CONFIG_WPA_CLI_EDIT=y 742 can now be used to build wpa_cli with internal implementation of 743 line editing and history support. This can be used as a replacement 744 for CONFIG_READLINE=y. 745 * AP mode: Add max_num_sta config option, which can be used to limit 746 the number of stations allowed to connect to the AP. 747 * Add WPA_IGNORE_CONFIG_ERRORS build option to continue in case of bad 748 config file. 749 * wext: Increase scan timeout from 5 to 10 seconds. 750 * Add blacklist command, allowing an external program to 751 manage the BSS blacklist and display its current contents. 752 * WPS: 753 - Add wpa_cli wps_pin get command for generating random PINs. This can 754 be used in a UI to generate a PIN without starting WPS (or P2P) 755 operation. 756 - Set RF bands based on driver capabilities, instead of hardcoding 757 them. 758 - Add mechanism for indicating non-standard WPS errors. 759 - Add CONFIG_WPS_REG_DISABLE_OPEN=y option to disable open networks 760 by default. 761 - Add wps_ap_pin cli command for wpa_supplicant AP mode. 762 - Add wps_check_pin cli command for processing PIN from user input. 763 UIs can use this command to process a PIN entered by a user and to 764 validate the checksum digit (if present). 765 - Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection. 766 - New wps_cancel command in wpa_cli will cancel a pending WPS 767 operation. 768 - wpa_cli action: Add WPS_EVENT_SUCCESS and WPS_EVENT_FAIL handlers. 769 - Trigger WPS config update on Manufacturer, Model Name, Model 770 Number, and Serial Number changes. 771 - Fragment size is now configurable for EAP-WSC peer.

Slow down attacks on 774 failures up to 10. 775 - Allow AP to start in Enrollee mode without AP PIN for probing, to 776 be compatible with Windows 7. 777 - Add Config Error into WPS-FAIL events to provide more info to the 778 user on how to resolve the issue. 779 - Label and Display config methods are not allowed to be enabled 780 at the same time, since it is unclear which PIN to use if both 781 methods are advertised. 782 - When controlling multiple interfaces: 783 - apply WPS commands to all interfaces configured to use WPS 784 - apply WPS config changes to all interfaces that use WPS 785 - when an attack is detected on any interface, disable AP PIN on 786 all interfaces 787 * WPS ER: 788 - Add special AP Setup Locked mode to allow read only ER. 789 ap_setup_locked=2 can now be used to enable a special mode where 790 WPS ER can learn the current AP settings, but cannot change them. 791 - Show SetSelectedRegistrar events as ctrl_iface events 792 - Add wps_er_set_config to enroll a network based on a local 793 network configuration block instead of having to (re-)learn the 794 current AP settings with wps_er_learn. 795 - Allow AP filtering based on IP address, add ctrl_iface event for 796 learned AP settings, add wps_er_config command to configure an AP. 797 * WPS 2.0: Add support for WPS 2.0 (CONFIG_WPS2) 798 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_EXTENSIBILITY_TESTING to enable tool 799 for testing protocol extensibility. 800 - Add build option CONFIG_WPS_STRICT to allow disabling of WPS 801 workarounds. 802 - Add support for AuthorizedMACs attribute. 803 * TDLS: 804 - Propogate TDLS related nl80211 capability flags from kernel and 805 add them as driver capability flags. If the driver doesn't support 806 capabilities, assume TDLS is supported internally. When TDLS is 807 explicitly not supported, disable all user facing TDLS operations. 808 - Allow TDLS to be disabled at runtime (mostly for testing). 809 Use set tdls_disabled. 810 - Honor AP TDLS settings that prohibit/allow TDLS. 811 - Add a special testing feature for changing TDLS behavior. Use 812 CONFIG_TDLS_TESTING build param to enable. Configure at runtime 813 with tdls_testing cli command. 814 - Add support for TDLS 802.11z. 815 * wlantest: Add a tool wlantest for IEEE802.11 protocol testing. 816 wlantest can be used to capture frames from a monitor interface 817 for realtime capturing or from pcap files for offline analysis. 818 * Interworking: Support added for 802.11u. Enable in .config with 819 CONFIG_INTERWORKING. See wpa_supplicant.conf for config parameters 820 for interworking. wpa_cli commands added to support this are 821 interworking_select, interworking_connect, anqp_get, fetch_anqp, 822 and stop_fetch_anqp. 823 * Android: Add build and runtime support for Android wpa_supplicant. 824 * bgscan learn: Add new bgscan that learns BSS information based on 825 previous scans, and uses that information to dynamically generate 826 the list of channels for background scans. 827 * Add a new debug message level for excessive information. Use 828 -ddd to enable. 829 * TLS: Add support for tls_disable_time_checks=1 in client mode. 830 * Internal TLS: 831 - Add support for TLS v1.1 (RFC 4346).

may potentially breaks 857 compatibility with older wpa_supplicant/hostapd versions) 858 * wpa_cli: added option for using a separate process to receive event 859 messages to reduce latency in showing these 860 (CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_WPA_CLI_FORK=y in .config to enable this) 861 * maximum BSS table size can now be configured (bss_max_count) 862 * BSSes to be included in the BSS table can be filtered based on 863 configured SSIDs to save memory (filter_ssids) 864 * fix number of issues with IEEE 802.11r/FT; this version is not 865 backwards compatible with old versions 866 * nl80211: add support for IEEE 802.11r/FT protocol (both over-the-air 867 and over-the-DS) 868 * add freq_list network configuration parameter to allow the AP 869 selection to filter out entries based on the operating channel 870 * add signal strength change events for bgscan; this allows more 871 dynamic changes to background scanning interval based on changes in 872 the signal strength with the current AP; this improves roaming within 873 ESS quite a bit, e.g., with bgscan="simple:30:-45:300" in the network 874 configuration block to request background scans less frequently when 875 signal strength remains good and to automatically trigger background 876 scans whenever signal strength drops noticeably 877 (this is currently only available with nl80211) 878 * add BSSID and reason code (if available) to disconnect event messages 879 * wpa_gui-qt4: more complete support for translating the GUI with 880 linguist and add German translation 881 * fix DH padding with internal crypto code (mainly, for WPS) 882 * do not trigger initial scan automatically anymore if there are no 883 enabled networks 884 8852010-01-16 - v0.7.1 886 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API 887 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers 888 will need modifications 889 * cleaned up various module interfaces 890 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a 891 single document 892 * nl80211: use explicit deauthentication to clear cfg80211 state to 893 avoid issues when roaming between APs 894 * dbus: major design changes in the new D-Bus API 895 (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1) 896 * nl80211: added support for IBSS networks 897 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory 898 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y) 899 * added WPS ER unsubscription command to more cleanly unregister from 900 receiving UPnP events when ER is terminated 901 * cleaned up AP mode operations to avoid need for virtual driver_ops 902 wrapper 903 * added BSS table to maintain more complete scan result information 904 over multiple scans (that may include only partial results) 905 * wpa_gui-qt4: update Peers dialog information more dynamically while 906 the dialog is kept open 907 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0 908 * driver_wext: Added cfg80211-specific optimization to avoid some 909 unnecessary scans and to speed up association 910 9112009-11-21 - v0.7.0 912 * increased wpa_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this 913 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>) 914 * fixed scan buffer processing with WEXT to handle up to 65535 915 byte result buffer (previously, limited to 32768 bytes) 916 * allow multiple driver wrappers to be specified on command line 917 (e.g., -Dnl80211,wext); the first one that is able to initialize the 918 interface will be used 919 * added support for multiple SSIDs per scan request to optimize 920 scan_ssid=1 operations in ap_scan=1 mode (i.e., search for hidden 921 SSIDs); this requires driver support and can currently be used only 922 with nl80211 923 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash 924 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y) 925 * driver_ndis: add PAE group address to the multicast address list to 926 fix wired IEEE 802.1X authentication 927 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard 928 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303] 929 * added better support for drivers that allow separate authentication 930 and association commands (e.g., mac80211-based Linux drivers with 931 nl80211; SME in wpa_supplicant); this allows over-the-air FT protocol 932 to be used (IEEE 802.11r) 933 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the 934 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w) 935 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307] 