1 ChangeLog for wpa_supplicant
4 * fixed race condition between disassociation event and group key
5 handshake to avoid getting stuck in incorrect state [Bug 261]
6 * updated D-Bus usage to avoid deprecated functions
7 * silence SIOCSIWAUTH ioctl failure message (these can be ignored in
8 most cases and are now only shown in debug output)
9 * increase timeout for IBSS connection
10 * driver_wext: do not overwrite BSS frequency if channel was already
12 * driver_wext: set interface down for mode switches, if needed (e.g.,
14 * driver_wext: fixed re-initialization of a removed and re-inserted
15 interface (e.g., USB dongle or on resume if driver was unloaded for
17 * improve per-SSID scanning for drivers that report background scan
19 * fixed scanning behavior after a failed initial association
20 * driver_wext: fixed processing of invalid event messages from kernel
21 not to crash wpa_supplicant (this could happen when using 64-bit
22 kernel with 32-bit userspace)
23 * fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
25 * fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
26 RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
30 * added support for Makefile builds to include debug-log-to-a-file
31 functionality (CONFIG_DEBUG_FILE=y and -f<path> on command line)
32 * added network configuration parameter 'frequency' for setting
33 initial channel for IBSS (adhoc) networks
34 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
35 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
36 * added driver_wext workaround for race condition between scanning and
37 association with drivers that take very long time to scan all
38 channels (e.g., madwifi with dual-band cards); wpa_supplicant is now
39 using a longer hardcoded timeout for the scan if the driver supports
40 notifications for scan completion (SIOCGIWSCAN event); this helps,
41 e.g., in cases where wpa_supplicant and madwifi driver ended up in
42 loop where the driver did not even try to associate
43 * fixed EAP-SIM not to include AT_NONCE_MT and AT_SELECTED_VERSION
44 attributes in EAP-SIM Start/Response when using fast reauthentication
45 * fixed problems in getting NDIS events from WMI on Windows 2000
48 * fixed an integer overflow issue in the ASN.1 parser used by the
49 (experimental) internal TLS implementation to avoid a potential
51 * fixed a race condition with -W option (wait for a control interface
52 monitor before starting) that could have caused the first messages to
54 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
55 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
56 * added ctrl_iface RECONNECT (wpa_cli reconnect) command
57 (like reassociate, but only takes effect if already associated)
58 * fixed a possible race condition between wpa_cli reassociate and
60 * return a non-zero exit code from non-interactive wpa_cli if the
61 command is not recognized or fails
62 * fixed 0.5.8 regressions in BSS selection that prevented wildcard SSID
63 from being used with non-WPA networks and disabled workaround for
64 ignoring bogus WPA/RSN IE in non-WPA configuration
65 * fixed OpenSSL TLS wrapper to clear trusted CA list to allow
66 network blocks to use different trusted CA configurations
67 * fixed a potential EAP state machine loop when mloving from PSK to EAP
68 configuration without restarting wpa_supplicant
71 * updated driver_wext.c to build with the current wireless-dev.git tree
72 and net/d80211 changes
73 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
74 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-03.txt)
75 * fixed 'make install'
76 * fixed EAP-TTLS implementation not to crash on use of freed memory
77 if TLS library initialization fails
78 * fixed EAP-AKA Notification processing to allow Notification to be
79 processed after AKA Challenge response has been sent
82 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
83 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
84 * fixed EAP-PAX key derivation
85 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
86 * fixed EAP-PEAP/TTLS/FAST to use the correct EAP identifier in
87 tunnelled identity request (previously, the identifier from the outer
88 method was used, not the tunnelled identifier which could be
90 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
91 * added support for EAP-FAST authentication with inner methods that
92 generate MSK (e.g., EAP-MSCHAPv2 that was previously only supported
94 * fixed dbus ctrl_iface to validate message interface before
95 dispatching to avoid a possible segfault [Bug 190]
96 * fixed PeerKey key derivation to use the correct PRF label
97 * updated Windows binary build to link against OpenSSL 0.9.8d and
98 added support for EAP-FAST
101 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 client implementation with the
102 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
103 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
104 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
105 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
106 (total size of this internal TLS/crypto code is bit under 50 kB on
107 x86 and the crypto code is shared by rest of the supplicant so some
108 of it was already required; TLSv1/X.509/ASN.1/RSA added about 25 kB)
109 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
110 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
111 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
112 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
113 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
115 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
116 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
117 * fixed Windows named pipes ctrl_iface to not stop listening for
118 commands if client program opens a named pipe and closes it
119 immediately without sending a command
120 * fixed USIM PIN status determination for the case that PIN is not
121 needed (this allows EAP-AKA to be used with USIM cards that do not
123 * added support for reading 3G USIM AID from EF_DIR to allow EAP-AKA to
124 be used with cards that do not support file selection based on
126 * added support for matching the subjectAltName of the authentication
127 server certificate against multiple name components (e.g.,
128 altsubject_match="DNS:server.example.com;DNS:server2.example.com")
129 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA key derivation for re-authentication case (only
130 affects IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP keys)
131 * changed ctrl_iface network configuration 'get' operations to not
132 return password/key material; if these fields are requested, "*"
133 will be returned if the password/key is set, but the value of the
134 parameter is not exposed
137 * added support for building Windows version with UNICODE defined
138 (wide-char functions)
139 * driver_ndis: fixed static WEP configuration to avoid race condition
140 issues with some NDIS drivers between association and setting WEP
142 * driver_ndis: added validation for IELength value in scan results to
143 avoid crashes when using buggy NDIS drivers [Bug 165]
144 * fixed Release|Win32 target in the Visual Studio project files
