669 * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
670 * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
671 This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and

727 used to clear the bssid_set flag in a network block, i.e., to remove
728 bssid filtering.
729 - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
730 changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
731 enabled as well.
732 - For interworking, add wpa_cli commands interworking_select,
733 interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp, and stop_fetch_anqp.

754 be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P)
755 operation.
756 - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding
757 them.
758 - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.

776 be compatible with Windows 7.
777 - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
778 user on how to resolve the issue.
779 - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled

781 methods are advertised.
782 - When controlling multiple interfaces:
783 - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
784 - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
785 - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
786 all interfaces
787 * WPS ER:

803 * TDLS:
804 - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and
805 add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
806 capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
807 explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
808 - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
809 Use set tdls_disabled.
810 - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.

JM
8422010-04-18 - v0.7.2
843 * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
844 * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
845 strength are present in scan results
846 * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
847 automatic detection of EAP parameters
848 * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
849 certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
850 * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
851 configuration options
852 * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
853 tray messages
854 * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
855 * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
856 interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
857 compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
858 * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
859 messages to reduce latency in showing these
860 (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)

862 * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
863 configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
864 * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
865 backwards compatible with old versions
866 * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
867 and over-the-DS)
868 * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
869 selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
870 * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
871 dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
872 the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
873 ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
874 configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
875 signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
876 scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
877 (this is currently only available with nl80211)
878 * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
879 * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
880 linguist and add German translation
881 * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
882 * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
883 enabled networks
884

888 will need modifications
889 * cleaned up various module interfaces
890 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
891 single document
892 * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
893 avoid issues when roaming between APs

897 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
898 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
899 * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
900 receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
901 * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
902 wrapper
903 * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
904 over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
905 * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
906 the dialog is kept open
907 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
908 * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
909 unnecessary scans and to speed up association