936 * use shared driver wrapper files with hostapd 937 * added AP mode functionality (CONFIG_AP=y) with mode=2 in the network 938 block; this can be used for open and WPA2-Personal networks 939 (optionally, with WPS); this links in parts of hostapd functionality 940 into wpa_supplicant 941 * wpa_gui-qt4: added new Peers dialog to show information about peers 942 (other devices, including APs and stations, etc. in the neighborhood) 943 * added support for WPS External Registrar functionality (configure APs 944 and enroll new devices); can be used with wpa_gui-qt4 Peers dialog 945 and wpa_cli commands wps_er_start, wps_er_stop, wps_er_pin, 946 wps_er_pbc, wps_er_learn 947 (this can also be used with a new 'none' driver wrapper if no 948 wireless device or IEEE 802.1X on wired is needed) 949 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux 950 nl80211/mac80211 functionality 951 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009 952 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to 953 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations 954 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS 955 * driver_ndis: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with PAE group 956 address frames 957 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing 958 * added support for specifying subset of enabled frequencies to scan 959 (scan_freq option in the network configuration block); this can speed 960 up scanning process considerably if it is known that only a small 961 subset of channels is actually used in the network (this is currently 962 supported only with -Dnl80211) 963 * added a workaround for race condition between receiving the 964 association event and the following EAPOL-Key 965 * added background scan and roaming infrastructure to allow 966 network-specific optimizations to be used to improve roaming within 967 an ESS (same SSID) 968 * added new DBus interface (fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1) 969 9702009-01-06 - v0.6.7 971 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 972 (wpa_supplicant can now be configured to act as a WPS Enrollee to 973 enroll credentials for a network using PIN and PBC methods; in 974 addition, wpa_supplicant can act as a wireless WPS Registrar to 975 configure an AP); WPS support can be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y 976 into .config and setting the runtime configuration variables in 977 wpa_supplicant.conf (see WPS section in the example configuration 978 file); new wpa_cli commands wps_pin, wps_pbc, and wps_reg are used to 979 manage WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for more details 980 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf) 981 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket 982 * fixed PEAPv0 Cryptobinding interoperability issue with Windows Server 983 2008 NPS; optional cryptobinding is now enabled (again) by default 984 * fixed PSK editing in wpa_gui 985 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51 986 * added a Windows installer that includes WinPcap and all the needed 987 DLLs; in addition, it set up the registry automatically so that user 988 will only need start wpa_gui to get prompted to start the wpasvc 989 servide and add a new interface if needed through wpa_gui dialog 990 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0 991 9922008-11-23 - v0.6.6 993 * added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA 994 (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key; 995 enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config 996 and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration) 997 * added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be 998 used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks 999 against TKIP deficiencies 1000 * added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against 1001 TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time 1002 between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option 1003 CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config 1004 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits, 1005 not bytes 1006 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the 1007 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream 1008 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is 1009 needed with that version anymore) 1010 * updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux 1011 mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used 1012 with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed) 1013 * added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in 1014 consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch' 1015 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate 1016 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know 1017 about 1018 10192008-11-01 - v0.6.5 1020 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the 1021 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation 1022 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0 1023 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2 1024 (IEEE 802.11w) 1025 * fixed FT (IEEE 802.11r) authentication after a failed association to 1026 use correct FTIE 1027 * added support for configuring Phase 2 (inner/tunneled) authentication 1028 method with wpa_gui-qt4 1029 10302008-08-10 - v0.6.4 1031 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2 1032 * added support for using TNC with EAP-FAST 1033 * added driver_ps3 for the PS3 Linux wireless driver 1034 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0 1035 * fixed the OpenSSL patches (0.9.8g and 0.9.9) for EAP-FAST to 1036 allow fallback to full handshake if server rejects PAC-Opaque 1037 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC 1038 * added support for parsing PKCS #8 formatted private keys into the 1039 internal TLS implementation (both PKCS #1 RSA key and PKCS #8 1040 encapsulated RSA key can now be used) 1041 * added option of using faster, but larger, routines in the internal 1042 LibTomMath (for internal TLS implementation) to speed up DH and RSA 1043 calculations (CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH_FAST=y) 1044 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key 1045 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261] 1046 * fixed opportunistic key caching (proactive_key_caching) 1047 10482008-02-22 - v0.6.3 1049 * removed 'nai' and 'eappsk' network configuration variables that were 1050 previously used for configuring user identity and key for EAP-PSK, 1051 EAP-PAX, EAP-SAKE, and EAP-GPSK. 'identity' field is now used as the 1052 replacement for 'nai' (if old configuration used a separate 1053 'identity' value, that would now be configured as 1054 'anonymous_identity'). 'password' field is now used as the 1055 replacement for 'eappsk' (it can also be set using hexstring to 1056 present random binary data) 1057 * removed '-w' command line parameter (wait for interface to be added, 1058 if needed); cleaner way of handling this functionality is to use an 1059 external mechanism (e.g., hotplug scripts) that start wpa_supplicant 1060 when an interface is added 1061 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0 1062 * added ctrl_iface monitor event (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) for 1063 indicating when new scan results become available 1064 * added new ctrl_iface command, BSS, to allow scan results to be 1065 fetched without hitting the message size limits (this command 1066 can be used to iterate through the scan results one BSS at the time) 1067 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION 1068 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication 1069 * fixed EAPOL not to end up in infinite loop when processing dynamic 1070 WEP keys with IEEE 802.1X 1071 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000 1072 10732008-01-01 - v0.6.2 1074 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file 1075 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line) 1076 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute 1077 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages 1078 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf); 1079 this does not affect wpa_supplicant usage, but many of the APIs 1080 changed and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old 1081 versions 1082 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with 1083 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187) 1084 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for 1085 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (phase1="result_ind=1") 1086 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and 1087 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all 1088 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now 1089 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports 1090 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps, 1091 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in 1092 loop where the driver did not even try to associate 1093 * stop EAPOL timer tick when no timers are in use in order to reduce 1094 power consumption (no need to wake up the process once per second) 1095 [Bug 237] 1096 * added support for