1 ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
2
3 2012-05-10 - v1.0
4 * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
5 * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
6 This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
7 Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
8 available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
9 Disassoc frames (nl80211).
10 * Drop oldest unknown BSS table entries first. This makes it less
11 likely to hit connection issues in environments with huge number
12 of visible APs.
13 * Add systemd support.
14 * Add support for setting the syslog facility from the config file
15 at build time.
16 * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
17 * AP mode: Allow enable HT20 if driver supports it, by setting the
18 config parameter ieee80211n.
19 * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
20 the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
21 going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
22 config option disassoc_low_ack.
23 * nl80211:
24 - Support GTK rekey offload.
25 - Support PMKSA candidate events. This adds support for RSN
26 pre-authentication with nl80211 interface and drivers that handle
27 roaming internally.
28 * dbus:
29 - Add a DBus signal for EAP SM requests, emitted on the Interface
30 object.
31 - Export max scan ssids supported by the driver as MaxScanSSID.
32 - Add signal Certification for information about server certification.
33 - Add BSSExpireAge and BSSExpireCount interface properties and
34 support set/get, which allows for setting BSS cache expiration age
35 and expiration scan count.
36 - Add ConfigFile to AddInterface properties.
37 - Add Interface.Country property and support to get/set the value.
38 - Add DBus property CurrentAuthMode.
39 - P2P DBus API added.
40 - Emit property changed events (for property BSSs) when adding/
41 removing BSSs.
42 - Treat '' in SSIDs of Interface.Scan as a request for broadcast
43 scan, instead of ignoring it.
44 - Add DBus getter/setter for FastReauth.
45 - Raise PropertiesChanged on org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.
46 * wpa_cli:
47 - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
48 due to inactivity.
49 - Make second argument to set command optional. This can be used to
50 indicate a zero length value.
51 - Add signal_poll command.
52 - Add bss_expire_age and bss_expire_count commands to set/get BSS
53 cache expiration age and expiration scan count.
54 - Add ability to set scan interval (the time in seconds wpa_s waits
55 before requesting a new scan after failing to find a suitable
56 network in scan results) using scan_interval command.
57 - Add event CTRL-EVENT-ASSOC-REJECT for association rejected.
58 - Add command get version, that returns wpa_supplicant version string.
59 - Add command sta_autoconnect for disabling automatic reconnection
60 on receiving disconnection event.
61 - Setting bssid parameter to an empty string "" or any can now be
62 used to clear the bssid_set flag in a network block, i.e., to remove
63 bssid filtering.
64 - Add tdls_testing command to add a special testing feature for
65 changing TDLS behavior. Build param CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING must be
66 enabled as well.
67 - For interworking, add wpa_cli commands interworking_select,
68 interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp, and stop_fetch_anqp.
69 - Many P2P commands were added. See README-P2P.
70 - Many WPS/WPS ER commands - see WPS/WPS ER sections for details.
71 - Allow set command to change global config parameters.
72 - Add log_level command, which can be used to display the current
73 debugging level and to change the log level during run time.
74 - Add note command, which can be used to insert notes to the debug
75 log.
76 - Add internal line edit implementation. CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y
77 can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal implementation of
78 line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement
79 for CONFIG_READLINE=y.
80 * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit
81 the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP.
82 * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad
83 config file.
84 * wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds.
85 * Add blacklist command, allowing an external program to
86 manage the BSS blacklist and display its current contents.
87 * WPS:
88 - Add wpa_cli wps_pin get command for generating random PINs. This can
89 be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P)
90 operation.
91 - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding
92 them.
93 - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors.
94 - Add CONFIG_WPS_REG_DISABLE_OPEN=y option to disable open networks
95 by default.
96 - Add wps_ap_pin cli command for wpa_supplicant AP mode.
97 - Add wps_check_pin cli command for processing PIN from user input.
98 UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to
99 validate the checksum digit (if present).
100 - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection.
101 - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS
102 operation.
103 - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers.
104 - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model
105 Number, and Serial Number changes.
106 - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer. Use
107 wpa_cli set wps_fragment_size <val>.
108 - Disable AP PIN after 10 consecutive failures. Slow down attacks on
109 failures up to 10.
110 - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to
111 be compatible with Windows 7.