912 * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
913 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
42f1ee7d
JM
914 * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
915 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
362f781e
JM
916 * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
917 (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
918 interface will be used
6a1063e0
JM
919 * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
920 scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
921 SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
922 with nl80211
f4c617ee
JM
923 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
924 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
c472ef75
JM
925 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
926 fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
4cb0dcd9
JM
927 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
928 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
c2a04078
JM
929 * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
930 and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
931 nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
932 to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
c0a61908
JM
933 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
934 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
935 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
56360b16
JM
936 * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
937 * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
938 block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
939 (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
940 into wpa_supplicant
941 * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
942 (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
943 * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
944 and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
945 and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
946 wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
947 (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
948 wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
949 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
950 nl80211/mac80211 functionality
951 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
952 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
953 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
954 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
955 * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
956 address frames
957 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
958 * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
959 (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
960 up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
961 subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
962 supported only with -Dnl80211)
963 * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
964 association event and the following EAPOL-Key
965 * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
966 network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
967 an ESS (same SSID)
968 * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
1cc84c1c 969
6f78f2fb 9702009-01-06 - v0.6.7
30f5c941
JM
971 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
972 (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
973 enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
974 addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
975 configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
976 into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
977 wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
978 file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
979 manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
a9d1364c 980 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
e33bbd8f 981 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
f4f2774a
JM
982 * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
983 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
c3ece504 984 * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
a2b3a34b 985 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
c674a55d
JM
986 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
987 DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
988 will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
989 servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
cae93bdc 990 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
a9d1364c 991
6e89cc43 9922008-11-23 - v0.6.6
81eec387
JM
993 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
994 (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
995 enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
996 and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
581a8cde
JM
997 * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
998 used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
999 against TKIP deficiencies
46690a3b
JM
1000 * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
1001 TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
1002 between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
1003 CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
fa71a1d8
JM
1004 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
1005 not bytes
0cf03892
JM
1006 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
1007 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
1008 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
1009 needed with that version anymore)
cd35db9f
JM
1010 * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
1011 mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
1012 with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
e519314e
JW
1013 * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
1014 consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
1ac2d4a9
JM
1015 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
1016 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
1017 about
2a24bb31 1018
988ab690 10192008-11-01 - v0.6.5
1d8ce433
JM
1020 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
1021 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
5d22a1d5 1022 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
56586197
JM
1023 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
1024 (IEEE 802.11w)
c6845259
JM
1025 * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
1026 use correct FTIE
8de59496
JM
1027 * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
1028 method with wpa_gui-qt4
1d8ce433 1029
d48ae45b 10302008-08-10 - v0.6.4
7914585f 1031 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
4f1c5617 1032 * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
b5a357b4 1033 * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
e7d80033 1034 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
fe2b7dda
JM
1035 * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
1036 allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
1b52ea47 1037 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
d952d16d
JM
1038 * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
1039 internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
1040 encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
b95394c6
JM
1041 * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
1042 LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
1043 calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
3e2ad1b9
JM
1044 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
1045 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
3ff77e07 1046 * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
7914585f 1047
6fc6879b
JM
10482008-02-22 - v0.6.3
1049 * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
1050 previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
1051 EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
1052 replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
1053 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
1054 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
1055 replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
1056 present random binary data)
1057 * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
1058 if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
1059 external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
1060 when an interface is added
1061 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
1062 * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
1063 indicating when new scan results become available
1064 * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
1065 fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
1066 can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
1067 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
1068 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
1069 * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
1070 WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
1071 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
1072
10732008-01-01 - v0.6.2
1074 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
1075 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
1076 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
1077 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
1078 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
1079 this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
1080 changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
1081 versions
1082 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
1083 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
1084 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
1085 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
1086 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
1087 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
1088 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
1089 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
1090 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
1091 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
1092 loop where the driver did not even try to associate
1093 * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
1094 power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
1095 [Bug 237]
1096 * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
1097 wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
1098 non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
1099 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
1100 in .config
1101 * changed scan results data structure to include all information
1102 elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
1103 driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
1104 are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
1105 start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
1106 work with new features
1107 * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
1108 application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
1109 binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
1110 QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
1111 * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
1112 available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
1113 http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
1114 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
1115 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
1116
11172007-11-24 - v0.6.1
1118 * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
1119 (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
1120 * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
1121 full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
1122 PAC-Opaque)
1123 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
1124 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
1125 * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
1126 internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
1127 WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
1128 * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
1129 .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
1130 driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
1131 * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
1132 driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
1133 [Bug 232]
1134 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
1135 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
1136 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
1137 buffer read overflow
1138 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
1139 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
1140 be lost
1141 * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
1142 recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
1143
11442007-05-28 - v0.6.0
1145 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
1146 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
1147 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
1148 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
1149 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
1150 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
1151 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
1152 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
1153 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
1154 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
1155 different)
1156 * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
1157 of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
1158 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
1159 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
1160 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
1161 for PAC provisioning)
1162 * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
1163 * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
1164 store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
1165 * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
1166 (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
1167 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
1168 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
1169 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
1170 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
1171 added support for EAP-FAST
1172 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
1173 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
1174 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
1175 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
1176 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
1177 (still experimental)
1178 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
1179 if TLS library initialization fails
1180 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
1181 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
1182 needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
1183 IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
1184
11852006-11-24 - v0.5.6
1186 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
1187 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
1188 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
1189 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
1190 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
1191 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
1192 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
1193 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
1194 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
1195 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
1196 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
1197 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
1198 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
1199 frame protection)
1200 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