privilege separation (run only minimal part of 1097 wpa_supplicant functionality as root and rest as unprivileged, 1098 non-root process); see 'Privilege separation' in README for details; 1099 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with CONFIG_PRIVSEP=y 1100 in .config 1101 * changed scan results data structure to include all information 1102 elements to make it easier to support new IEs; old get_scan_result() 1103 driver_ops is still supported for backwards compatibility (results 1104 are converted internally to the new format), but all drivers should 1105 start using the new get_scan_results2() to make them more likely to 1106 work with new features 1107 * Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory) is now native Qt4 1108 application, i.e., it does not require Qt3Support anymore; Windows 1109 binary of wpa_gui.exe is now from this directory and only requires 1110 QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll libraries 1111 * updated Windows binary build to use Qt 4.3.3 and made Qt DLLs 1112 available as a separate package to make wpa_gui installation easier: 1113 http://w1.fi/wpa_supplicant/qt4/wpa_gui-qt433-windows-dll.zip 1114 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt); 1115 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version 1116 11172007-11-24 - v0.6.1 1118 * added support for configuring password as NtPasswordHash 1119 (16-byte MD4 hash of password) in hash:<32 hex digits> format 1120 * added support for fallback from abbreviated TLS handshake to 1121 full handshake when using EAP-FAST (e.g., due to an expired 1122 PAC-Opaque) 1123 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest 1124 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt) 1125 * added support for drivers that take care of RSN 4-way handshake 1126 internally (WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_4WAY_HANDSHAKE in get_capa flags and 1127 WPA_ALG_PMK in set_key) 1128 * added an experimental port for Mac OS X (CONFIG_DRIVER_OSX=y in 1129 .config); this version supports only ap_scan=2 mode and allow the 1130 driver to take care of the 4-way handshake 1131 * fixed a buffer overflow in parsing TSF from scan results when using 1132 driver_wext.c with a driver that includes the TSF (e.g., iwl4965) 1133 [Bug 232] 1134 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0 1135 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the 1136 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential 1137 buffer read overflow 1138 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface 1139 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to 1140 be lost 1141 * added support for processing TNCC-TNCS-Messages to report 1142 recommendation (allow/none/isolate) when using TNC [Bug 243] 1143 11442007-05-28 - v0.6.0 1145 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting 1146 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks 1147 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support 1148 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48 1149 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47 1150 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation 1151 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field 1152 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in 1153 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer 1154 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be 1155 different) 1156 * added support for fragmentation of outer TLS packets during Phase 2 1157 of EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST 1158 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths 1159 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that 1160 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported 1161 for PAC provisioning) 1162 * added support for authenticated EAP-FAST provisioning 1163 * added support for configuring maximum number of EAP-FAST PACs to 1164 store in a PAC list (fast_max_pac_list_len=<max> in phase1 string) 1165 * added support for storing EAP-FAST PACs in binary format 1166 (fast_pac_format=binary in phase1 string) 1167 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before 1168 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190] 1169 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label 1170 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and 1171 added support for EAP-FAST 1172 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest 1173 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt) 1174 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be 1175 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent 1176 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection 1177 (still experimental) 1178 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory 1179 if TLS library initialization fails 1180 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect) 1181 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS changes 1182 needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMC and 1183 IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCC) 1184 11852006-11-24 - v0.5.6 1186 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the 1187 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by 1188 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in 1189 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not 1190 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required 1191 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on 1192 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some 1193 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB) 1194 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in 1195 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey 1196 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest 1197 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt) 1198 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management 1199 frame protection) 1200 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.) 1201 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.) 1202 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for 1203 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it 1204 immediately without sending a command 1205 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not 1206 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not 1207 use PIN) 1208 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to 1209 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on 1210 partial AID 1211 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication 1212 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g., 1213 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com") 1214 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only 1215 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys) 1216 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not 1217 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*" 1218 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the 1219 parameter is not exposed 1220 12212006-08-27 - v0.5.5 1222 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined 1223 (wide-char functions) 1224 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition 1225 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP 1226 keys 1227 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to 1228 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165] 1229 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files 1230 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly) 1231 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to 1232 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients 1233 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0 1234 when determining whether there are pending messages 1235 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets: 1236 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default 1237 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to 1238 localhost was used) 1239 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets: 1240 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in 1241 future versions) 1242 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface 1243 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel 1244 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the 1245 case when group is not changed 1246 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in 1247 Windows version 1248 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address 1249 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for 1250 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the 1251 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is 1252 used even if the source address does not match with it 1253 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580) 1254 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in 1255 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged 1256 addresses from being accepted as local control requests 1257 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external 1258 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and 1259 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this 1260 implementation 1261 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to 1262 