2332012-05-10 - v1.0
234 * bsd: Add support for setting HT values in IFM_MMASK.
235 * Delay STA entry removal until Deauth/Disassoc TX status in AP mode.
236 This allows the driver to use PS buffering of Deauthentication and
237 Disassociation frames when the STA is in power save sleep. Only
238 available with drivers that provide TX status events for Deauth/
239 Disassoc frames (nl80211).
240 * Drop oldest unknown BSS table entries first. This makes it less
241 likely to hit connection issues in environments with huge number
242 of visible APs.
243 * Add systemd support.
244 * Add support for setting the syslog facility from the config file
245 at build time.
246 * atheros: Add support for IEEE 802.11w configuration.
247 * AP mode: Allow enable HT20 if driver supports it, by setting the
248 config parameter ieee80211n.
249 * Allow AP mode to disconnect STAs based on low ACK condition (when
250 the data connection is not working properly, e.g., due to the STA
251 going outside the range of the AP). Disabled by default, enable by
252 config option disassoc_low_ack.
253 * nl80211:
254 - Support GTK rekey offload.
255 - Support PMKSA candidate events. This adds support for RSN
256 pre-authentication with nl80211 interface and drivers that handle
257 roaming internally.
258 * dbus:
259 - Add a DBus signal for EAP SM requests, emitted on the Interface
260 object.
261 - Export max scan ssids supported by the driver as MaxScanSSID.
262 - Add signal Certification for information about server certification.
263 - Add BSSExpireAge and BSSExpireCount interface properties and
264 support set/get, which allows for setting BSS cache expiration age
265 and expiration scan count.
266 - Add ConfigFile to AddInterface properties.
267 - Add Interface.Country property and support to get/set the value.
268 - Add DBus property CurrentAuthMode.
269 - P2P DBus API added.
270 - Emit property changed events (for property BSSs) when adding/
271 removing BSSs.
272 - Treat '' in SSIDs of Interface.Scan as a request for broadcast
273 scan, instead of ignoring it.
274 - Add DBus getter/setter for FastReauth.
275 - Raise PropertiesChanged on org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.
276 * wpa_cli:
277 - Send AP-STA-DISCONNECTED event when an AP disconnects a station
278 due to inactivity.
279 - Make second argument to set command optional. This can be used to
280 indicate a zero length value.

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

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

396 - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346). Enable with build parameter
397 CONFIG_TLSV11.
398 - Add domainComponent parser for X.509 names.
399 * Linux: Add RFKill support by adding an interface state "disabled".
400 * Reorder some IEs to get closer to IEEE 802.11 standard. Move
401 WMM into end of Beacon, Probe Resp and (Re)Assoc Resp frames.
402 Move HT IEs to be later in (Re)Assoc Resp.

JM
4072010-04-18 - v0.7.2
408 * nl80211: fixed number of issues with roaming
409 * avoid unnecessary roaming if multiple APs with similar signal
410 strength are present in scan results
411 * add TLS client events and server probing to ease design of
412 automatic detection of EAP parameters
413 * add option for server certificate matching (SHA256 hash of the
414 certificate) instead of trusted CA certificate configuration
415 * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
416 configuration options
417 * wpa_gui-qt4: do not show too frequent WPS AP available events as
418 tray messages
419 * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation
420 * EAP-TNC: add Flags field into fragment acknowledgement (needed to
421 interoperate with other implementations; may potentially breaks
422 compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions)
423 * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event
424 messages to reduce latency in showing these
425 (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this)
426 * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count)
427 * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on
428 configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids)
429 * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not
430 backwards compatible with old versions
431 * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air
432 and over-the-DS)
433 * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP
434 selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel
435 * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more
436 dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in
437 the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within
438 ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network
439 configuration block to request background scans less frequently when
440 signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background
441 scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably
442 (this is currently only available with nl80211)
443 * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages
444 * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with
445 linguist and add German translation
446 * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS)
447 * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no
448 enabled networks
449

JM
4502010-01-16 - v0.7.1
451 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
452 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
453 will need modifications
454 * cleaned up various module interfaces
455 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
456 single document
457 * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to
458 avoid issues when roaming between APs
459 * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API
460 (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
461 * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks
462 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
463 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
464 * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from
465 receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated
466 * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops
467 wrapper
468 * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information
469 over multiple scans (that may include only partial results)
470 * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while
471 the dialog is kept open
472 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
473 * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some
474 unnecessary scans and to speed up association
475
224f7bda 4762009-11-21 - v0.7.0
1cc84c1c
JM
477 * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
478 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
42f1ee7d
JM
479 * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535
480 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes)
362f781e
JM
481 * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line
482 (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the
483 interface will be used
6a1063e0
JM
484 * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize
485 scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden
486 SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only
487 with nl80211
f4c617ee
JM
488 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
489 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
c472ef75
JM
490 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to
491 fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication
4cb0dcd9
JM
492 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
493 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
c2a04078
JM
494 * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication
495 and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with
496 nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol
497 to be used (IEEE 802.11r)
c0a61908
JM
498 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
499 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
500 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
56360b16
JM
501 * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd
502 * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network
503 block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks
504 (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality
505 into wpa_supplicant
506 * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers
507 (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood)
508 * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs
509 and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog
510 and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin,
511 wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn
512 (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no
513 wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed)
514 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
515 nl80211/mac80211 functionality
516 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
517 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
518 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
519 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
520 * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group
521 address frames
522 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
523 * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan
524 (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed
525 up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small
526 subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently
527 supported only with -Dnl80211)
528 * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the
529 association event and the following EAPOL-Key
530 * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow
531 network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within
532 an ESS (same SSID)
533 * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1)
1cc84c1c 534
6f78f2fb 5352009-01-06 - v0.6.7
30f5c941
JM
536 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
537 (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to
538 enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in
539 addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to
540 configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y
541 into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in
542 wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration
543 file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to
544 manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details
a9d1364c 545 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
e33bbd8f 546 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
f4f2774a
JM
547 * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server
548 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default
c3ece504 549 * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui
a2b3a34b 550 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
c674a55d
JM
551 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed
552 DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user
553 will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc
554 servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog
cae93bdc 555 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
a9d1364c 556
6e89cc43 5572008-11-23 - v0.6.6
81eec387
JM
558 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
559 (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
560 enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
561 and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
581a8cde
JM
562 * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
563 used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
564 against TKIP deficiencies
46690a3b
JM
565 * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
566 TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
567 between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
568 CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
fa71a1d8
JM
569 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
570 not bytes
0cf03892
JM
571 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
572 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
573 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
574 needed with that version anymore)
cd35db9f
JM
575 * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
576 mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
577 with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
e519314e
JW
578 * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
579 consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
1ac2d4a9
JM
580 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
581 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
582 about
2a24bb31 583
988ab690 5842008-11-01 - v0.6.5
1d8ce433
JM
585 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
586 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
5d22a1d5 587 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
56586197
JM
588 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
589 (IEEE 802.11w)
c6845259
JM
590 * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to
591 use correct FTIE
8de59496
JM
592 * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication
593 method with wpa_gui-qt4
1d8ce433 594
d48ae45b 5952008-08-10 - v0.6.4
7914585f 596 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
4f1c5617 597 * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST
b5a357b4 598 * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver
e7d80033 599 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
fe2b7dda
JM
600 * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to
601 allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque
1b52ea47 602 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
d952d16d
JM
603 * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the
604 internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8
605 encapsulated RSA key can now be used)
b95394c6
JM
606 * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal
607 LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA
608 calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y)
3e2ad1b9
JM
609 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
610 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
3ff77e07 611 * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching)
7914585f 612
6fc6879b
JM
6132008-02-22 - v0.6.3
614 * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were
615 previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK,
616 EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the
617 replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate
618 'identity' value, that would now be configured as
619 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the
620 replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to
621 present random binary data)
622 * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added,
623 if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an
624 external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant
625 when an interface is added
626 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
627 * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for
628 indicating when new scan results become available
629 * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be
630 fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command
631 can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time)
632 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
633 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
634 * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic
635 WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X
636 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
637
6382008-01-01 - v0.6.2
639 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
640 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
641 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
642 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
643 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
644 this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs
645 changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
646 versions
647 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
648 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
649 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
650 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1")
651 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
652 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
653 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
654 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
655 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
656 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
657 loop where the driver did not even try to associate
658 * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce
659 power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second)
660 [Bug 237]
661 * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of
662 wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged,
663 non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details;
664 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y
665 in .config
666 * changed scan results data structure to include all information
667 elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result()
668 driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results
669 are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should
670 start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to
671 work with new features
672 * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4
673 application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows
674 binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires
675 QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries
676 * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs
677 available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier:
678 http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip
679 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
680 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
681
6822007-11-24 - v0.6.1
683 * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash
684 (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format
685 * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to
686 full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired
687 PAC-Opaque)
688 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
689 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
690 * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake
691 internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and
692 WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key)
693 * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in
694 .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the
695 driver to take care of the 4-way handshake
696 * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using
697 driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965)
698 [Bug 232]
699 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
700 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
701 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
702 buffer read overflow
703 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
704 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
705 be lost
706 * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report
707 recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243]
708
7092007-05-28 - v0.6.0
710 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
711 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
712 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
713 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
714 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
715 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
716 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
717 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
718 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
719 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
720 different)
721 * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2
722 of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST
723 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
724 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
725 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
726 for PAC provisioning)
727 * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning
728 * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to
729 store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string)
730 * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format
731 (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string)
732 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
733 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
734 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
735 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
736 added support for EAP-FAST
737 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
738 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
739 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
740 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
741 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
742 (still experimental)
743 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
744 if TLS library initialization fails
745 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
746 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes
747 needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and
748 IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC)
749
7502006-11-24 - v0.5.6
751 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
752 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
753 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
754 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
755 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
