483 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
1484 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
1485 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
1486 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
1487 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
1488 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
1489 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
1490 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
1491 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
1492 drivers expect this
1493 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
1494 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
1495 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
1496 * added support for LEAP with WPA
1497 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
1498 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
1499 v17 or newer
1500 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
1501 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
1502 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
1503 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
1504 forever
1505 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
1506 default; all key information can be included with -K command line
1507 argument to match the previous behavior
1508 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
1509 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
1510 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
1511 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
1512 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
1513 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
1514 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
1515 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
1516 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
1517 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
1518 association
1519 * changed driver interface API:
1520 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
1521 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
1522 not defined)
1523 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
1524 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
1525 interfaces has been converted to the new API
1526 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
1527 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
1528 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
1529 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
1530 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
1531 sequential EAP packets
1532 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
1533 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
1534 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
1535 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
1536 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
1537 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
1538 configuration
1539 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
1540 IEs than just one WPA IE
1541 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
1542 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
1543 required kernel mods have not yet been committed
1544 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
1545 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
1546
15472004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
1548 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
1549 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
1550 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
1551 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
1552 for the broadcast key
1553 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
1554 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
1555 WPA
1556 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
1557 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
1558 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
1559 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
1560 Linux wireless extensions get support for this
1561 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
1562 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
1563 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
1564 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
1565 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
1566 supporting wireless extensions.
1567 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
1568 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
1569 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1570 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
1571 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
1572 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
1573 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
1574 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
1575 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
1576 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
1577 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
1578 started again
1579 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
1580 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
1581 information so that full authentication does not need to be
1582 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
1583 frontend is attached
1584 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
1585 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
1586 and to provide access control for the control interface;
1587 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
1588 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
1589 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
1590 the control interface;
1591 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
1592 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
1593 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
1594 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
1595 * added support for LEAP
1596 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
1597 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
1598 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
1599 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
1600
16012004-06-20 - v0.2.3
1602 * sort scan results to improve AP selection
1603 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
1604 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
1605 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
1606 TLS processing
1607 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
1608 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
1609 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
1610 automatically)
1611 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
1612 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
1613 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
1614 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
1615 from the station)
1616 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
1617 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
1618 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
1619 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
1620 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
1621 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
1622 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
1623 (key_mgmt=NONE)
1624
16252004-05-31 - v0.2.2
1626 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1627 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
1628 EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
1629 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
1630 EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
1631 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
1632 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
1633 EAP-TTLS/PAP
1634 EAP-TTLS/CHAP
1635 EAP-PEAP/TLS
1636 EAP-PEAP/GTC
1637 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
1638 EAP-GTC
1639 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
1640 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
1641 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
1642 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
1643 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
1644 * added support for requesting identity and password information using
1645 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
1646 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
1647 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
1648 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
1649 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
1650 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
1651 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
1652 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
1653 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
1654 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
1655 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
1656 anyway for TLS)
1657 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
1658 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
1659
16602004-05-06 - v0.2.1
1661 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
1662 Supplicant
1663 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
1664 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
1665 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
1666 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]

1670 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
1671 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
1672 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
1673 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
1674 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
1675 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
1676 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
1677 option
1678 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
1679 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
1680 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
1681 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
1682 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
1683 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
1684 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
1685 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
1686 - improved PTK Key Handshake
1687 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
1688 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
1689 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
1690 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
1691 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
1692 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
1693 wpa_supplicant
1694 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
1695 mode
1696 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
1697 * made some feature compile time configurable
1698 - .config file for make
1699 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
1700 - EAPOL/EAP functions
1701
17022004-02-15 - v0.2.0
1703 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
