4 * fix WPS internal Registrar use when an external Registrar is also
6 * bsd: Cleaned up driver wrapper and added various low-level
8 * TNC: fixed issues with fragmentation

27 * fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
28 driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
31 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
32 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
33 will need modifications
34 * cleaned up various module interfaces
35 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
37 * fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
38 * moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
39 * WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars
40 * remove obsolte Prism54.org driver wrapper
41 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
42 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
43 * EAP-FAST server: piggyback Phase 2 start with the end of Phase 1
44 * WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
45 PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
46 * added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
47 interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
48 driver=nl80211 for now)
49 * fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
51 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
52 * detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
53 hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
54 automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
58 * increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
59 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
60 * driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
61 * added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
62 * 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel
63 * driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
64 reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
65 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
66 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
67 * fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
69 * fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
70 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
71 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
72 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
73 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
74 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
75 * added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
76 functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
77 (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build

80 * driver_nl80211: multiple updates to provide support for new Linux
81 nl80211/mac80211 functionality
82 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE Std 802.11w-2009
83 * fixed number of small WPS issues and added workarounds to
84 interoperate with common deployed broken implementations
85 * added some IEEE 802.11n co-existance rules to disable 40 MHz channels
86 or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
88 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
89 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
92 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
93 (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
94 and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
95 methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
96 external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
97 be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
98 runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
99 the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
100 wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
102 * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
103 * added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
104 information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
105 * fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
107 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
108 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket

110 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
111 * fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
114 * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
115 enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
117 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
118 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
119 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
120 needed with that version anymore)
121 * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
122 the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
123 using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
124 information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
125 channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
127 * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
128 large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
129 Ticket data is included)
130 * fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
133 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
134 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
135 * fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
137 * fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
139 * added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
140 (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
142 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
143 (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
144 authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
145 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
147 * added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
148 (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
149 * fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
150 is enabled in configuration
151 * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
152 A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
153 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
154 implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
155 * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
156 configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
157 starting from 2.6.29)
160 * added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
161 Identity Request if identity is already known
162 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
163 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
164 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
165 changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
166 and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
167 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
168 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
169 * added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)

175 MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
176 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
177 * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
178 as a RADIUS authentication server
179 * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
180 received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
181 could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
182 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
184 * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
185 termination in the username
186 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
187 attribute in notification messages only when using fast
189 * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
191 * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
192 phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
195 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
196 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
197 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
198 this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
199 and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
201 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
202 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
203 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
204 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
205 * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
206 EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
207 phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
208 enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
210 * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
211 parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
212 -d (or -dd) command line arguments
213 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
214 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
217 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
218 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
219 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
220 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
221 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
222 * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
224 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
225 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
226 * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
227 pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
228 (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
229 either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
230 hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
231 not have support for this)
232 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
235 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
236 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
237 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
238 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
239 * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
240 by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
241 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
242 * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
243 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
244 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
245 * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
246 entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
247 (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
248 provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
249 if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
250 instead of hardcoded triplet file)
251 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
252 in Success Request [Bug 203]
253 * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
254 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
256 * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
257 (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
261 * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
262 radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
263 available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
264 * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
266 * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
267 for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
268 VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
269 currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
270 * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
271 and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
272 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
273 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
274 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
275 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
276 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
278 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
279 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
280 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
281 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
282 parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
283 GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
285 * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
286 ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
289 * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
290 hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
292 * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
293 using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
294 * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
296 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
299 * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
300 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
301 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
302 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
303 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
304 * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
305 successfully [Bug 152]
308 * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
309 requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
310 build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
311 * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
312 set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
313 implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
315 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
316 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
317 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
320 * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
321 logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
322 vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
323 * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
324 program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
325 eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
326 triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
327 to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
328 * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
329 local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
330 hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
332 * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
333 to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
334 disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
336 * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
337 madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
338 broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
339 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
340 instead of a static list generated at build time
341 * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
343 * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
346 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
347 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
348 the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
349 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
351 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
352 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
353 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
354 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
356 * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
357 by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
359 * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
360 HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
361 * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
362 * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
363 * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
364 user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
365 for EAP-Nak negotiation
366 * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
367 of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
368 authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
369 tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
371 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
372 * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
373 as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
374 disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
375 in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
376 device at the time (common switch configuration)
377 * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
378 to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
379 association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
380 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
383 * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
384 User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
385 for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
386 tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
387 does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
388 * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
389 ath# is part of a bridge interface
390 * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
391 * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
392 transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
393 condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
394 two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
397 * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
398 it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
399 * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
400 * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
403 * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
404 * fixed FreeBSD build
407 * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
408 RADIUS accounting gets correct information
409 * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
410 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
411 * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
415 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
416 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
417 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
418 * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
419 better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
420 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
421 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
425 * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
426 is configured and the other one is left empty
427 * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
428 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
429 branch of madwifi CVS tree
430 * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
431 without disassociation
432 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
433 and adding them to the certificate chain
434 * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
435 packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
436 packets could have cleared Class attribute
437 * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
438 * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
439 using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
440 options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
442 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
443 * added support for including network information into
444 EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
445 (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
446 * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
447 freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
448 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
449 * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
450 when receiving a TLS alert
451 * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
453 * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
454 with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
455 * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
456 and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
457 to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
458 radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
459 in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
460 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
461 * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
462 the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
464 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
467 * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
469 * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
470 to terminate authentication
471 * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
473 * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
475 * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
476 than one network interface to be used
477 * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
478 setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
479 incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
480 invalid message 2/4 was received
481 * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
482 adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
483 updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
484 time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
488 * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
489 authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
490 * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
491 (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
494 * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
495 * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
496 * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
497 the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
498 for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
499 * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
500 * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
501 * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
502 with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
503 authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
504 radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
505 CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
508 * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
509 been used at all for more than year
510 * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
511 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
514 * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
515 variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
516 this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
517 external RADIUS server
518 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
519 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
521 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
522 * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
523 * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
524 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
525 * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
526 * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
527 * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
528 * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
529 eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
530 IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
531 * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
532 client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
533 new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
534 containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
535 * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
536 used with other drivers
537 * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
538 hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
539 * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
540 madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
541 madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
542 .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
543 CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
545 * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
546 platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
548 * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
550 * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
551 CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
552 * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
553 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
554 * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
555 * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
557 * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
558 (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
560 * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
561 note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
562 CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
564 * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
565 * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
566 a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
567 * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
568 deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
569 and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
571 * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
572 external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
573 supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
574 method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
575 be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
576 and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
577 ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
578 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
579 layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
580 .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
583 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
584 * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
585 IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
588 * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
589 error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
590 changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
591 * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
592 twice causing a segfault for hostapd
593 * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
597 * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
598 * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
599 cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
600 * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
601 authentication messages into accounting messages
602 * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
603 EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
604 * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
605 not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
608 * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
609 - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
610 (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
611 - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
612 - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
613 - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
614 - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
615 wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
616 rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
617 * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
618 to the STA before sending a new one
621 * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
622 - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
623 - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
624 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
625 - allow different update intervals for each STA
626 * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
627 the real signal handler
628 * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
629 that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
630 STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
631 before the timer is triggered).
632 * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
633 add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
634 and accounting messages
635 * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
636 * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
637 per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
639 * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
640 previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
641 802.1X data) was removed
646 Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
647 of the Host AP driver.