1201 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
1202 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
1203 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
1204 immediately without sending a command
1205 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
1206 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
1207 use PIN)
1208 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
1209 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
1210 partial AID
1211 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
1212 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
1213 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
1214 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
1215 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
1216 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
1217 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
1218 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
1219 parameter is not exposed
1220
12212006-08-27 - v0.5.5
1222 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
1223 (wide-char functions)
1224 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
1225 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
1226 keys
1227 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
1228 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
1229 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
1230 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
1231 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
1232 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
1233 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
1234 when determining whether there are pending messages
1235 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
1236 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
1237 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
1238 localhost was used)
1239 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
1240 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
1241 future versions)
1242 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
1243 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
1244 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
1245 case when group is not changed
1246 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
1247 Windows version
1248 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
1249 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
1250 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
1251 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
1252 used even if the source address does not match with it
1253 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
1254 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
1255 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
1256 addresses from being accepted as local control requests
1257 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
1258 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
1259 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
1260 implementation
1261 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
1262 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
1263 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
1264 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
1265 USB) [Bug 113]
1266 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
1267 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
1268 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
1269 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
1270 registry (ctrl_interface string value in
1271 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
1272 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
1273 to be enabled)
1274 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
1275 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
1276
12772006-06-20 - v0.5.4
1278 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
1279 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
1280 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
1281 stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
1282 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
1283 configure the maximum EAP fragment size
1284 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
1285 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
1286 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
1287 is terminated
1288 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
1289 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
1290 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
1291 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
1292 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
1293 included)
1294 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
1295 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
1296 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
1297 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
1298 a raw PSK (hex string)
1299 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
1300 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
1301 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
1302 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
1303 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
1304 automatically for the network and that can be used with
1305 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
1306 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
1307 status changes or when associating with a different network
1308 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
1309 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
1310 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
1311 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
1312 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
1313 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
1314 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
1315 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
1316 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
1317 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
1318 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
1319 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
1320 handle
1321 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
1322 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
1323 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
1324 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
1325 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
1326 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
1327 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
1328 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
1329 only one application to open the device
1330 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
1331 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
1332 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
1333 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
1334 when specifying the interface
1335 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
1336 and re-inserted [Bug 159]
1337 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
1338 big endian hosts [Bug 146]
1339
13402006-04-27 - v0.5.3
1341 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
1342 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
1343 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
1344 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
1345 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
1346 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
1347 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
1348 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
1349 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
1350 in Windows registry
1351 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
1352 Windows registry
1353 * added support for controlling network device operational state
1354 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
1355 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
1356 that can use this information)
1357 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
1358 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
1359 [Bug 140]
1360 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
1361 primitive
1362 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
1363 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
1364 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
1365 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
1366 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
1367 on how to use this)
1368
13692006-03-19 - v0.5.2
1370 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
1371 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
1372 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
1373 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
1374 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
1375 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
1376 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
1377 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
1378 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
1379 interface (-bbr0 on command line)
1380 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
1381 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
1382 instead of a static list generated at build time
1383 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
1384 removing PMKSA entries
1385 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
1386 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
1387 WPA/RSN IE
1388 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
1389 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
1390
13912006-01-29 - v0.5.1
1392 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
1393 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
1394 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
1395 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
1396 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
1397 option can be changed if needed
1398 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
1399 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
1400 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
1401 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
1402 recommended)
1403 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
1404 to disable TLS library for normal authentication
1405 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
1406 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
1407 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
1408 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
1409 not likely to happen in real use.
1410 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
1411 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
1412 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
1413 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
1414 ap_scan=2)
1415
14162005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
1417 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
1418 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
1419 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
1420 and stakey=1)
1421 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
1422 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
1423 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
1424 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
1425 other C libraries and compilers
1426 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
1427 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
1428 code more portable
1429 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
1430 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
1431 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
1432 example makefile for nmake
1433 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
1434 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
1435 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
1436 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
1437 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
1438 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
1439 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
1440 unregister a service
1441 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
1442 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
1443 * added better support for multiple control interface backends
1444 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
1445 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
1446 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
1447 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
1448 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
1449 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
1450 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
1451 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
1452 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
1453 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
1454 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
1455 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
1456 winpcap, freebsd, none)
1457 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
1458 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
1459 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
1460 3 ms
1461 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
1462 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
1463 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
1464 configuration blob
1465 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
1466 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
1467 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
1468 session resumption
1469 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
1470 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
1471 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
1472 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
1473 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
1474 easily on cross-compilation builds
1475 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
1476 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
1477 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
1478 Windows service
1479 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
1480 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
1481 release since it is not needed anymore
1482 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
1483 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
1484
14852005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
1486 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
1487 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
1488 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
1489 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
1490 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
1491 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
1492 during handshake
1493 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
1494 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
1495 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
1496 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
1497 would get
1498 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
1499 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
1500 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
1501 cannot be parsed successfully
1502 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
1503 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
1504 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
1505 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
1506 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
1507 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