112 - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the
113 user on how to resolve the issue.
114 - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled
115 at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both
116 methods are advertised.
117 - When controlling multiple interfaces:
118 - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS
119 - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS
120 - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on
121 all interfaces
122 * WPS ER:
123 - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER.
124 ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where
125 WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them.
126 - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events
127 - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local
128 network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the
129 current AP settings with wps_er_learn.
130 - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for
131 learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP.
132 * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2)
133 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool
134 for testing protocol extensibility.
135 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS
136 workarounds.
137 - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute.
138 * TDLS:
139 - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and
140 add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support
141 capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is
142 explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations.
143 - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing).
144 Use set tdls_disabled.
145 - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS.
146 - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use
147 CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime
148 with tdls_testing cli command.
149 - Add support for TDLS 802.11z.
150 * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing.
151 wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface
152 for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis.
153 * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with
154 CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters
155 for interworking. wpa_cli commands added to support this are
156 interworking_select, interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp,
157 and stop_fetch_anqp.
158 * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant.
159 * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on
160 previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate
161 the list of channels for background scans.
162 * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use
163 -ddd to enable.
164 * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode.
165 * Internal TLS:
166 - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
167 CONFIG_TLSV11.
168 - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names.
169 * Linux: Add RFKill support by adding an interface state "disabled".
170 * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
171 WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
172 Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.
173 * Solaris: Add support for wired 802.1X client.
174 * Wi-Fi Direct support. See README-P2P for more information.
175 * Many bugfixes.
176
177 2010-04-18 - v0.7.2
178 * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
179 * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
180 strength are present in scan results
181 * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
182 automatic detection of EAP parameters
183 * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
184 certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
185 * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
186 configuration options
187 * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
188 tray messages
189 * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
190 * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
191 interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
192 compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
193 * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
194 messages to reduce latency in showing these
195 (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
196 * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
197 * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
198 configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
199 * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
200 backwards compatible with old versions
201 * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
202 and over-the-DS)
203 * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
204 selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
205 * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
206 dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
207 the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
208 ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
209 configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
210 signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
211 scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
212 (this is currently only available with nl80211)
213 * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
214 * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
215 linguist and add German translation
216 * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
217 * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
218 enabled networks
219
220 2010-01-16 - v0.7.1
221 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
222 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
223 will need modifications
224 * cleaned up various module interfaces
225 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
226 single document
227 * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
228 avoid issues when roaming between APs
229 * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
230 (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
231 * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
232 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
233 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
234 * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
235 receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
236 * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
237 wrapper
238 * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
239 over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
240 * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
241 the dialog is kept open
242 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
243 * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
244 unnecessary scans and to speed up association
245
246 2009-11-21 - v0.7.0
247 * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
248 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
249 * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
250 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
251 * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
252 (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
253 interface will be used
254 * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
255 scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
256 SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
257 with nl80211
258 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
259 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
260 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
261 fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
262 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
263 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
264 * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
265 and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
266 nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
267 to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
268 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
269 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
270 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
271 * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
272 * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
273 block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
274 (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
275 into wpa_supplicant
276 * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
277 (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
278 * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
279 and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
280 and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
281 wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
282 (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
283 wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
284 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
285 nl80211/mac80211 functionality
286 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
287 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
288 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
289 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
290 * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
291 address frames
292 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
293 * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
294 (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
295 up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
296 subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
297 supported only with -Dnl80211)
298 * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
299 association event and the following EAPOL-Key
300 * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
301 network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
302 an ESS (same SSID)
303 * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
304
305 2009-01-06 - v0.6.7
306 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
307 (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
308 enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
309 addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
310 configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
311 into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
312 wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
313 file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
314 manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
315 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
316 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
317 * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
318 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
319 * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
320 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
321 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
322 DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
323 will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
324 servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
325 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
326
327 2008-11-23 - v0.6.6
328 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
329 (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
330 enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
331 and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
332 * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
333 used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
334 against TKIP deficiencies
335 * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
336 TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
337 between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
338 CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
339 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
340 not bytes
341 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
342 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
343 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
344 needed with that version anymore)
345 * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
346 mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
347 with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
348 * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
349 consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
350 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
351 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
352 about
353
354 2008-11-01 - v0.6.5
355 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
356 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
357 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
358 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
359 (IEEE 802.11w)
360 * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
361 use correct FTIE
362 * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
363 method with wpa_gui-qt4
364
365 2008-08-10 - v0.6.4
366 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
367 * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
368 * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
369 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
370 * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
371 allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
372 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
373 * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
374 internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
375 encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
376 * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
377 LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
378 calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