756 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
757 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
758 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
759 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
760 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
761 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
762 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
763 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
764 frame protection)
765 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
766 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
767 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
768 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
769 immediately without sending a command
770 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
771 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
772 use PIN)
773 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
774 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
775 partial AID
776 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
777 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
778 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
779 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
780 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
781 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
782 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
783 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
784 parameter is not exposed
785
7862006-08-27 - v0.5.5
787 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
788 (wide-char functions)
789 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
790 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
791 keys
792 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
793 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
794 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
795 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
796 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
797 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
798 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
799 when determining whether there are pending messages
800 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
801 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
802 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
803 localhost was used)
804 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
805 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
806 future versions)
807 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
808 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
809 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
810 case when group is not changed
811 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
812 Windows version
813 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
814 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
815 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
816 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
817 used even if the source address does not match with it
818 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
819 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
820 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
821 addresses from being accepted as local control requests
822 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
823 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
824 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
825 implementation
826 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
827 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
828 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
829 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
830 USB) [Bug 113]
831 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
832 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
833 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
834 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
835 registry (ctrl_interface string value in
836 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
837 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
838 to be enabled)
839 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
840 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
841
8422006-06-20 - v0.5.4
843 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
844 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
845 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
846 stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
847 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
848 configure the maximum EAP fragment size
849 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
850 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
851 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
852 is terminated
853 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
854 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
855 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
856 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
857 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
858 included)
859 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
860 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
861 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
862 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
863 a raw PSK (hex string)
864 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
865 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
866 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
867 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
868 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
869 automatically for the network and that can be used with
870 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
871 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
872 status changes or when associating with a different network
873 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
874 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
875 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
876 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
877 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
878 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
879 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
880 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
881 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
882 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
883 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
884 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
885 handle
886 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
887 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
888 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
889 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
890 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
891 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
892 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
893 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
894 only one application to open the device
895 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
896 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
897 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
898 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
899 when specifying the interface
900 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
901 and re-inserted [Bug 159]
902 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
903 big endian hosts [Bug 146]
904
9052006-04-27 - v0.5.3
906 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
907 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
908 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
909 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
910 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
911 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
912 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
913 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
914 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
915 in Windows registry
916 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
917 Windows registry
918 * added support for controlling network device operational state
919 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
920 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
921 that can use this information)
922 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
923 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
924 [Bug 140]
925 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
926 primitive
927 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
928 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
929 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
930 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
931 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
932 on how to use this)
933
9342006-03-19 - v0.5.2
935 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
936 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
937 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
938 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
939 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
940 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
941 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
942 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
943 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
944 interface (-bbr0 on command line)
945 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
946 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
947 instead of a static list generated at build time
948 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
949 removing PMKSA entries
950 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
951 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
952 WPA/RSN IE
953 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
954 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
955
9562006-01-29 - v0.5.1
957 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
958 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
959 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
960 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
961 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
962 option can be changed if needed
963 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
964 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
965 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
966 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
967 recommended)
968 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
969 to disable TLS library for normal authentication
970 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
971 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
972 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
973 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
974 not likely to happen in real use.