1508 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
1509 drivers that may take more than five second to associate
1510
15112005-10-27 - v0.4.6
1512 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
1513 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
1514 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
1515 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
1516 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
1517 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
1518 private_key
1519 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
1520 state machine interface in v0.4.5)
1521 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
1522 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
1523 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
1524 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
1525 system-wide trusted CA list
1526 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
1527 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
1528 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
1529 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
1530 configuration to override the values from the configuration)
1531 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
1532 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
1533 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
1534 wpa_supplicant process
1535 * wpa_gui:
1536 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
1537 - added WEP key configuration
1538 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
1539 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
1540 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
1541 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
1542 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
1543 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
1544 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
1545 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
1546 EAP authentication immediately after association
1547
15482005-09-25 - v0.4.5
1549 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
1550 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
1551 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
1552 generate, e.g., man pages
1553 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
1554 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
1555 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
1556 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
1557 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
1558 frame
1559 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
1560 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
1561 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
1562 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
1563 Ethernet
1564 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
1565 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
1566 server_nai configuration option from network blocks
1567 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
1568 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
1569 these multicast addresses by default
1570 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
1571 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
1572 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
1573 in wpa_supplicant.conf)
1574 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
1575 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
1576 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
1577 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
1578 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
1579 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
1580
15812005-08-21 - v0.4.4
1582 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
1583 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
1584 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
1585 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
1586 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
1587 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
1588 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
1589 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
1590 this with private_key)
1591 * ported wpa_gui to Windows
1592 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
1593 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
1594 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
1595 with drivers that do not support WPA
1596 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
1597 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
1598 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
1599 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
1600 * added support for adding and removing network from the current
1601 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
1602 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
1603 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
1604 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
1605 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
1606 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
1607 the control interface, for example:
1608 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
1609 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
1610 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
1611 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
1612 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1613 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1614 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
1615 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
1616 doing this for PEAPv0, too)
1617 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
1618 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
1619 open network configuration)
1620
16212005-06-26 - v0.4.3
1622 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
1623 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
1624 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
1625 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
1626 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
1627 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
1628 (l2_packet_*.c)
1629
16302005-06-12 - v0.4.2
1631 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
1632 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
1633 this)
1634 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
1635 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
1636 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
1637 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
1638 and the network block order in the file is used instead
1639 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
1640 freed memory if pre-authentication times out
1641 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
1642 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
1643 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
1644 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
1645 NDIS drivers
1646 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
1647 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
1648 configuration file
1649 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
1650 processing
1651 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
1652 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
1653 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
1654 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
1655 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
1656 the key in this case
1657 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
1658 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
1659 driver_ops function set_param()
1660 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
1661 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
1662 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
1663 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
1664 entered as a number, not group name
1665 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
1666 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
1667 cards
1668
16692005-05-22 - v0.4.1
1670 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
1671 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
1672 ioctl order in v0.4.0
1673 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
1674 branch of madwifi CVS tree
1675 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
1676 authentication session
1677 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
1678 password has expired)
1679 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
1680 and adding them to the certificate chain
1681 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
1682 were used
1683 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
1684 identity or password is entered through control interface
1685 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
1686 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
1687 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
1688 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
1689 Qt development tools)
1690 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
1691 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
1692 'reassociate' command has been used
1693 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
1694 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
1695 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
1696 * added support for getting scan results through control interface
1697 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
1698 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1699 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1700
17012005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
1702 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
1703 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
1704 debugging code is not needed
1705 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
1706 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
1707 overflow
1708 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
1709 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
1710 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
1711 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
1712 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
1713 but they may be removed in the future)
1714 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
1715 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
1716 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
1717 interoperate with some authentication servers
1718 * added support for sending TLS alerts
1719 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
1720 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
1721 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
1722 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
1723 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
1724 delayed until the PIN is available
1725 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
1726 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
1727 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
1728 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
1729 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
1730 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
1731 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
1732 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
1733 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
1734 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
1735 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
1736 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
1737 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
1738 events
1739 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
1740 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
1741 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
1742 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
1743 using assoc_info events
1744 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
1745 process id into a file
1746
17472005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
1748 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
1749 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
1750 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
1751 authentication servers
1752 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
1753 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
1754 ap_scan=2)
1755 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
1756 identity/password/otp
1757 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
1758 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
1759 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
1760 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
1761 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
1762 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
1763 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
1764
17652005-01-24 - v0.3.6
1766 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
1767 when no matching AP is found
1768
17692005-01-23 - v0.3.5
1770 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
1771 when using WPA2-PSK
1772 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
1773 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
1774 retransmission of dropped frames)
1775 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
1776 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
1777 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
1778 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
1779 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
1780 requires EAP workarounds
1781 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
1782 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
1783 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
1784 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
1785 authentication attempt
1786 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
1787 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
1788 verified)
1789
17902005-01-09 - v0.3.4
1791 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
1792 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
1793 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
1794 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
1795 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
1796 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
1797 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
1798 supports WPA-None)
1799 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
1800 mingw
1801
18022005-01-02 - v0.3.3
1803 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
1804 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
1805 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
1806 small problems with error case processing not terminating on
1807 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
1808 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
1809 Cisco AP when using WPA2
1810 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
1811 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
1812 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
1813 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
1814 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
1815
18162004-12-19 - v0.3.2
1817 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
1818 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
1819 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
1820 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
1821 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
1822 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
1823 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
1824 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