145 (previously, only Debug|Win32 target was set properly)
146 * changed control interface API call wpa_ctrl_pending() to allow it to
147 return -1 on error (e.g., connection lost); control interface clients
148 will need to make sure that they verify that the value is indeed >0
149 when determining whether there are pending messages
150 * added an alternative control interface backend for Windows targets:
151 Named Pipe (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=named_pipe); this is now the default
152 control interface mechanism for Windows builds (previously, UDP to
154 * changed ctrl_interface configuration for UNIX domain sockets:
155 - deprecated ctrl_interface_group variable (it may be removed in
157 - allow both directory and group be configured with ctrl_interface
158 in following format: DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
159 - ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant is still supported for the
160 case when group is not changed
161 * added support for controlling more than one interface per process in
163 * added a workaround for a case where the AP is using unknown address
164 (e.g., MAC address of the wired interface) as the source address for
165 EAPOL-Key frames; previously, that source address was used as the
166 destination for EAPOL-Key frames and in key derivation; now, BSSID is
167 used even if the source address does not match with it
168 (this resolves an interoperability issue with Thomson SpeedTouch 580)
169 * added a workaround for UDP-based control interface (which was used in
170 Windows builds before this release) to prevent packets with forged
171 addresses from being accepted as local control requests
172 * removed ndis_events.cpp and possibility of using external
173 ndis_events.exe; C version (ndis_events.c) is fully functional and
174 there is no desire to maintain two separate versions of this
176 * ndis_events: Changed NDIS event notification design to use WMI to
177 learn the adapter description through Win32_PnPEntity class; this
178 should fix some cases where the adapter name was not recognized
179 correctly (e.g., with some USB WLAN adapters, e.g., Ralink RT2500
181 * fixed selection of the first network in ap_scan=2 mode; previously,
182 wpa_supplicant could get stuck in SCANNING state when only the first
183 network for enabled (e.g., after 'wpa_cli select_network 0')
184 * winsvc: added support for configuring ctrl_interface parameters in
185 registry (ctrl_interface string value in
186 HKLM\SOFTWARE\wpa_supplicant\interfaces\0000 key); this new value is
187 required to enable control interface (previously, this was hardcoded
189 * allow wpa_gui subdirectory to be built with both Qt3 and Qt4
190 * converted wpa_gui-qt4 subdirectory to use Qt4 specific project format
193 * fixed build with CONFIG_STAKEY=y [Bug 143]
194 * added support for doing MLME (IEEE 802.11 management frame
195 processing) in wpa_supplicant when using Devicescape IEEE 802.11
196 stack (wireless-dev.git tree)
197 * added a new network block configuration option, fragment_size, to
198 configure the maximum EAP fragment size
199 * driver_ndis: Disable WZC automatically for the selected interface to
200 avoid conflicts with two programs trying to control the radio; WZC
201 will be re-enabled (if it was enabled originally) when wpa_supplicant
203 * added an experimental TLSv1 client implementation
204 (CONFIG_TLS=internal) that can be used instead of an external TLS
205 library, e.g., to reduce total size requirement on systems that do
206 not include any TLS library by default (this is not yet complete;
207 basic functionality is there, but certificate validation is not yet
209 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
210 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
211 * fixed WPA PSK update through ctrl_iface for the case where the old
212 PSK was derived from an ASCII passphrase and the new PSK is set as
213 a raw PSK (hex string)
214 * added new configuration option for identifying which network block
215 was used (id_str in wpa_supplicant.conf; included on
216 WPA_EVENT_CONNECT monitor event and as WPA_ID_STR environmental
217 variable in wpa_cli action scripts; in addition WPA_ID variable is
218 set to the current unique identifier that wpa_supplicant assigned
219 automatically for the network and that can be used with
220 GET_NETWORK/SET_NETWORK ctrl_iface commands)
221 * wpa_cli action script is now called only when the connect/disconnect
222 status changes or when associating with a different network
223 * fixed configuration parser not to remove CCMP from group cipher list
224 if WPA-None (adhoc) is used (pairwise=NONE in that case)
225 * fixed integrated NDIS events processing not to hang the process due
226 to a missed change in eloop_win.c API in v0.5.3 [Bug 155]
227 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
228 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
229 * added Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 solution and project files for
230 build wpa_supplicant for Windows (see vs2005 subdirectory)
231 * eloop_win: fixed unregistration of Windows events
232 * l2_packet_winpcap: fixed a deadlock in deinitializing l2_packet
233 at the end of RSN pre-authentication and added unregistration of
234 a Windows event to avoid getting eloop_win stuck with an invalid
236 * driver_ndis: added support for selecting AP based on BSSID
237 * added new environmental variable for wpa_cli action scripts:
238 WPA_CTRL_DIR is the current control interface directory
239 * driver_ndis: added support for using NDISUIO instead of WinPcap for
240 OID set/query operations (CONFIG_USE_NDISUIO=y in .config); with new
241 l2_packet_ndis (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=ndis), this can be used to build
242 wpa_supplicant without requiring WinPcap; note that using NDISUIO
243 requires that WZC is disabled (net stop wzcsvc) since NDISUIO allows
244 only one application to open the device
245 * changed NDIS driver naming to only include device GUID, e.g.,
246 {7EE3EFE5-C165-472F-986D-F6FBEDFE8C8D}, instead of including WinPcap
247 specific \Device\NPF_ prefix before the GUID; the prefix is still
248 allowed for backwards compatibility, but it is not required anymore
249 when specifying the interface
250 * driver_ndis: re-initialize driver interface is the adapter is removed
251 and re-inserted [Bug 159]
252 * driver_madwifi: fixed TKIP and CCMP sequence number configuration on
253 big endian hosts [Bug 146]
256 * fixed EAP-GTC response to include correct user identity when run as
257 phase 2 method of EAP-FAST (i.e., EAP-FAST did not work in v0.5.2)
258 * driver_ndis: Fixed encryption mode configuration for unencrypted
259 networks (some NDIS drivers ignored this, but others, e.g., Broadcom,
260 refused to associate with open networks) [Bug 106]
261 * driver_ndis: use BSSID OID polling to detect when IBSS network is
262 formed even when ndis_events code is included since some NDIS drivers
263 do not generate media connect events in IBSS mode
264 * config_winreg: allow global ctrl_interface parameter to be configured
266 * config_winreg: added support for saving configuration data into