975 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
976 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
977 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
978 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
979 ap_scan=2)
980
9812005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
982 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
983 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
984 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
985 and stakey=1)
986 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
987 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
988 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
989 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
990 other C libraries and compilers
991 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
992 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
993 code more portable
994 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
995 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
996 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
997 example makefile for nmake
998 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
999 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
1000 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
1001 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
1002 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
1003 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
1004 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
1005 unregister a service
1006 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
1007 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
1008 * added better support for multiple control interface backends
1009 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
1010 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
1011 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
1012 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
1013 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
1014 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
1015 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
1016 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
1017 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
1018 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
1019 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
1020 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
1021 winpcap, freebsd, none)
1022 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
1023 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
1024 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
1025 3 ms
1026 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
1027 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
1028 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
1029 configuration blob
1030 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
1031 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
1032 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
1033 session resumption
1034 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
1035 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
1036 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
1037 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
1038 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
1039 easily on cross-compilation builds
1040 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
1041 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
1042 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
1043 Windows service
1044 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
1045 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
1046 release since it is not needed anymore
1047 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
1048 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
1049
10502005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
1051 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
1052 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
1053 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
1054 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
1055 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
1056 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
1057 during handshake
1058 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
1059 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
1060 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
1061 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
1062 would get
1063 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
1064 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
1065 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
1066 cannot be parsed successfully
1067 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
1068 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
1069 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
1070 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
1071 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
1072 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
1073 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
1074 drivers that may take more than five second to associate
1075
10762005-10-27 - v0.4.6
1077 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
1078 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
1079 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
1080 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
1081 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
1082 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
1083 private_key
1084 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
1085 state machine interface in v0.4.5)
1086 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
1087 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
1088 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
1089 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
1090 system-wide trusted CA list
1091 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
1092 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
1093 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
1094 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
1095 configuration to override the values from the configuration)
1096 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
1097 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
1098 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
1099 wpa_supplicant process
1100 * wpa_gui:
1101 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
1102 - added WEP key configuration
1103 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
1104 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
1105 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
1106 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
1107 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
1108 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
1109 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
1110 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
1111 EAP authentication immediately after association
1112
11132005-09-25 - v0.4.5
1114 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
1115 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
1116 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
1117 generate, e.g., man pages
1118 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
1119 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
1120 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
1121 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
1122 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
1123 frame
1124 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
1125 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
1126 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
1127 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
1128 Ethernet
1129 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
1130 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
1131 server_nai configuration option from network blocks
1132 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
1133 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
1134 these multicast addresses by default
1135 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
1136 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
1137 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
1138 in wpa_supplicant.conf)
1139 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
1140 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
1141 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
1142 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
1143 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
1144 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
1145
11462005-08-21 - v0.4.4
1147 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
1148 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
1149 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
1150 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
1151 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
1152 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
1153 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
1154 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
1155 this with private_key)
1156 * ported wpa_gui to Windows
1157 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
1158 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
1159 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
1160 with drivers that do not support WPA
1161 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
1162 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
1163 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
1164 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
1165 * added support for adding and removing network from the current
1166 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
1167 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
1168 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
1169 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
1170 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
1171 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
1172 the control interface, for example:
1173 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
1174 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
1175 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
1176 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
1177 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1178 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1179 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
1180 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
1181 doing this for PEAPv0, too)
1182 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
1183 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
1184 open network configuration)
1185
11862005-06-26 - v0.4.3
1187 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
1188 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
1189 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
1190 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
1191 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
1192 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
1193 (l2_packet_*.c)
1194
11952005-06-12 - v0.4.2
1196 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
1197 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
1198 this)
1199 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
1200 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
1201 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
1202 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
1203 and the network block order in the file is used instead
1204 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
1205 freed memory if pre-authentication times out
1206 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
1207 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
1208 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
1209 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
1210 NDIS drivers
1211 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
1212 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
1213 configuration file