379 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
380 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
381 * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
382
383 2008-02-22 - v0.6.3
384 * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
385 previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
386 EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
387 replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
388 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
389 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
390 replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
391 present random binary data)
392 * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
393 if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
394 external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
395 when an interface is added
396 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
397 * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
398 indicating when new scan results become available
399 * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
400 fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
401 can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
402 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
403 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
404 * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
405 WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
406 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
407
408 2008-01-01 - v0.6.2
409 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
410 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
411 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
412 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
413 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
414 this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
415 changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
416 versions
417 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
418 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
419 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
420 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
421 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
422 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
423 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
424 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
425 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
426 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
427 loop where the driver did not even try to associate
428 * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
429 power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
430 [Bug 237]
431 * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
432 wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
433 non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
434 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
435 in .config
436 * changed scan results data structure to include all information
437 elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
438 driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
439 are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
440 start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
441 work with new features
442 * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
443 application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
444 binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
445 QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
446 * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
447 available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
448 http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
449 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
450 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
451
452 2007-11-24 - v0.6.1
453 * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
454 (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
455 * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
456 full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
457 PAC-Opaque)
458 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
459 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
460 * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
461 internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
462 WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
463 * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
464 .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
465 driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
466 * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
467 driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
468 [Bug 232]
469 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
470 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
471 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
472 buffer read overflow
473 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
474 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
475 be lost
476 * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
477 recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
478
479 2007-05-28 - v0.6.0
480 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
481 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
482 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
483 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
484 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
485 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
486 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
487 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
488 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
489 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
490 different)
491 * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
492 of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
493 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
494 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
495 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
496 for PAC provisioning)
497 * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
498 * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
499 store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
500 * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
501 (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
502 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
503 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
504 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
505 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
506 added support for EAP-FAST
507 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
508 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
509 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
510 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
511 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
512 (still experimental)
513 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
514 if TLS library initialization fails
515 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
516 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
517 needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
518 IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
519
520 2006-11-24 - v0.5.6
521 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
522 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
523 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
524 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
525 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
526 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
527 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
528 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
529 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
530 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
531 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
532 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
533 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
534 frame protection)
535 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
536 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
537 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
538 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
539 immediately without sending a command
540 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
541 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
542 use PIN)
543 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
544 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
545 partial AID
546 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
547 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
548 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
549 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
550 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
551 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
552 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
553 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
554 parameter is not exposed
555
556 2006-08-27 - v0.5.5
557 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
558 (wide-char functions)
559 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
560 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
561 keys
562 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
563 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
564 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
565 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
566 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
567 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
568 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
569 when determining whether there are pending messages
570 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
571 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
572 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
573 localhost was used)
574 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
575 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
576 future versions)
577 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
578 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
579 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
580 case when group is not changed
581 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
582 Windows version
583 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
584 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
585 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
586 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
587 used even if the source address does not match with it
588 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
589 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
590 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
591 addresses from being accepted as local control requests
592 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
593 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
594 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
595 implementation
596 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
597 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
598 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
599 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
600 USB) [Bug 113]
601 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
602 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
603 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
604 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
605 registry (ctrl_interface string value in
606 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
607 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
608 to be enabled)
609 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
610 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
611
612 2006-06-20 - v0.5.4
613 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
614 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
615 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
616 stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
617 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
618 configure the maximum EAP fragment size
619 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
620 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
621 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
622 is terminated
623 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
624 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
625 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
626 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
627 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
628 included)
629 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
630 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
631 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
632 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
633 a raw PSK (hex string)
634 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
635 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
636 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
637 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
638 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
639 automatically for the network and that can be used with
640 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
641 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
642 status changes or when associating with a different network
643 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
644 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
645 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
646 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
