2011-12-15cfg80211: validate nl80211 station handling betterJohannes Berg
The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like this could be an issue for drivers that don't use mac80211 to validate everything. As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the validation of allowing supported_rates to change for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211.

2011-11-21wireless: Support ht-capabilities over-rides.Ben Greear
This allows users to disable features such as HT, HT40, and to modify the MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU settings for drivers that support it. The MCS, AMPDU, and AMSDU features that may be disabled are are reported in the phy-info netlink message as a mask. Attemping to disable features that are not supported will take no affect, but will not return errors. This is to aid backwards compatibility in user-space apps that may not be clever enough to deal with parsing the the capabilities mask. This patch only enables the infrastructure. An additional patch will enable the feature in mac80211. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

My gcc, 4.6.1, can actually see that and doesn't warn. Simply initialize the variable to NULL.

When adding a TDLS peer STA, mark it with a new flag in both nl80211 and mac80211. Before adding a peer, make sure the wiphy supports TDLS and our operating mode is appropriate (managed). In addition, make sure all peers are removed on disassociation. A TDLS peer is first added just before link setup is initiated. In later setup stages we have more info about peer supported rates, capabilities, etc. This info is reported via nl80211_set_station().

Currently, when hostapd sets the station as authorized we also overwrite its uAPSD parameter. This obviously leads to buggy behaviour (later, with my patches that actually add uAPSD support).

Add a new nl80211 attribute to specify whether to send the management frames in CCK rate or not. As of now the wpa_supplicant is disabling CCK rate at P2P init itself. So this patch helps to send P2P probe request/probe response/action frames being sent at non CCK rate in 2GHz without disabling 11b rates. This attribute is used with NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_FRAME commands to disable CCK rate for management frame transmission.

2011-09-27cfg80211: Validate cipher suite against supported ciphersJouni Malinen
Instead of using a hardcoded list of cipher suites in nl80211.c, use a shared function in util.c to verify that the driver advertises support for the specified cipher.

2011-09-27cfg80211: Remove strict validation of AKM suitesJouni Malinen
NL80211_ATTR_AKM_SUITES can be used to configure new AKMs, like FT or the SHA-256 -based AKMs or FT from 802.11r/802.11w. In addition, vendor specific AKMs could be used. The current validation code for the connect command prevents cfg80211-based drivers from using these mechanisms even if the driver would not actually use this AKM value (i.e., it uses WPA/RSN IE from user space). mac80211-based drivers allow any AKM to be used since this value is not used there. Remove the unnecessary validation step in cfg80211 to allow drivers to decide what AKMs are supported. In theory, we could handle this by advertising supported AKMs, but that would not be very effective unless we enforce all drivers (including mac80211) to advertise the set of supported AKMs. This would require additional changes in many places whenever a new AKM is introduced even though no actually functionality changes may be required in most drivers.

2011-09-21cfg80211: Fix validation of AKM suitesJouni Malinen
Incorrect variable was used in validating the akm_suites array from NL80211_ATTR_AKM_SUITES. In addition, there was no explicit validation of the array length (we only have room for NL80211_MAX_NR_AKM_SUITES). This can result in a buffer write overflow for stack variables with arbitrary data from user space. The nl80211 commands using the affected functionality require GENL_ADMIN_PERM, so this is only exposed to admin users.

2011-09-13cfg80211/nl80211: Indicate roaming feature capability to userspace.Vivek Natarajan
When the rssi of the current AP drops, both wpa_supplicant and the firmware may do a background scan to find a better AP and try to associate. Since firmware based roaming is faster, inform wpa_supplicant to avoid roaming and let the firmware decide to roam if necessary. For fullmac drivers like ath6kl, it is just enough to provide the ESSID and the firmware will decide on the BSSID. Since it is not possible to do pre-auth during roaming for fullmac drivers, the wpa_supplicant needs to completely disconnect with the old AP and reconnect with the new AP.