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this 1263 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized 1264 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500 1265 USB) [Bug 113] 1266 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously, 1267 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first 1268 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0') 1269 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in 1270 registry (ctrl_interface string value in 1271 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is 1272 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded 1273 to be enabled) 1274 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4 1275 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format 1276 12772006-06-20 - v0.5.4 1278 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143] 1279 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame 1280 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11 1281 stack (wireless-dev.git tree) 1282 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to 1283 configure the maximum EAP fragment size 1284 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to 1285 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC 1286 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant 1287 is terminated 1288 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation 1289 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS 1290 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do 1291 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete; 1292 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet 1293 included) 1294 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e 1295 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake 1296 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old 1297 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as 1298 a raw PSK (hex string) 1299 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block 1300 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on 1301 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental 1302 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is 1303 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned 1304 automatically for the network and that can be used with 1305 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands) 1306 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect 1307 status changes or when associating with a different network 1308 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list 1309 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case) 1310 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due 1311 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155] 1312 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK, 1313 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt) 1314 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for 1315 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory) 1316 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events 1317 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet 1318 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of 1319 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid 1320 handle 1321 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID 1322 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts: 1323 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory 1324 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for 1325 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new 1326 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build 1327 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO 1328 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows 1329 only one application to open the device 1330 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g., 1331 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap 1332 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still 1333 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore 1334 when specifying the interface 1335 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed 1336 and re-inserted [Bug 159] 1337 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on 1338 big endian hosts [Bug 146] 1339 13402006-04-27 - v0.5.3 1341 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as 1342 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2) 1343 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted 1344 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom, 1345 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106] 1346 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is 1347 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers 1348 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode 1349 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured 1350 in Windows registry 1351 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into 1352 Windows registry 1353 * added support for controlling network device operational state 1354 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see 1355 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client 1356 that can use this information) 1357 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration 1358 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode 1359 [Bug 140] 1360 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request 1361 primitive 1362 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so 1363 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK) 1364 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead 1365 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by 1366 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information 1367 on how to use this) 1368 13692006-03-19 - v0.5.2 1370 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card 1371 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA 1372 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in 1373 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types) 1374 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak 1375 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when 1376 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association 1377 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver) 1378 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge 1379 interface (-bbr0 on command line) 1380 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching 1381 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods 1382 instead of a static list generated at build time 1383 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when 1384 removing PMKSA entries 1385 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication 1386 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid 1387 WPA/RSN IE 1388 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg 1389 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH 1390 13912006-01-29 - v0.5.1 1392 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using 1393 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in 1394 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test) 1395 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods) 1396 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration 1397 option can be changed if needed 1398 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when 1399 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect 1400 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though 1401 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not 1402 recommended) 1403 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not 1404 to disable TLS library for normal authentication 1405 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver 1406 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in 1407 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change 1408 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is 1409 not likely to happen in real use. 1410 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the 1411 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry 1412 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes 1413 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or 1414 ap_scan=2) 1415 14162005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases) 1417 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e 1418 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both 1419 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y 1420 and stakey=1) 1421 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to 1422 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly 1423 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session 1424 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to 1425 other C libraries and compilers 1426 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into 1427 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make 1428 code more portable 1429 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++ 1430 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual 1431 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an 1432 example makefile for nmake 1433 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters 1434 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data 1435 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry 1436 