43 * fix WPS association with both WPS IE and WPA/RSN IE present with
44 driver wrappers that use hostapd MLME (e.g., nl80211)
47 * cleaned up driver wrapper API (struct wpa_driver_ops); the new API
48 is not fully backwards compatible, so out-of-tree driver wrappers
49 will need modifications
50 * cleaned up various module interfaces
51 * merge hostapd and wpa_supplicant developers' documentation into a
53 * fixed HT Capabilities IE with nl80211 drivers
54 * moved generic AP functionality code into src/ap
55 * WPS: handle Selected Registrar as union of info from all Registrars
56 * remove obsolte Prism54.org driver wrapper
57 * added internal debugging mechanism with backtrace support and memory
58 allocation/freeing validation, etc. tests (CONFIG_WPA_TRACE=y)
59 * EAP-FAST server: piggyback Phase 2 start with the end of Phase 1
60 * WPS: add support for dynamically selecting whether to provision the
61 PSK as an ASCII passphrase or PSK
62 * added support for WDS (4-address frame) mode with per-station virtual
63 interfaces (wds_sta=1 in config file; only supported with
64 driver=nl80211 for now)
65 * fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
67 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
68 * detect bridge interface automatically so that bridge parameter in
69 hostapd.conf becomes optional (though, it may now be used to
70 automatically add then WLAN interface into a bridge with
74 * increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
75 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
76 * driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
77 * added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
78 * 802.11n: scan for overlapping BSSes before starting 20/40 MHz channel

80 reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
81 * added support for WPS USBA out-of-band mechanism with USB Flash
82 Drives (UFD) (CONFIG_WPS_UFD=y)
83 * fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
85 * fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
86 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
87 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
88 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
89 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
90 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
91 * added number of code size optimizations to remove unnecessary
92 functionality from the program binary based on build configuration
93 (part of this automatic; part configurable with CONFIG_NO_* build

102 or modify primary/secondary channels if needed based on neighboring
104 * added support for NFC out-of-band mechanism with WPS
105 * added preliminary support for IEEE 802.11r RIC processing
108 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
109 (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
110 and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
111 methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
112 external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
113 be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
114 runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
115 the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
116 wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
118 * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
119 * added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
120 information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)
121 * fixed WEP authentication (both Open System and Shared Key) with
123 * added support for EAP-AKA' (draft-arkko-eap-aka-kdf)
124 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket

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

191 MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
192 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
193 * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
194 as a RADIUS authentication server
195 * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
196 received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
197 could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
198 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
200 * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
201 termination in the username
202 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
203 attribute in notification messages only when using fast
205 * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
207 * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
208 phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
211 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
212 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
213 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
214 this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
215 and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
217 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
218 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
219 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
220 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
221 * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
222 EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
223 phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
224 enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
226 * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
227 parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
228 -d (or -dd) command line arguments
229 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
230 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
233 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
234 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
235 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
236 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
237 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
238 * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
240 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
241 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
242 * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
243 pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
244 (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
245 either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
246 hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
247 not have support for this)
248 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
251 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
252 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
253 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
254 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
255 * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
256 by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
257 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
258 * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
259 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
260 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
261 * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
262 entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
263 (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
264 provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
265 if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
266 instead of hardcoded triplet file)
267 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
268 in Success Request [Bug 203]
269 * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
270 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
272 * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
273 (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
277 * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
278 radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
279 available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
280 * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
282 * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
283 for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
284 VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
285 currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
286 * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
287 and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
288 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
289 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
290 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
291 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
292 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
294 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
295 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
296 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
297 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
298 parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
299 GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
301 * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
302 ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
305 * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
306 hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
308 * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
309 using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
310 * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
312 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
315 * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
316 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
317 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
318 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
319 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
320 * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
321 successfully [Bug 152]
324 * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
325 requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
326 build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
327 * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
328 set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
329 implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
331 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
332 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
333 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
336 * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
337 logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
338 vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
339 * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
340 program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
341 eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
342 triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
343 to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
344 * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
345 local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
346 hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
348 * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
349 to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
350 disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
352 * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
353 madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
354 broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
355 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
356 instead of a static list generated at build time
357 * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
359 * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
362 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
363 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
364 the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
365 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
367 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
368 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
369 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
370 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
372 * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
373 by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
375 * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
376 HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
377 * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
378 * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
379 * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
380 user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
381 for EAP-Nak negotiation
382 * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
383 of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
384 authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
385 tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
387 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
388 * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
389 as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
390 disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
391 in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
392 device at the time (common switch configuration)
393 * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
394 to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
395 association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
396 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
399 * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
400 User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
401 for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
402 tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
403 does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
404 * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
405 ath# is part of a bridge interface
406 * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
407 * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
408 transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
409 condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
410 two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
413 * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
414 it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
415 * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
416 * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
419 * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
420 * fixed FreeBSD build
423 * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
424 RADIUS accounting gets correct information
425 * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
426 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
427 * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
431 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
432 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
433 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
434 * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
435 better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
436 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
437 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
441 * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
442 is configured and the other one is left empty
443 * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
444 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
445 branch of madwifi CVS tree
446 * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
447 without disassociation
448 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
449 and adding them to the certificate chain
450 * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
451 packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
452 packets could have cleared Class attribute
453 * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
454 * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
455 using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
456 options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
458 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
459 * added support for including network information into
460 EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
461 (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
462 * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
463 freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
464 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
465 * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
466 when receiving a TLS alert
467 * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
469 * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
470 with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
471 * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
472 and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
473 to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
474 radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
475 in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
476 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
477 * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
478 the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
480 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
483 * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
485 * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
486 to terminate authentication
487 * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
489 * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
491 * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
492 than one network interface to be used
493 * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
494 setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
495 incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
496 invalid message 2/4 was received
497 * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
498 adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
499 updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
500 time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
504 * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
505 authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
506 * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
507 (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
510 * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
511 * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
512 * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
513 the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
514 for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
515 * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
516 * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
517 * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
518 with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
519 authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
520 radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
521 CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
524 * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
525 been used at all for more than year
526 * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
527 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
530 * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
531 variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
532 this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
533 external RADIUS server
534 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
535 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
537 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
538 * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
539 * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
540 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
541 * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
542 * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
543 * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
544 * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
545 eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
546 IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
547 * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
548 client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
549 new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
550 containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
551 * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
552 used with other drivers
553 * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
554 hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
555 * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
556 madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
557 madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
558 .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
559 CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
561 * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
562 platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
564 * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
566 * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
567 CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
568 * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
569 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
570 * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
571 * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
573 * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
574 (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
576 * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
577 note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
578 CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
580 * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
581 * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
582 a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
583 * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
584 deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
585 and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
587 * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
588 external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
589 supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
590 method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
591 be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
592 and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
593 ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
594 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
595 layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
596 .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
599 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
600 * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
601 IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
604 * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
605 error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
606 changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
607 * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
608 twice causing a segfault for hostapd
609 * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
613 * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
614 * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
615 cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
616 * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
617 authentication messages into accounting messages
618 * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
619 EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
620 * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
621 not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
624 * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
625 - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
626 (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
627 - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
628 - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
629 - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
630 - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
631 wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
632 rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
633 * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
634 to the STA before sending a new one
637 * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
638 - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
639 - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
640 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
641 - allow different update intervals for each STA
642 * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
643 the real signal handler
644 * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
645 that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
646 STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
647 before the timer is triggered).
648 * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
649 add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
650 and accounting messages
651 * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
652 * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
653 per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
655 * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
656 previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
657 802.1X data) was removed
662 Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
663 of the Host AP driver.