268 * added support for controlling network device operational state
269 (dormant/up) for Linux 2.6.17 to improve DHCP processing (see
270 http://www.flamewarmaster.de/software/dhcpclient/ for a DHCP client
271 that can use this information)
272 * driver_wext: added support for WE-21 change to SSID configuration
273 * driver_wext: fixed privacy configuration for static WEP keys mode
275 * added an optional driver_ops callback for MLME-SETPROTECTION.request
277 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
278 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
279 * added support for dynamically loading EAP methods (.so files) instead
280 of requiring them to be statically linked in; this is disabled by
281 default (see CONFIG_DYNAMIC_EAP_METHODS in defconfig for information
285 * do not try to use USIM APDUs when initializing PC/SC for SIM card
286 access for a network that has not enabled EAP-AKA
287 * fixed EAP phase 2 Nak for EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST} (this was broken in
288 v0.5.1 due to the new support for expanded EAP types)
289 * added support for generating EAP Expanded Nak
290 * try to fetch scan results once before requesting new scan when
291 starting up in ap_scan=1 mode (this can speed up initial association
292 a lot with, e.g., madwifi-ng driver)
293 * added support for receiving EAPOL frames from a Linux bridge
294 interface (-bbr0 on command line)
295 * fixed EAPOL re-authentication for sessions that used PMKSA caching
296 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
297 instead of a static list generated at build time
298 * fixed PMKSA cache deinitialization not to use freed memory when
299 removing PMKSA entries
300 * fixed a memory leak in EAP-TTLS re-authentication
301 * reject WPA/WPA2 message 3/4 if it does not include any valid
303 * driver_wext: added fallback to use SIOCSIWENCODE for setting auth_alg
304 if the driver does not support SIOCSIWAUTH
307 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
308 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
309 the name (driver_param=test_dir=/tmp/test)
310 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
311 * added AP_SCAN command into ctrl_iface so that ap_scan configuration
312 option can be changed if needed
313 * wpa_cli/wpa_gui: skip non-socket files in control directory when
314 using UNIX domain sockets; this avoids selecting an incorrect
315 interface (e.g., a PID file could be in this directory, even though
316 use of this directory for something else than socket files is not
318 * fixed TLS library deinitialization after RSN pre-authentication not
319 to disable TLS library for normal authentication
320 * driver_wext: Remove null-termination from SSID length if the driver
321 used it; some Linux drivers do this and they were causing problems in
322 wpa_supplicant not finding matching configuration block. This change
323 would break a case where the SSID actually ends in '\0', but that is
324 not likely to happen in real use.
325 * fixed PMKSA cache processing not to trigger deauthentication if the
326 current PMKSA cache entry is replaced with a valid new entry
327 * fixed PC/SC initialization for ap_scan != 1 modes (this fixes
328 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA with real SIM/USIM card when using ap_scan=0 or
331 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
332 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
333 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
334 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
336 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA pseudonym and fast re-authentication to
337 decrypt AT_ENCR_DATA attributes correctly
338 * fixed EAP-AKA to allow resynchronization within the same session
339 * made code closer to ANSI C89 standard to make it easier to port to
340 other C libraries and compilers
341 * started moving operating system or C library specific functions into
342 wrapper functions defined in os.h and implemented in os_*.c to make
344 * wpa_supplicant can now be built with Microsoft Visual C++
345 (e.g., with the freely available Toolkit 2003 version or Visual
346 C++ 2005 Express Edition and Platform SDK); see nmake.mak for an
347 example makefile for nmake
348 * added support for using Windows registry for command line parameters
349 (CONFIG_MAIN=main_winsvc) and configuration data
350 (CONFIG_BACKEND=winreg); see win_example.reg for an example registry
351 contents; this version can be run both as a Windows service and as a
352 normal application; 'wpasvc.exe app' to start as applicant,
353 'wpasvc.exe reg <full path to wpasvc.exe>' to register a service,
354 'net start wpasvc' to start the service, 'wpasvc.exe unreg' to
356 * made it possible to link ndis_events.exe functionality into
357 wpa_supplicant.exe by defining CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED
358 * added better support for multiple control interface backends
359 (CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE option); currently, 'unix' and 'udp' are supported
360 * fixed PC/SC code to use correct length for GSM AUTH command buffer
361 and to not use pioRecvPci with SCardTransmit() calls; these were not
362 causing visible problems with pcsc-lite, but Windows Winscard.dll
363 refused the previously used parameters; this fixes EAP-SIM and
364 EAP-AKA authentication using SIM/USIM card under Windows
365 * added new event loop implementation for Windows using
366 WaitForMultipleObject() instead of select() in order to allow waiting
367 for non-socket objects; this can be selected with
368 CONFIG_ELOOP=eloop_win in .config
369 * added support for selecting l2_packet implementation in .config
370 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET; following options are available now: linux, pcap,
371 winpcap, freebsd, none)
372 * added new l2_packet implementation for WinPcap
373 (CONFIG_L2_PACKET=winpcap) that uses a separate receive thread to
374 reduce latency in EAPOL receive processing from about 100 ms to about
376 * added support for EAP-FAST key derivation using other ciphers than
377 RC4-128-SHA for authentication and AES128-SHA for provisioning
378 * added support for configuring CA certificate as DER file and as a
380 * fixed private key configuration as configuration blob and added
381 support for using PKCS#12 as a blob
382 * tls_gnutls: added support for using PKCS#12 files; added support for
384 * added support for loading trusted CA certificates from Windows
385 certificate store: ca_cert="cert_store://<name>", where <name> is
386 likely CA (Intermediate CA certificates) or ROOT (root certificates)
387 * added C version of ndis_events.cpp and made it possible to build this
388 with MinGW so that CONFIG_NDIS_EVENTS_INTEGRATED can be used more
389 easily on cross-compilation builds
390 * added wpasvc.exe into Windows binary release; this is an alternative
391 version of wpa_supplicant.exe with configuration backend using
392 Windows registry and with the entry point designed to run as a
394 * integrated ndis_events.exe functionality into wpa_supplicant.exe and