647 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
648 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
649 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
650 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
651 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
652 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
653 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
654 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
655 handle
656 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
657 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
658 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
659 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
660 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
661 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
662 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
663 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
664 only one application to open the device
665 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
666 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
667 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
668 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
669 when specifying the interface
670 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
671 and re-inserted [Bug 159]
672 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
673 big endian hosts [Bug 146]
674
675 2006-04-27 - v0.5.3
676 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
677 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
678 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
679 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
680 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
681 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
682 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
683 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
684 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
685 in Windows registry
686 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
687 Windows registry
688 * added support for controlling network device operational state
689 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
690 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
691 that can use this information)
692 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
693 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
694 [Bug 140]
695 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
696 primitive
697 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
698 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
699 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
700 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
701 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
702 on how to use this)
703
704 2006-03-19 - v0.5.2
705 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
706 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
707 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
708 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
709 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
710 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
711 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
712 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
713 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
714 interface (-bbr0 on command line)
715 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
716 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
717 instead of a static list generated at build time
718 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
719 removing PMKSA entries
720 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
721 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
722 WPA/RSN IE
723 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
724 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
725
726 2006-01-29 - v0.5.1
727 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
728 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
729 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
730 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
731 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
732 option can be changed if needed
733 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
734 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
735 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
736 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
737 recommended)
738 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
739 to disable TLS library for normal authentication
740 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
741 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
742 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
743 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
744 not likely to happen in real use.
745 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
746 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
747 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
748 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
749 ap_scan=2)
750
751 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
752 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
753 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
754 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
755 and stakey=1)
756 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
757 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
758 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
759 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
760 other C libraries and compilers
761 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
762 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
763 code more portable
764 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
765 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
766 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
767 example makefile for nmake
768 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
769 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
770 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
771 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
772 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
773 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
774 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
775 unregister a service
776 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
777 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
778 * added better support for multiple control interface backends
779 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
780 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
781 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
782 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
783 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
784 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
785 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
786 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
787 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
788 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
789 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
790 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
791 winpcap, freebsd, none)
792 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
793 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
794 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
795 3 ms
796 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
797 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
798 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
799 configuration blob
800 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
801 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
802 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
803 session resumption
804 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
805 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
806 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
807 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
808 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
809 easily on cross-compilation builds
810 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
811 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
812 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
813 Windows service
814 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
815 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
816 release since it is not needed anymore
817 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
818 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
819
820 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
821 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
822 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
823 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
824 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
825 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
826 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
827 during handshake
828 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
829 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
830 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
831 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
832 would get
833 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
834 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
835 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
836 cannot be parsed successfully
837 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
838 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
839 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
840 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
841 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
842 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
843 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
844 drivers that may take more than five second to associate
845
846 2005-10-27 - v0.4.6
847 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
848 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
849 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
850 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
851 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
852 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
853 private_key
854 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
855 state machine interface in v0.4.5)
856 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
857 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
858 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
859 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
860 system-wide trusted CA list
861 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
862 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
863 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
864 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
865 configuration to override the values from the configuration)
866 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
867 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
868 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
869 wpa_supplicant process
870 * wpa_gui:
871 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
872 - added WEP key configuration
873 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
874 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
875 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
876 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
877 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
878 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
879 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
880 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
881 EAP authentication immediately after association
882
883 2005-09-25 - v0.4.5
884 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
885 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
886 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
887 generate, e.g., man pages
888 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
889 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
890 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
891 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
892 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
893 frame
894 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
895 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
896 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
897 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
898 Ethernet
899 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
900 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
901 server_nai configuration option from network blocks
902 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
903 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
904 these multicast addresses by default
905 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
906 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
907 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
908 in wpa_supplicant.conf)
909 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
910 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
911 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
912 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
913 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
914 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
915
916 2005-08-21 - v0.4.4
917 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
918 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
919 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
920 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
921 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