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a 1437 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant, 1438 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service, 1439 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to 1440 unregister a service 1441 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into 1442 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED 1443 * added better support for multiple control interface backends 1444 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported 1445 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer 1446 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not 1447 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll 1448 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and 1449 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows 1450 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using 1451 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting 1452 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with 1453 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config 1454 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config 1455 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap, 1456 winpcap, freebsd, none) 1457 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap 1458 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to 1459 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about 1460 3 ms 1461 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than 1462 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning 1463 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a 1464 configuration blob 1465 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added 1466 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob 1467 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for 1468 session resumption 1469 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows 1470 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is 1471 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates) 1472 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this 1473 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more 1474 easily on cross-compilation builds 1475 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative 1476 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using 1477 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a 1478 Windows service 1479 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and 1480 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary 1481 release since it is not needed anymore 1482 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW 1483 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library 1484 14852005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases) 1486 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap 1487 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address 1488 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used 1489 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages 1490 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to 1491 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point 1492 during handshake 1493 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables 1494 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept 1495 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values 1496 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file 1497 would get 1498 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many 1499 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake) 1500 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file 1501 cannot be parsed successfully 1502 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng 1503 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents 1504 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration 1505 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID 1506 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if 1507 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE 1508 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with 1509 drivers that may take more than five second to associate 1510 15112005-10-27 - v0.4.6 1512 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in 1513 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration 1514 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having 1515 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates); 1516 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to 1517 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert, 1518 private_key 1519 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA 1520 state machine interface in v0.4.5) 1521 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make 1522 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly 1523 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used 1524 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the 1525 system-wide trusted CA list 1526 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration 1527 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for 1528 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide 1529 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a 1530 configuration to override the values from the configuration) 1531 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding 1532 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument 1533 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart 1534 wpa_supplicant process 1535 * wpa_gui: 1536 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified 1537 - added WEP key configuration 1538 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration 1539 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each 1540 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout 1541 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory) 1542 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to 1543 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces 1544 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up 1545 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting 1546 EAP authentication immediately after association 1547 15482005-09-25 - v0.4.5 1549 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow 1550 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one 1551 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to 1552 generate, e.g., man pages 1553 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for 1554 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use 1555 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames) 1556 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication 1557 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success 1558 frame 1559 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link 1560 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this 1561 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier 1562 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than 1563 Ethernet 1564 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be 1565 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including 1566 server_nai configuration option from network blocks 1567 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order 1568 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include 1569 these multicast addresses by default 1570 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19 1571 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND 1572 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used 1573 in wpa_supplicant.conf) 1574 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config'); 1575 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global 1576 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli 1577 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store 1578 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command 1579 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid') 1580 15812005-08-21 - v0.4.4 1582 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support 1583 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct 1584 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the 1585 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order 1586 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support) 1587 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI) 1588 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS) 1589 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure 1590 this with private_key) 1591 * ported wpa_gui to Windows 1592 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be 1593 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows 1594 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used 1595 with drivers that do not support WPA 1596 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support 1597 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all 1598 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and 1599 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>') 1600 * added support for adding and removing network from the current 1601 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network 1602 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can 1603 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done 1604 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so 