395 wpasvc.exe and removed this additional tool from the Windows binary
396 release since it is not needed anymore
397 * load winscard.dll functions dynamically when building with MinGW
398 since MinGW does not yet include winscard library
400 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
401 * l2_packet_pcap: fixed wired IEEE 802.1X authentication with libpcap
402 and WinPcap to receive frames sent to PAE group address
403 * disable EAP state machine when IEEE 802.1X authentication is not used
404 in order to get rid of bogus "EAP failed" messages
405 * fixed OpenSSL error reporting to go through all pending errors to
406 avoid confusing reports of old errors being reported at later point
408 * fixed configuration file updating to not write empty variables
409 (e.g., proto or key_mgmt) that the file parser would not accept
410 * fixed ADD_NETWORK ctrl_iface command to use the same default values
411 for variables as empty network definitions read from config file
413 * fixed EAP state machine to not discard EAP-Failure messages in many
414 cases (e.g., during TLS handshake)
415 * fixed a infinite loop in private key reading if the configured file
416 cannot be parsed successfully
417 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
418 * wpa_gui: do not display password/PSK field contents
419 * wpa_gui: added CA certificate configuration
420 * driver_ndis: fixed scan request in ap_scan=2 mode not to change SSID
421 * driver_ndis: include Beacon IEs in AssocInfo in order to notice if
422 the new AP is using different WPA/RSN IE
423 * use longer timeout for IEEE 802.11 association to avoid problems with
424 drivers that may take more than five second to associate
427 * allow fallback to WPA, if mixed WPA+WPA2 networks have mismatch in
428 RSN IE, but WPA IE would match with wpa_supplicant configuration
429 * added support for named configuration blobs in order to avoid having
430 to use file system for external files (e.g., certificates);
431 variables can be set to "blob://<blob name>" instead of file path to
432 use a named blob; supported fields: pac_file, client_cert,
434 * fixed RSN pre-authentication (it was broken in the clean up of WPA
435 state machine interface in v0.4.5)
436 * driver_madwifi: set IEEE80211_KEY_GROUP flag for group keys to make
437 sure the driver configures broadcast decryption correctly
438 * added ca_path (and ca_path2) configuration variables that can be used
439 to configure OpenSSL CA path, e.g., /etc/ssl/certs, for using the
440 system-wide trusted CA list
441 * added support for starting wpa_supplicant without a configuration
442 file (-C argument must be used to set ctrl_interface parameter for
443 this case; in addition, -p argument can be used to provide
444 driver_param; these new arguments can also be used with a
445 configuration to override the values from the configuration)
446 * added global control interface that can be optionally used for adding
447 and removing network interfaces dynamically (-g command line argument
448 for both wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli) without having to restart
449 wpa_supplicant process
451 - try to save configuration whenever something is modified
452 - added WEP key configuration
453 - added possibility to edit the current network configuration
454 * driver_ndis: fixed driver polling not to increase frequency on each
455 received EAPOL frame due to incorrectly cancelled timeout
456 * added simple configuration file examples (in examples subdirectory)
457 * fixed driver_wext.c to filter wireless events based on ifindex to
458 avoid interfaces receiving events from other interfaces
459 * delay sending initial EAPOL-Start couple of seconds to speed up
460 authentication for the most common case of Authenticator starting
461 EAP authentication immediately after association
464 * added a workaround for clearing keys with ndiswrapper to allow
465 roaming from WPA enabled AP to plaintext one
466 * added docbook documentation (doc/docbook) that can be used to
467 generate, e.g., man pages
468 * l2_packet_linux: use socket type SOCK_DGRAM instead of SOCK_RAW for
469 PF_PACKET in order to prepare for network devices that do not use
470 Ethernet headers (e.g., network stack with native IEEE 802.11 frames)
471 * use receipt of EAPOL-Key frame as a lower layer success indication
472 for EAP state machine to allow recovery from dropped EAP-Success
474 * cleaned up internal EAPOL frame processing by not including link
475 layer (Ethernet) header during WPA and EAPOL/EAP processing; this
476 header is added only when transmitted the frame; this makes it easier
477 to use wpa_supplicant on link layers that use different header than
479 * updated EAP-PSK to use draft 9 by default since this can now be
480 tested with hostapd; removed support for draft 3, including
481 server_nai configuration option from network blocks
482 * driver_wired: add PAE address to the multicast address list in order
483 to be able to receive EAPOL frames with drivers that do not include
484 these multicast addresses by default
485 * driver_wext: add support for WE-19
486 * added support for multiple configuration backends (CONFIG_BACKEND
487 option); currently, only 'file' is supported (i.e., the format used
488 in wpa_supplicant.conf)
489 * added support for updating configuration ('wpa_cli save_config');
490 this is disabled by default and can be enabled with global
491 update_config=1 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf; this allows wpa_cli
492 and wpa_gui to store the configuration changes in a permanent store
493 * added GET_NETWORK ctrl_iface command
494 (e.g., 'wpa_cli get_network 0 ssid')
497 * replaced OpenSSL patch for EAP-FAST support
498 (openssl-tls-extensions.patch) with a more generic and correct
499 patch (the new patch is not compatible with the previous one, so the
500 OpenSSL library will need to be patched with the new patch in order
501 to be able to build wpa_supplicant with EAP-FAST support)
502 * added support for using Windows certificate store (through CryptoAPI)
503 for client certificate and private key operations (EAP-TLS)
504 (see wpa_supplicant.conf for more information on how to configure
505 this with private_key)
506 * ported wpa_gui to Windows
507 * added Qt4 version of wpa_gui (wpa_gui-qt4 directory); this can be
508 built with the open source version of the Qt4 for Windows
509 * allow non-WPA modes (e.g., IEEE 802.1X with dynamic WEP) to be used
510 with drivers that do not support WPA
511 * ndis_events: fixed Windows 2000 support
512 * added support for enabling/disabling networks from the list of all
513 configured networks ('wpa_cli enable_network <network id>' and
514 'wpa_cli disable_network <network id>')
515 * added support for adding and removing network from the current
516 configuration ('wpa_cli add_network' and 'wpa_cli remove_network
517 <network id>'); added networks are disabled by default and they can
518 be enabled with enable_network command once the configuration is done
519 for the new network; note: configuration file is not yet updated, so
520 these new networks are lost when wpa_supplicant is restarted
521 * added support for setting network configuration parameters through