922 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
923 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
924 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
925 this with private_key)
926 * ported wpa_gui to Windows
927 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
928 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
929 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
930 with drivers that do not support WPA
931 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
932 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
933 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
934 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
935 * added support for adding and removing network from the current
936 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
937 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
938 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
939 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
940 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
941 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
942 the control interface, for example:
943 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
944 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
945 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
946 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
947 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
948 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
949 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
950 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
951 doing this for PEAPv0, too)
952 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
953 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
954 open network configuration)
955
956 2005-06-26 - v0.4.3
957 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
958 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
959 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
960 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
961 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
962 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
963 (l2_packet_*.c)
964
965 2005-06-12 - v0.4.2
966 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
967 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
968 this)
969 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
970 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
971 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
972 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
973 and the network block order in the file is used instead
974 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
975 freed memory if pre-authentication times out
976 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
977 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
978 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
979 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
980 NDIS drivers
981 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
982 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
983 configuration file
984 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
985 processing
986 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
987 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
988 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
989 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
990 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
991 the key in this case
992 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
993 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
994 driver_ops function set_param()
995 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
996 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
997 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
998 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
999 entered as a number, not group name
1000 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
1001 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
1002 cards
1003
1004 2005-05-22 - v0.4.1
1005 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
1006 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
1007 ioctl order in v0.4.0
1008 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
1009 branch of madwifi CVS tree
1010 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
1011 authentication session
1012 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
1013 password has expired)
1014 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
1015 and adding them to the certificate chain
1016 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
1017 were used
1018 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
1019 identity or password is entered through control interface
1020 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
1021 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
1022 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
1023 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
1024 Qt development tools)
1025 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
1026 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
1027 'reassociate' command has been used
1028 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
1029 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
1030 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
1031 * added support for getting scan results through control interface
1032 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
1033 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1034 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1035
1036 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
1037 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
1038 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
1039 debugging code is not needed
1040 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
1041 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
1042 overflow
1043 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
1044 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
1045 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
1046 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
1047 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
1048 but they may be removed in the future)
1049 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
1050 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
1051 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
1052 interoperate with some authentication servers
1053 * added support for sending TLS alerts
1054 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
1055 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
1056 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
1057 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
1058 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
1059 delayed until the PIN is available
1060 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
1061 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
1062 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
1063 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
1064 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
1065 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
1066 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
1067 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
1068 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
1069 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
1070 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
1071 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
1072 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
1073 events
1074 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
1075 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
1076 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
1077 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
1078 using assoc_info events
1079 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
1080 process id into a file
1081
1082 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
1083 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
1084 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
1085 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
1086 authentication servers
1087 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
1088 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
1089 ap_scan=2)
1090 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
1091 identity/password/otp
1092 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
1093 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
1094 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
1095 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
1096 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
1097 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
1098 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
1099
1100 2005-01-24 - v0.3.6
1101 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
1102 when no matching AP is found
1103
1104 2005-01-23 - v0.3.5
1105 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
1106 when using WPA2-PSK
1107 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
1108 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
1109 retransmission of dropped frames)
1110 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
1111 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
1112 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
1113 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
1114 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
1115 requires EAP workarounds
1116 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
1117 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
1118 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
1119 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
1120 authentication attempt
1121 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
1122 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
1123 verified)
1124
1125 2005-01-09 - v0.3.4
1126 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
1127 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
1128 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
1129 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
1130 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
1131 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
1132 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
1133 supports WPA-None)
1134 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
1135 mingw
1136
1137 2005-01-02 - v0.3.3
1138 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
1139 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
1140 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
1141 small problems with error case processing not terminating on
1142 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
1143 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
1144 Cisco AP when using WPA2
1145 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
1146 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
1147 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
1148 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
1149 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
1150
1151 2004-12-19 - v0.3.2
1152 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
1153 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
1154 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
1155 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
1156 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
1157 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
1158 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
1159 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
1160 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
1161 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
1162 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
1163 running)
1164 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
1165 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
1166 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
1167 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
1168 the interface name
1169 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
1170 file
1171 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
1172 when exiting
1173 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
1174 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
1175 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
1176 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
1177 information
1178 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
1179 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
1180 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
1181 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
1182 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
1183 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
1184 authentication
1185 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
1186 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
1187 unicast key)
1188 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
1189 drivers
1190 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
1191 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
1192
1193 2004-12-12 - v0.3.1
1194 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
1195 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
1196 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
1197 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
1198 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
1199 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
1200 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
1201 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