1605 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted 1606 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through 1607 the control interface, for example: 1608 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\"" 1609 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double 1610 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end") 1611 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer, 1612 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can 1613 be disabled with eap_workaround=0 1614 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for 1615 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be 1616 doing this for PEAPv0, too) 1617 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the 1618 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to 1619 open network configuration) 1620 16212005-06-26 - v0.4.3 1622 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g., 1623 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required 1624 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone 1625 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support 1626 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux 1627 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files 1628 (l2_packet_*.c) 1629 16302005-06-12 - v0.4.2 1631 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4 1632 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with 1633 this) 1634 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks; 1635 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the 1636 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for 1637 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored 1638 and the network block order in the file is used instead 1639 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using 1640 freed memory if pre-authentication times out 1641 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the 1642 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables 1643 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2 1644 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired 1645 NDIS drivers 1646 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the 1647 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the 1648 configuration file 1649 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result 1650 processing 1651 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46 1652 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation 1653 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation 1654 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to 1655 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as 1656 the key in this case 1657 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the 1658 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new 1659 driver_ops function set_param() 1660 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface 1661 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver 1662 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames 1663 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is 1664 entered as a number, not group name 1665 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant 1666 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network 1667 cards 1668 16692005-05-22 - v0.4.1 1670 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL 1671 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed 1672 ioctl order in v0.4.0 1673 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD' 1674 branch of madwifi CVS tree 1675 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP 1676 authentication session 1677 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the 1678 password has expired) 1679 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files 1680 and adding them to the certificate chain 1681 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys 1682 were used 1683 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when 1684 identity or password is entered through control interface 1685 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface 1686 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix 1687 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build 1688 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires 1689 Qt development tools) 1690 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting 1691 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before 1692 'reassociate' command has been used 1693 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured 1694 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all 1695 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any') 1696 * added support for getting scan results through control interface 1697 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer, 1698 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can 1699 be disabled with eap_workaround=0 1700 17012005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases) 1702 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be 1703 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if 1704 debugging code is not needed 1705 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data 1706 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer 1707 overflow 1708 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired 1709 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired' 1710 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be 1711 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit()) 1712 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility, 1713 but they may be removed in the future) 1714 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode 1715 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect 1716 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to 1717 interoperate with some authentication servers 1718 * added support for sending TLS alerts 1719 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or 1720 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP 1721 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g., 1722 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration 1723 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is 1724 delayed until the PIN is available 1725 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for 1726 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config); 1727 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables: 1728 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path 1729 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id 1730 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX 1731 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that 1732 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on 1733 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed 1734 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments: 1735 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new 1736 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a 1737 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing 1738 events 1739 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by 1740 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1) 1741 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where 1742 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not 1743 using assoc_info events 1744 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current 1745 process id into a file 1746 17472005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases) 1748 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force 1749 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages 1750 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some 1751 authentication servers 1752 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when 1753 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using 1754 ap_scan=2) 1755 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for 1756 identity/password/otp 1757 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of 1758 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS 1759 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed 1760 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting 1761 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both 1762 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the 1763 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW 1764 17652005-01-24 - v0.3.6 1766 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing 1767 when no matching AP is found 1768 17692005-01-23 - v0.3.5 1770 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP 1771 when using WPA2-PSK 1772 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as 1773 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow 1774 retransmission of dropped frames) 1775 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version 1776 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames) 1777 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for 1778 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and 1779 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server 1780 requires EAP workarounds 1781 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout 1782 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases 1783 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication 1784 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS 1785 authentication attempt 1786 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded 1787 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was 1788 verified) 1789 17902005-01-09 - v0.3.4 1791 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration 1792 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode 1793 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no 1794 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an 1795 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented 1796 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add 1797 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver 1798 supports WPA-None) 1799 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using 1800 mingw 1801 18022005-01-02 - v0.3.3 1803 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for 1804 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE) 1805 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of 1806 small problems with error case processing not terminating on 1807 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout 1808 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a 1809 Cisco AP when using WPA2 1810 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt); 1811 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS 1812 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without 1813 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is 1814 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch. 1815 18162004-12-19 - v0.3.2 1817 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set 1818 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version 1819 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed 1820 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs 1821 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c, 1822 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once 1823 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching 1824 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP 1825 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt 1826 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events 1827 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is 1828 running) 1829 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys 1830 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name 1831 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis, 1832 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as 1833 the interface name 1834 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration 1835 file 1836 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio 1837 when exiting 1838 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before 1839 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid 1840 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state 1841 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old 1842 information 1843 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to 1844 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates 1845 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate() 1846 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections 1847 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver 1848 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) 1849 authentication 1850 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for 1851 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/ 1852 unicast key) 1853 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2 1854 drivers 1855 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without 1856 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0) 1857 18582004-12-12 - v0.3.1 1859 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for 1860 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12) 1861 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y 1862 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of 1863 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID, 1864 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such 1865 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when 1866 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration 1867 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security 1868 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise, 1869 group, proto variables 1870 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows 1871 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs) 1872 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap 1873 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name 1874 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add 1875 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality 1876 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time; 1877 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back) 1878 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it 1879 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of 1880 the association 1881 18822004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases) 1883 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver 1884 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards) 1885 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument 1886 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS 1887 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was 1888 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to 1889 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1 1890 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled 1891 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding 1892 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf 1893 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled 1894 reply 1895 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to 1896 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1, 1897 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old 1898 label which is thus more suitable default option 1899 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt) 1900 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx 1901 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types 1902 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type 1903 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm 1904 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static 1905 WEP keys) 1906 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM) 1907 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused 1908 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM 1909 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication 1910 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS 1911 session resumption) 1912 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges 1913 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges) 1914 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH 1915 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters 1916 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys 1917 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys 1918 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server 1919 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new 1920 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2 1921 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver 1922 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux 1923 drivers expect this 1924 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA 1925 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM) 1926 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver 1927 * added support for LEAP with WPA 1928 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of 1929 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions 1930 v17 or newer 1931 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start 1932 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP 1933 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails: 1934 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting 1935 forever 1936 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by 1937 default; all key information can be included with -K command line 1938 argument to match the previous behavior 1939 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by 1940 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument) 1941 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104 1942 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode 1943 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy 1944 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper) 1945 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last 1946 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key 1947 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering 1948 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after 1949 association 1950 * changed driver interface API: 1951 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which 1952 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was 1953 not defined) 1954 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls 1955 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver 1956 interfaces has been converted to the new API 1957 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per 1958 