522 the control interface, for example:
523 wpa_cli set_network 0 ssid "\"my network\""
524 * fixed parsing of strings that include both " and # within double
525 quoted area (e.g., "start"#end")
526 * added EAP workaround for PEAP session resumption: allow outer,
527 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
528 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
529 (this was allowed for PEAPv1 before, but now it is also allowed for
530 PEAPv0 since at least one RADIUS authentication server seems to be
531 doing this for PEAPv0, too)
532 * wpa_gui: added preliminary support for adding new networks to the
533 wpa_supplicant configuration (double click on the scan results to
534 open network configuration)
537 * removed interface for external EAPOL/EAP supplicant (e.g.,
538 Xsupplicant), (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE) since it is not required
539 anymore and is unlikely to be used by anyone
540 * driver_ndis: fixed WinPcap 3.0 support
541 * fixed build with CONFIG_DNET_PCAP=y on Linux
542 * l2_packet: moved different implementations into separate files
546 * driver_ipw: updated driver structures to match with ipw2200-1.0.4
547 (note: ipw2100-1.1.0 is likely to require an update to work with
549 * added support for using ap_scan=2 mode with multiple network blocks;
550 wpa_supplicant will go through the networks one by one until the
551 driver reports a successful association; this uses the same order for
552 networks as scan_ssid=1 scans, i.e., the priority field is ignored
553 and the network block order in the file is used instead
554 * fixed a potential issue in RSN pre-authentication ending up using
555 freed memory if pre-authentication times out
556 * added support for matching alternative subject name extensions of the
557 authentication server certificate; new configuration variables
558 altsubject_match and altsubject_match2
559 * driver_ndis: added support for IEEE 802.1X authentication with wired
561 * added support for querying private key password (EAP-TLS) through the
562 control interface (wpa_cli/wpa_gui) if one is not included in the
564 * driver_broadcom: fixed couple of memory leaks in scan result
566 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
567 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
568 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
569 * added support for using password with EAP-PAX (as an alternative to
570 entering key with eappsk); SHA-1 hash of the password will be used as
572 * added support for arbitrary driver interface parameters through the
573 configuration file with a new driver_param field; this adds a new
574 driver_ops function set_param()
575 * added possibility to override l2_packet module with driver interface
576 API (new send_eapol handler); this can be used to implement driver
577 specific TX/RX functions for EAPOL frames
578 * fixed ctrl_interface_group processing for the case where gid is
579 entered as a number, not group name
580 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
581 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
585 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA/WPA2 mode configuration to allow EAPOL
586 packets to be encrypted; this was apparently broken by the changed
587 ioctl order in v0.4.0
588 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
589 branch of madwifi CVS tree
590 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 password retries within the same EAP
591 authentication session
592 * added support for password changes with EAP-MSCHAPv2 (used when the
593 password has expired)
594 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
595 and adding them to the certificate chain
596 * fixed association with IEEE 802.1X (no WPA) when dynamic WEP keys
598 * fixed a possible double free in EAP-TTLS fast-reauthentication when
599 identity or password is entered through control interface
600 * display EAP Notification messages to user through control interface
601 with "CTRL-EVENT-EAP-NOTIFICATION" prefix
602 * added GUI version of wpa_cli, wpa_gui; this is not build
603 automatically with 'make'; use 'make wpa_gui' to build (this requires
604 Qt development tools)
605 * added 'disconnect' command to control interface for setting
606 wpa_supplicant in state where it will not associate before
607 'reassociate' command has been used
608 * added support for selecting a network from the list of all configured
609 networks ('wpa_cli select_network <network id>'; this disabled all
610 other networks; to re-enable, 'wpa_cli select_network any')
611 * added support for getting scan results through control interface
612 * added EAP workaround for PEAPv1 session resumption: allow outer,
613 i.e., not tunneled, EAP-Success to terminate session since; this can
614 be disabled with eap_workaround=0
616 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
617 * added a new build time option, CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG, that can be
618 used to reduce the size of the wpa_supplicant considerably if
619 debugging code is not needed
620 * fixed EAPOL-Key validation to drop packets with invalid Key Data
621 Length; such frames could have crashed wpa_supplicant due to buffer
623 * added support for wired authentication (IEEE 802.1X on wired
624 Ethernet); driver interface 'wired'
625 * obsoleted set_wpa() handler in the driver interface API (it can be
626 replaced by moving enable/disable functionality into init()/deinit())
627 (calls to set_wpa() are still present for backwards compatibility,
628 but they may be removed in the future)
629 * driver_madwifi: fixed association in plaintext mode
630 * modified the EAP workaround that accepts EAP-Success with incorrect
631 Identifier to be even less strict about verification in order to
632 interoperate with some authentication servers
633 * added support for sending TLS alerts
634 * added support for 'any' SSID wildcard; if ssid is not configured or
635 is set to an empty string, any SSID will be accepted for non-WPA AP
636 * added support for asking PIN (for SIM) from frontends (e.g.,
637 wpa_cli); if a PIN is needed, but not included in the configuration
638 file, a control interface request is sent and EAP processing is
639 delayed until the PIN is available
640 * added support for using external devices (e.g., a smartcard) for
641 private key operations in EAP-TLS (CONFIG_SMARTCARD=y in .config);
642 new wpa_supplicant.conf variables:
643 - global: opensc_engine_path, pkcs11_engine_path, pkcs11_module_path
644 - network: engine, engine_id, key_id
645 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
646 * added monitor mode for wpa_cli (-a<path to a program to run>) that
647 allows external commands (e.g., shell scripts) to be run based on
648 wpa_supplicant events, e.g., when authentication has been completed
649 and data connection is ready; other related wpa_cli arguments:
650 -B (run in background), -P (write PID file); wpa_supplicant has a new
651 command line argument (-W) that can be used to make it wait until a
652 control interface command is received in order to avoid missing