1214 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
1215 processing
1216 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
1217 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
1218 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
1219 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
1220 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
1221 the key in this case
1222 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
1223 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
1224 driver_ops function set_param()
1225 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
1226 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
1227 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
1228 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
1229 entered as a number, not group name
1230 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
1231 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
1232 cards
1233
12342005-05-22 - v0.4.1
1235 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
1236 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
1237 ioctl order in v0.4.0
1238 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
1239 branch of madwifi CVS tree
1240 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
1241 authentication session
1242 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
1243 password has expired)
1244 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
1245 and adding them to the certificate chain
1246 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
1247 were used
1248 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
1249 identity or password is entered through control interface
1250 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
1251 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
1252 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
1253 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
1254 Qt development tools)
1255 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
1256 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
1257 'reassociate' command has been used
1258 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
1259 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
1260 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
1261 * added support for getting scan results through control interface
1262 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
1263 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
1264 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
1265
12662005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
1267 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
1268 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
1269 debugging code is not needed
1270 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
1271 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
1272 overflow
1273 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
1274 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
1275 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
1276 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
1277 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
1278 but they may be removed in the future)
1279 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
1280 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
1281 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
1282 interoperate with some authentication servers
1283 * added support for sending TLS alerts
1284 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
1285 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
1286 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
1287 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
1288 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
1289 delayed until the PIN is available
1290 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
1291 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
1292 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
1293 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
1294 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
1295 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
1296 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
1297 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
1298 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
1299 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
1300 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
1301 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
1302 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
1303 events
1304 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
1305 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
1306 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
1307 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
1308 using assoc_info events
1309 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
1310 process id into a file
1311
13122005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
1313 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
1314 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
1315 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
1316 authentication servers
1317 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
1318 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
1319 ap_scan=2)
1320 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
1321 identity/password/otp
1322 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
1323 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
1324 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
1325 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
1326 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
1327 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
1328 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
1329
13302005-01-24 - v0.3.6
1331 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
1332 when no matching AP is found
1333
13342005-01-23 - v0.3.5
1335 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
1336 when using WPA2-PSK
1337 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
1338 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
1339 retransmission of dropped frames)
1340 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
1341 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
1342 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
1343 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
1344 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
1345 requires EAP workarounds
1346 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
1347 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
1348 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
1349 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
1350 authentication attempt
1351 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
1352 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
1353 verified)
1354
13552005-01-09 - v0.3.4
1356 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
1357 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
1358 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
1359 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
1360 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
1361 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
1362 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
1363 supports WPA-None)
1364 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
1365 mingw
1366
13672005-01-02 - v0.3.3
1368 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
1369 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
1370 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
1371 small problems with error case processing not terminating on
1372 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
1373 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
1374 Cisco AP when using WPA2
1375 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
1376 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
1377 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
1378 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
1379 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
1380
13812004-12-19 - v0.3.2
1382 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
1383 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
1384 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
1385 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
1386 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
1387 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
1388 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
1389 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
1390 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
1391 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
1392 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
1393 running)
1394 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
1395 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
1396 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
1397 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
1398 the interface name
1399 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
1400 file
1401 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
1402 when exiting
1403 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
1404 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
1405 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
1406 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
1407 information
1408 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
1409 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
1410 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
1411 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
1412 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
1413 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
1414 authentication
1415 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
1416 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
1417 unicast key)
1418 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
1419 drivers
1420 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
1421 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
1422
14232004-12-12 - v0.3.1
1424 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
1425 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
1426 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
1427 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
1428 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
1429 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
1430 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
1431 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
1432 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
1433 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
1434 group, proto variables
1435 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
1436 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
1437 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
1438 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
1439 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
1440 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
1441 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
1442 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
1443 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
1444 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
1445 the association
1446
14472004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
1448 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
1449 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
1450 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
1451 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
1452 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
1453 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
1454 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
1455 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
1456 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
1457 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
1458 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
1459 reply
1460 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