1825 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
1826 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
1827 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
1828 running)
1829 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
1830 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
1831 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
1832 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
1833 the interface name
1834 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
1835 file
1836 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
1837 when exiting
1838 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
1839 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
1840 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
1841 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
1842 information
1843 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
1844 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
1845 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
1846 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
1847 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
1848 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
1849 authentication
1850 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
1851 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
1852 unicast key)
1853 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
1854 drivers
1855 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
1856 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
1857
18582004-12-12 - v0.3.1
1859 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
1860 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
1861 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
1862 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
1863 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
1864 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
1865 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
1866 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
1867 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
1868 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
1869 group, proto variables
1870 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
1871 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
1872 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
1873 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
1874 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
1875 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
1876 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
1877 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
1878 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
1879 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
1880 the association
1881
18822004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
1883 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
1884 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
1885 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
1886 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
1887 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
1888 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
1889 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
1890 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
1891 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
1892 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
1893 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
1894 reply
1895 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
1896 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
1897 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
1898 label which is thus more suitable default option
1899 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
1900 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
1901 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
1902 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
1903 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
1904 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
1905 WEP keys)
1906 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
1907 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
1908 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
1909 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
1910 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
1911 session resumption)
1912 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
1913 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
1914 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
1915 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
1916 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
1917 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
1918 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
1919 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
1920 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
1921 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
1922 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
1923 drivers expect this
1924 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
1925 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
1926 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
1927 * added support for LEAP with WPA
1928 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
1929 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
1930 v17 or newer
1931 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
1932 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
1933 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
1934 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
1935 forever
1936 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
1937 default; all key information can be included with -K command line
1938 argument to match the previous behavior
1939 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
1940 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
1941 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
1942 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
1943 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
1944 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
1945 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
1946 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
1947 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
1948 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
1949 association
1950 * changed driver interface API:
1951 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
1952 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
1953 not defined)
1954 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
1955 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
1956 interfaces has been converted to the new API
1957 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
1958 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
1959 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
1960 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
1961 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
1962 sequential EAP packets
1963 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
1964 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
1965 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
1966 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
1967 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
1968 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
1969 configuration
1970 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
1971 IEs than just one WPA IE
1972 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
1973 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
1974 required kernel mods have not yet been committed
1975 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
1976 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
1977
19782004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
1979 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
1980 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
1981 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
1982 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
1983 for the broadcast key
1984 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
1985 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
1986 WPA
1987 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
1988 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
1989 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
1990 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
1991 Linux wireless extensions get support for this
1992 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
1993 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
1994 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
1995 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
1996 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
1997 supporting wireless extensions.
1998 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
1999 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
2000 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
2001 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
2002 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
2003 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
2004 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
2005 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
2006 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
2007 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
2008 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
2009 started again
2010 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
2011 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
2012 information so that full authentication does not need to be
2013 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
2014 frontend is attached
2015 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
2016 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
2017 and to provide access control for the control interface;
2018 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
2019 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
2020 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
2021 the control interface;
2022 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
2023 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
2024 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
2025 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
2026 * added support for LEAP
2027 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
2028 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
2029 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
2030 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
2031
20322004-06-20 - v0.2.3
2033 * sort scan results to improve AP selection
2034 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
2035 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
2036 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
2037 TLS processing
2038 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
2039 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
2040 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
2041 automatically)
2042 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
2043 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
2044 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
2045 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
2046 from the station)
2047 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
2048 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
2049 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
2050 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
2051 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
2052 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
2053 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
2054 (key_mgmt=NONE)
2055
20562004-05-31 - v0.2.2
2057 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
2058 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
2059 EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
2060 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
2061 EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
2062 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
2063 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
2064 EAP-TTLS/PAP
2065 EAP-TTLS/CHAP
2066 EAP-PEAP/TLS
2067 EAP-PEAP/GTC
2068 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
2069 EAP-GTC
2070 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
2071 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
2072 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
2073 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
2074 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
2075 * added support for requesting identity and password information using
2076 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
2077 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
2078 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
2079 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
2080 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
2081 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
2082 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
2083 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
2084 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
2085 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
2086 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
2087 anyway for TLS)
2088 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
2089 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
2090
20912004-05-06 - v0.2.1
2092 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
2093 Supplicant
2094 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
2095 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
2096 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
2097 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
2098 - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
2099 - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
2100 - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
2101 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
2102 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
2103 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
2104 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
2105 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
2106 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
2107 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
2108 option
2109 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
2110 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
2111 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
2112 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
2113 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
2114 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
2115 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
2116 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
2117 - improved PTK Key Handshake
2118 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
2119 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
2120 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
2121 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
2122 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
2123 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
2124 wpa_supplicant
2125 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
2126 mode
2127 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
2128 * made some feature compile time configurable
2129 - .config file for make
2130 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
2131 - EAPOL/EAP functions
2132
21332004-02-15 - v0.2.0
2134 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