654 * added support for opportunistic WPA2 PMKSA key caching (disabled by
655 default, can be enabled with proactive_key_caching=1)
656 * fixed RSN IE in 4-Way Handshake message 2/4 for the case where
657 Authenticator rejects PMKSA caching attempt and the driver is not
658 using assoc_info events
659 * added -P<pid file> argument for wpa_supplicant to write the current
660 process id into a file
662 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
663 * added new phase1 option parameter, include_tls_length=1, to force
664 wpa_supplicant to add TLS Message Length field to all TLS messages
665 even if the packet is not fragmented; this may be needed with some
666 authentication servers
667 * fixed WPA/RSN IE verification in message 3 of 4-Way Handshake when
668 using drivers that take care of AP selection (e.g., when using
670 * fixed reprocessing of pending request after ctrl_iface requests for
671 identity/password/otp
672 * fixed ctrl_iface requests for identity/password/otp in Phase 2 of
673 EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS
674 * all drivers using driver_wext: set interface up and select Managed
675 mode when starting wpa_supplicant; set interface down when exiting
676 * renamed driver_ipw2100.c to driver_ipw.c since it now supports both
677 ipw2100 and ipw2200; please note that this also changed the
678 configuration variable in .config to CONFIG_DRIVER_IPW
681 * fixed a busy loop introduced in v0.3.5 for scan result processing
682 when no matching AP is found
685 * added a workaround for an interoperability issue with a Cisco AP
687 * fixed non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to use the same authentication timeout as
688 WPA with IEEE 802.1X (i.e., timeout 10 -> 70 sec to allow
689 retransmission of dropped frames)
690 * fixed issues with 64-bit CPUs and SHA1 cleanup in previous version
691 (e.g., segfault when processing EAPOL-Key frames)
692 * fixed EAP workaround and fast reauthentication configuration for
693 RSN pre-authentication; previously these were disabled and
694 pre-authentication would fail if the used authentication server
695 requires EAP workarounds
696 * added support for blacklisting APs that fail or timeout
697 authentication in ap_scan=1 mode so that all APs are tried in cases
698 where the ones with strongest signal level are failing authentication
699 * fixed CA certificate loading after a failed EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS
700 authentication attempt
701 * allow EAP-PEAP/TTLS fast reauthentication only if Phase 2 succeeded
702 in the previous authentication (previously, only Phase 1 success was
706 * added preliminary support for IBSS (ad-hoc) mode configuration
707 (mode=1 in network block); this included a new key_mgmt mode
708 WPA-NONE, i.e., TKIP or CCMP with a fixed key (based on psk) and no
709 key management; see wpa_supplicant.conf for more details and an
710 example on how to configure this (note: this is currently implemented
711 only for driver_hostapd.c, but the changes should be trivial to add
712 in associate() handler for other drivers, too (assuming the driver
714 * added preliminary port for native Windows (i.e., no cygwin) using
718 * added optional support for GNU Readline and History Libraries for
719 wpa_cli (CONFIG_READLINE)
720 * cleaned up EAP state machine <-> method interface and number of
721 small problems with error case processing not terminating on
722 EAP-Failure but waiting for timeout
723 * added couple of workarounds for interoperability issues with a
724 Cisco AP when using WPA2
725 * added support for EAP-FAST (draft-cam-winget-eap-fast-00.txt);
726 Note: This requires a patch for openssl to add support for TLS
727 extensions and number of workarounds for operations without
728 certificates. Proof of concept type of experimental patch is
729 included in openssl-tls-extensions.patch.
732 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
733 * fixed Windows/cygwin L2 packet handler freeing; previous version
734 could cause a segfault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
735 * added support for PMKSA caching with drivers that generate RSN IEs
736 (e.g., NDIS); currently, this is only implemented in driver_ndis.c,
737 but similar code can be easily added to driver_ndiswrapper.c once
738 ndiswrapper gets full support for RSN PMKSA caching
739 * improved recovery from PMKID mismatches by requesting full EAP
740 authentication in case of failed PMKSA caching attempt
741 * driver_ndis: added support for NDIS NdisMIncidateStatus() events
742 (this requires that ndis_events is ran while wpa_supplicant is
744 * driver_ndis: use ADD_WEP/REMOVE_WEP when configuring WEP keys
745 * added support for driver interfaces to replace the interface name
746 based on driver/OS specific mapping, e.g., in case of driver_ndis,
747 this allows the beginning of the adapter description to be used as
749 * added support for CR+LF (Windows-style) line ends in configuration
751 * driver_ndis: enable radio before starting scanning, disable radio
753 * modified association event handler to set portEnabled = FALSE before
754 clearing port Valid in order to reset EAP state machine and avoid
755 problems with new authentication getting ignored because of state
756 machines ending up in AUTHENTICATED/SUCCESS state based on old
758 * added support for driver events to add PMKID candidates in order to
759 allow drivers to give priority to most likely roaming candidates
760 * driver_hostap: moved PrivacyInvoked configuration to associate()
761 function so that this will not be set for plaintext connections
762 * added KEY_MGMT_802_1X_NO_WPA as a new key_mgmt type so that driver
763 interface can distinguish plaintext and IEEE 802.1X (no WPA)
765 * fixed static WEP key configuration to use broadcast/default type for
766 all keys (previously, the default TX key was configured as pairwise/
768 * driver_ndis: added legacy WPA capability detection for non-WPA2
770 * added support for setting static WEP keys for IEEE 802.1X without
771 dynamic WEP keying (eapol_flags=0)
774 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
775 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
776 * fixed compilation with CONFIG_PCSC=y
777 * added new ap_scan mode, ap_scan=2, for drivers that take care of
778 association, but need to be configured with security policy and SSID,
779 e.g., ndiswrapper and NDIS driver; this mode should allow such
780 drivers to work with hidden SSIDs and optimized roaming; when
781 ap_scan=2 is used, only the first network block in the configuration
782 file is used and this configuration should have explicit security
783 policy (i.e., only one option in the lists) for key_mgmt, pairwise,
784 group, proto variables
785 * added experimental port of wpa_supplicant for Windows
786 - driver_ndis.c driver interface (NDIS OIDs)
787 - currently, this requires cygwin and WinPcap
788 - small utility, win_if_list, can be used to get interface name
789 * control interface can now be removed at build time; add
790 CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE=y to .config to maintain old functionality
791 * optional Xsupplicant interface can now be removed at build time;