1461 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
1462 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
1463 label which is thus more suitable default option
1464 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
1465 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
1466 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
1467 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
1468 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
1469 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
1470 WEP keys)
1471 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
1472 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
1473 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
1474 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
1475 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
1476 session resumption)
1477 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
1478 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
1479 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
1480 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
1481 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
1482 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
1483 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
1484 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
1485 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
1486 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
1487 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
1488 drivers expect this
1489 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
1490 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
1491 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
1492 * added support for LEAP with WPA
1493 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
1494 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
1495 v17 or newer
1496 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
1497 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
1498 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
1499 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
1500 forever
1501 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
1502 default; all key information can be included with -K command line
1503 argument to match the previous behavior
1504 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
1505 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
1506 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
1507 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
1508 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
1509 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
1510 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
1511 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
1512 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
1513 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
1514 association
1515 * changed driver interface API:
1516 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
1517 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
1518 not defined)
1519 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
1520 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
1521 interfaces has been converted to the new API
1522 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
1523 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
1524 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
1525 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
1526 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
1527 sequential EAP packets
1528 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
1529 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
1530 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
1531 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
1532 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
1533 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
1534 configuration
1535 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
1536 IEs than just one WPA IE
1537 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
1538 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
1539 required kernel mods have not yet been committed
1540 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
1541 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
1542
15432004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
1544 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
1545 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
1546 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
1547 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
1548 for the broadcast key
1549 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
1550 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
1551 WPA
1552 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
1553 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
1554 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
1555 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
1556 Linux wireless extensions get support for this
1557 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
1558 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
1559 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
1560 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
1561 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
1562 supporting wireless extensions.
1563 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
1564 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
1565 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1566 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
1567 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
1568 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
1569 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
1570 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
1571 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
1572 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
1573 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
1574 started again
1575 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
1576 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
1577 information so that full authentication does not need to be
1578 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
1579 frontend is attached
1580 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
1581 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
1582 and to provide access control for the control interface;
1583 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
1584 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
1585 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
1586 the control interface;
1587 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
1588 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
1589 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
1590 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
1591 * added support for LEAP
1592 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
1593 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
1594 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
1595 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
1596
15972004-06-20 - v0.2.3
1598 * sort scan results to improve AP selection
1599 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
1600 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
1601 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
1602 TLS processing
1603 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
1604 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
1605 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
1606 automatically)
1607 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
1608 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
1609 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
1610 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
1611 from the station)
1612 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
1613 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
1614 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
1615 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
1616 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
1617 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
1618 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
1619 (key_mgmt=NONE)
1620
16212004-05-31 - v0.2.2
1622 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
1623 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
1624 EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC
1625 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
1626 EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS
1627 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2
1628 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP
1629 EAP-TTLS/PAP
1630 EAP-TTLS/CHAP
1631 EAP-PEAP/TLS
1632 EAP-PEAP/GTC
1633 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
1634 EAP-GTC
1635 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
1636 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
1637 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
1638 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
1639 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
1640 * added support for requesting identity and password information using
1641 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
1642 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
1643 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
1644 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
1645 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
1646 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
1647 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
1648 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
1649 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
1650 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
1651 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
1652 anyway for TLS)
1653 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
1654 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
1655
16562004-05-06 - v0.2.1
1657 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
1658 Supplicant
1659 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
1660 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
1661 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
1662 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
1663 - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
1664 - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
1665 - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
1666 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
1667 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
1668 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
1669 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
1670 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
1671 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
1672 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
1673 option
1674 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
1675 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
1676 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
1677 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
1678 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
1679 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
1680 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
1681 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
1682 - improved PTK Key Handshake
1683 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
1684 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
1685 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
1686 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
1687 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
1688 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
1689 wpa_supplicant
1690 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
1691 mode
1692 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
1693 * made some feature compile time configurable
1694 - .config file for make
1695 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
1696 - EAPOL/EAP functions
1697
16982004-02-15 - v0.2.0
1699 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