1202 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
1203 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
1204 group, proto variables
1205 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
1206 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
1207 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
1208 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
1209 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
1210 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
1211 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
1212 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
1213 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
1214 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
1215 the association
1216
1217 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
1218 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
1219 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
1220 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
1221 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
1222 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
1223 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
1224 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
1225 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
1226 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
1227 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
1228 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
1229 reply
1230 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
1231 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
1232 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
1233 label which is thus more suitable default option
1234 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
1235 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
1236 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
1237 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
1238 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
1239 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
1240 WEP keys)
1241 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
1242 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
1243 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
1244 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
1245 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
1246 session resumption)
1247 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
1248 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
1249 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
1250 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
1251 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
1252 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
1253 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
1254 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
1255 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
1256 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
1257 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
1258 drivers expect this
1259 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
1260 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
1261 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
1262 * added support for LEAP with WPA
1263 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
1264 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
1265 v17 or newer
1266 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
1267 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
1268 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
1269 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
1270 forever
1271 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
1272 default; all key information can be included with -K command line
1273 argument to match the previous behavior
1274 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
1275 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
1276 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
1277 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
1278 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
1279 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
1280 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
1281 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
1282 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
1283 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
1284 association
1285 * changed driver interface API:
1286 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
1287 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
1288 not defined)
1289 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
1290 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
1291 interfaces has been converted to the new API
1292 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
1293 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
1294 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
1295 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
1296 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
1297 sequential EAP packets
1298 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
1299 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
1300 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
1301 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
1302 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
1303 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
1304 configuration
1305 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
1306 IEs than just one WPA IE
1307 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
1308 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
1309 required kernel mods have not yet been committed
1310 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
1311 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
1312
1313 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
1314 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
1315 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
1316 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
1317 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
1318 for the broadcast key
1319 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
1320 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
1321 WPA
1322 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
1323 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
1324 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
1325 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
1326 Linux wireless extensions get support for this
1327 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
1328 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
1329 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
1330 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
1331 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
1332 supporting wireless extensions.
1333 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
1334 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
1335 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1336 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
1337 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
1338 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
1339 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
1340 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
1341 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
1342 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
1343 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
1344 started again
1345 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
1346 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
1347 information so that full authentication does not need to be
1348 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
1349 frontend is attached
1350 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
1351 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
1352 and to provide access control for the control interface;
1353 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
1354 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
1355 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
1356 the control interface;
1357 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
1358 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
1359 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
1360 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
1361 * added support for LEAP
1362 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
1363 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
1364 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
1365 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
1366
1367 2004-06-20 - v0.2.3
1368 * sort scan results to improve AP selection
1369 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
1370 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
1371 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
1372 TLS processing
1373 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
1374 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
1375 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
1376 automatically)
1377 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
1378 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
1379 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
1380 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
1381 from the station)
1382 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
1383 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
1384 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
1385 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
1386 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
1387 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
1388 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
1389 (key_mgmt=NONE)
1390
1391 2004-05-31 - v0.2.2
1392 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1393 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
1394 EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
1395 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
1396 EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
1397 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
1398 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
1399 EAP-TTLS/PAP
1400 EAP-TTLS/CHAP
1401 EAP-PEAP/TLS
1402 EAP-PEAP/GTC
1403 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
1404 EAP-GTC
1405 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
1406 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
1407 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
1408 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
1409 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
1410 * added support for requesting identity and password information using
1411 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
1412 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
1413 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
1414 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
1415 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
1416 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
1417 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
1418 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
1419 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
1420 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
1421 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
1422 anyway for TLS)
1423 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
1424 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
1425
1426 2004-05-06 - v0.2.1
1427 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
1428 Supplicant
1429 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
1430 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
1431 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
1432 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
1433 - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
1434 - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
1435 - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
1436 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
1437 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
1438 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
1439 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
1440 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
1441 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
1442 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
1443 option
1444 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
1445 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
1446 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
1447 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
1448 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
1449 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
1450 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
1451 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
1452 - improved PTK Key Handshake
1453 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
1454 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
1455 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
1456 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
1457 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
1458 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
1459 wpa_supplicant
1460 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
1461 mode
1462 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
1463 * made some feature compile time configurable
1464 - .config file for make
1465 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
1466 - EAPOL/EAP functions
1467
1468 2004-02-15 - v0.2.0
1469 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