792 (CONFIG_XSUPPLICANT_IFACE=y in .config to bring it back)
793 * added auth_alg to driver interface associate() parameters to make it
794 easier for drivers to configure authentication algorithm as part of
797 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
798 * driver_broadcom: added new driver interface for Broadcom wl.o driver
799 (a generic driver for Broadcom IEEE 802.11a/g cards)
800 * wpa_cli: fixed parsing of -p <path> command line argument
801 * PEAPv1: fixed tunneled EAP-Success reply handling to reply with TLS
802 ACK, not tunneled EAP-Success (of which only the first byte was
803 actually send due to a bug in previous code); this seems to
804 interoperate with most RADIUS servers that implements PEAPv1
805 * PEAPv1: added support for terminating PEAP authentication on tunneled
806 EAP-Success message; this can be configured by adding
807 peap_outer_success=0 on phase1 parameters in wpa_supplicant.conf
808 (some RADIUS servers require this whereas others require a tunneled
810 * PEAPv1: changed phase1 option peaplabel to use default to 0, i.e., to
811 the old label for key derivation; previously, the default was 1,
812 but it looks like most existing PEAPv1 implementations use the old
813 label which is thus more suitable default option
814 * added support for EAP-PSK (draft-bersani-eap-psk-03.txt)
815 * fixed parsing of wep_tx_keyidx
816 * added support for configuring list of allowed Phase 2 EAP types
817 (for both EAP-PEAP and EAP-TTLS) instead of only one type
818 * added support for configuring IEEE 802.11 authentication algorithm
819 (auth_alg; mainly for using Shared Key authentication with static
821 * added support for EAP-AKA (with UMTS SIM)
822 * fixed couple of errors in PCSC handling that could have caused
823 random-looking errors for EAP-SIM
824 * added support for EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
825 * added support for EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS fast re-authentication (TLS
827 * added support for EAP-SIM with two challanges
828 (phase1="sim_min_num_chal=3" can be used to require three challenges)
829 * added support for configuring DH/DSA parameters for an ephemeral DH
830 key exchange (EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS) using new configuration parameters
831 dh_file and dh_file2 (phase 2); this adds support for using DSA keys
832 and optional DH key exchange to achieve forward secracy with RSA keys
833 * added support for matching subject of the authentication server
834 certificate with a substring when using EAP-TLS/PEAP/TTLS; new
835 configuration variables subject_match and subject_match2
836 * changed SSID configuration in driver_wext.c (used by many driver
837 interfaces) to use ssid_len+1 as the length for SSID since some Linux
839 * fixed couple of unaligned reads in scan result parsing to fix WPA
840 connection on some platforms (e.g., ARM)
841 * added driver interface for Intel ipw2100 driver
842 * added support for LEAP with WPA
843 * added support for larger scan results report (old limit was 4 kB of
844 data, i.e., about 35 or so APs) when using Linux wireless extensions
846 * fixed a bug in PMKSA cache processing: skip sending of EAPOL-Start
847 only if there is a PMKSA cache entry for the current AP
848 * fixed error handling for case where reading of scan results fails:
849 must schedule a new scan or wpa_supplicant will remain waiting
851 * changed debug output to remove shared password/key material by
852 default; all key information can be included with -K command line
853 argument to match the previous behavior
854 * added support for timestamping debug log messages (disabled by
855 default, can be enabled with -t command line argument)
856 * set pairwise/group cipher suite for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X to WEP-104
857 if keys are not configured to be used; this fixes IEEE 802.1X mode
858 with drivers that use this information to configure whether Privacy
859 bit can be in Beacon frames (e.g., ndiswrapper)
860 * avoid clearing driver keys if no keys have been configured since last
861 key clear request; this seems to improve reliability of group key
862 handshake for ndiswrapper & NDIS driver which seems to be suffering
863 of some kind of timing issue when the keys are cleared again after
865 * changed driver interface API:
866 - WPA_SUPPLICANT_DRIVER_VERSION define can be used to determine which
867 version is being used (now, this is set to 2; previously, it was
869 - pass pointer to private data structure to all calls
870 - the new API is not backwards compatible; all in-tree driver
871 interfaces has been converted to the new API
872 * added support for controlling multiple interfaces (radios) per
873 wpa_supplicant process; each interface needs to be listed on the
874 command line (-c, -i, -D arguments) with -N as a separator
875 (-cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi)
876 * added a workaround for EAP servers that incorrectly use same Id for
877 sequential EAP packets
878 * changed libpcap/libdnet configuration to use .config variable,
879 CONFIG_DNET_PCAP, instead of requiring Makefile modification
880 * improved downgrade attack detection in IE verification of msg 3/4:
881 verify both WPA and RSN IEs, if present, not only the selected one;
882 reject the AP if an RSN IE is found in msg 3/4, but not in Beacon or
883 Probe Response frame, and RSN is enabled in wpa_supplicant
885 * fixed WPA msg 3/4 processing to allow Key Data field contain other
886 IEs than just one WPA IE
887 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
888 layer (CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in .config); please note that some of the
889 required kernel mods have not yet been committed
890 * made EAP workarounds configurable; enabled by default, can be
891 disabled with network block option eap_workaround=0
893 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
894 * resolved couple of interoperability issues with EAP-PEAPv1 and
895 Phase 2 (inner EAP) fragment reassembly
896 * driver_madwifi: fixed WEP key configuration for IEEE 802.1X when the
897 AP is using non-zero key index for the unicast key and key index zero
898 for the broadcast key
899 * driver_hostap: fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key updates and
900 re-authentication by allowing unencrypted EAPOL frames when not using
902 * added a new driver interface, 'wext', which uses only standard,
903 driver independent functionality in Linux wireless extensions;
904 currently, this can be used only for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode, but
905 eventually, this is to be extended to support full WPA/WPA2 once
906 Linux wireless extensions get support for this
907 * added support for mode in which the driver is responsible for AP
908 scanning and selection; this is disabled by default and can be
909 enabled with global ap_scan=0 variable in wpa_supplicant.conf;
910 this mode can be used, e.g., with generic 'wext' driver interface to
911 use wpa_supplicant as IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with any Linux driver
912 supporting wireless extensions.