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the 1959 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator 1960 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi) 1961 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for 1962 sequential EAP packets 1963 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable, 1964 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification 1965 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4: 1966 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one; 1967 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or 1968 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant 1969 configuration 1970 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other 1971 IEs than just one WPA IE 1972 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211 1973 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the 1974 required kernel mods have not yet been committed 1975 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be 1976 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0 1977 19782004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases) 1979 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and 1980 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly 1981 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the 1982 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero 1983 for the broadcast key 1984 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and 1985 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using 1986 WPA 1987 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard, 1988 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions; 1989 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but 1990 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once 1991 Linux wireless extensions get support for this 1992 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP 1993 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be 1994 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; 1995 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to 1996 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver 1997 supporting wireless extensions. 1998 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g., 1999 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames) 2000 * added support for new EAP authentication methods: 2001 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP 2002 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g., 2003 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command, 2004 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for 2005 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a 2006 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC 2007 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it 2008 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and 2009 started again 2010 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through 2011 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new 2012 information so that full authentication does not need to be 2013 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new 2014 frontend is attached 2015 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to 2016 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces 2017 and to provide access control for the control interface; 2018 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path 2019 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and 2020 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to 2021 the control interface; 2022 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available 2023 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option 2024 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common 2025 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments) 2026 * added support for LEAP 2027 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper 2028 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file; 2029 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan 2030 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order) 2031 20322004-06-20 - v0.2.3 2033 * sort scan results to improve AP selection 2034 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases 2035 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout 2036 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and 2037 TLS processing 2038 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>" 2039 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by 2040 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected 2041 automatically) 2042 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x) 2043 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for 2044 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this, 2045 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames 2046 from the station) 2047 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for 2048 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite 2049 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver 2050 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator 2051 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of 2052 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key) 2053 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks 2054 (key_mgmt=NONE) 2055 20562004-05-31 - v0.2.2 2057 * added support for new EAP authentication methods: 2058 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge 2059 EAP-TTLS/EAP-GTC 2060 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2 2061 EAP-TTLS/EAP-TLS 2062 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAPv2 2063 EAP-TTLS/MSCHAP 2064 EAP-TTLS/PAP 2065 EAP-TTLS/CHAP 2066 EAP-PEAP/TLS 2067 EAP-PEAP/GTC 2068 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge 2069 EAP-GTC 2070 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface) 2071 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is 2072 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected 2073 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS) 2074 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli 2075 * added support for requesting identity and password information using 2076 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or 2077 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since 2078 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user 2079 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process 2080 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan 2081 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing 2082 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used 2083 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation 2084 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant 2085 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with 2086 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed 2087 anyway for TLS) 2088 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support 2089 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config) 2090 20912004-05-06 - v0.2.1 2092 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1) 2093 Supplicant 2094 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1] 2095 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf] 2096 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS) 2097 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt] 2098 - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716] 2099 - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP) 2100 - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt] 2101 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt] 2102 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by 2103 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey) 2104 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert, 2105 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd 2106 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by 2107 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line 2108 option 2109 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to 2110 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality) 2111 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries 2112 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..) 2113 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys 2114 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X 2115 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes) 2116 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) 2117 - improved PTK Key Handshake 2118 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication 2119 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA 2120 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using 2121 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP 2122 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key) 2123 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control 2124 wpa_supplicant 2125 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line 2126 mode 2127 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface 2128 * made some feature compile time configurable 2129 - .config file for make 2130 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..) 2131 - EAPOL/EAP functions 2132 21332004-02-15 - v0.2.0 2134 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant 2135