913 * driver_madwifi: fixed WPA2 configuration and scan_ssid=1 (e.g.,
914 operation with an AP that does not include SSID in the Beacon frames)
915 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
916 EAP-TTLS/EAP-OTP, EAP-PEAPv0/OTP, EAP-PEAPv1/OTP, EAP-OTP
917 * added support for asking one-time-passwords from frontends (e.g.,
918 wpa_cli); this 'otp' command works otherwise like 'password' command,
919 but the password is used only once and the frontend will be asked for
920 a new password whenever a request from authenticator requires a
921 password; this can be used with both EAP-OTP and EAP-GTC
922 * changed wpa_cli to automatically re-establish connection so that it
923 does not need to be re-started when wpa_supplicant is terminated and
925 * improved user data (identity/password/otp) requests through
926 frontends: process pending EAPOL packets after getting new
927 information so that full authentication does not need to be
928 restarted; in addition, send pending requests again whenever a new
930 * changed control frontends to use a new directory for socket files to
931 make it easier for wpa_cli to automatically select between interfaces
932 and to provide access control for the control interface;
933 wpa_supplicant.conf: ctrl_interface is now a path
934 (/var/run/wpa_supplicant is the recommended path) and
935 ctrl_interface_group can be used to select which group gets access to
936 the control interface;
937 wpa_cli: by default, try to connect to the first interface available
938 in /var/run/wpa_supplicant; this path can be overriden with -p option
939 and an interface can be selected with -i option (i.e., in most common
940 cases, wpa_cli does not need to get any arguments)
941 * added support for LEAP
942 * added driver interface for Linux ndiswrapper
943 * added priority option for network blocks in the configuration file;
944 this allows networks to be grouped based on priority (the scan
945 results are searched for matches with network blocks in this order)
948 * sort scan results to improve AP selection
949 * fixed control interface socket removal for some error cases
950 * improved scan requesting and authentication timeout
951 * small improvements/bug fixes for EAP-MSCHAPv2, EAP-PEAP, and
953 * PEAP version can now be forced with phase1="peapver=<ver>"
954 (mostly for testing; by default, the highest version supported by
955 both the Supplicant and Authentication Server is selected
957 * added support for madwifi driver (Atheros ar521x)
958 * added a workaround for cases where AP sets Install Tx/Rx bit for
959 WPA Group Key messages when pairwise keys are used (without this,
960 the Group Key would be used for Tx and the AP would drop frames
962 * added GSM SIM/USIM interface for GSM authentication algorithm for
963 EAP-SIM; this requires pcsc-lite
964 * added support for ATMEL AT76C5XXx driver
965 * fixed IEEE 802.1X WEP key derivation in the case where Authenticator
966 does not include key data in the EAPOL-Key frame (i.e., part of
967 EAP keying material is used as data encryption key)
968 * added support for using plaintext and static WEP networks
972 * added support for new EAP authentication methods:
973 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MD5-Challenge
975 EAP-TTLS/EAP-MSCHAPv2
983 EAP-PEAP/MD5-Challenge
985 EAP-SIM (not yet complete; needs GSM/SIM authentication interface)
986 * added support for anonymous identity (to be used when identity is
987 sent in plaintext; real identity will be used within TLS protected
988 tunnel (e.g., with EAP-TTLS)
989 * added event messages from wpa_supplicant to frontends, e.g., wpa_cli
990 * added support for requesting identity and password information using
991 control interface; in other words, the password for EAP-PEAP or
992 EAP-TTLS does not need to be included in the configuration file since
993 a frontand (e.g., wpa_cli) can ask it from the user
994 * improved RSN pre-authentication to use a candidate list and process
995 all candidates from each scan; not only one per scan
996 * fixed RSN IE and WPA IE capabilities field parsing
997 * ignore Tx bit in GTK IE when Pairwise keys are used
998 * avoid making new scan requests during IEEE 802.1X negotiation
999 * use openssl/libcrypto for MD5 and SHA-1 when compiling wpa_supplicant
1000 with TLS support (this replaces the included implementation with
1001 library code to save about 8 kB since the library code is needed
1003 * fixed WPA-PSK only mode when compiled without IEEE 802.1X support
1004 (i.e., without CONFIG_IEEE8021X_EAPOL=y in .config)
1007 * added support for internal IEEE 802.1X (actually, IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1)
1009 - EAPOL state machines for Supplicant [IEEE 802.1aa/D6.1]
1010 - EAP peer state machine [draft-ietf-eap-statemachine-02.pdf]
1011 - EAP-MD5 (cannot be used with WPA-RADIUS)
1012 [draft-ietf-eap-rfc2284bis-09.txt]
1013 - EAP-TLS [RFC 2716]
1014 - EAP-MSCHAPv2 (currently used only with EAP-PEAP)
1015 - EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 [draft-josefsson-pppext-eap-tls-eap-07.txt]
1016 [draft-kamath-pppext-eap-mschapv2-00.txt]
1017 (PEAP version 0, 1, and parts of 2; only 0 and 1 are enabled by
1018 default; tested with FreeRADIUS, Microsoft IAS, and Funk Odyssey)
1019 - new configuration file options: eap, identity, password, ca_cert,
1020 client_cert, privatekey, private_key_passwd
1021 - Xsupplicant is not required anymore, but it can be used by
1022 disabling the internal IEEE 802.1X Supplicant with -e command line
1024 - this code is not included in the default build; Makefile need to
1025 be edited for this (uncomment lines for selected functionality)
1026 - EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP require openssl libraries
1027 * use module prefix in debug messages (WPA, EAP, EAP-TLS, ..)
1028 * added support for non-WPA IEEE 802.1X mode with dynamic WEP keys
1029 (i.e., complete IEEE 802.1X/EAP authentication and use IEEE 802.1X
1030 EAPOL-Key frames instead of WPA key handshakes)
1031 * added support for IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)
1032 - improved PTK Key Handshake
1033 - PMKSA caching, pre-authentication
1034 * fixed wpa_supplicant to ignore possible extra data after WPA
1035 EAPOL-Key packets (this fixes 'Invalid EAPOL-Key MIC when using
1036 TPTK' error from message 3 of 4-Way Handshake in case the AP
1037 includes extra data after the EAPOL-Key)
1038 * added interface for external programs (frontends) to control
1040 - CLI example (wpa_cli) with interactive mode and command line
1042 - replaced SIGUSR1 status/statistics with the new control interface
1043 * made some feature compile time configurable
1044 - .config file for make
1045 - driver interfaces (hostap, hermes, ..)
1046 - EAPOL/EAP functions
1049 * Initial version of wpa_supplicant
