Running the tests inside a VM makes it difficult for the host to figure
out if the test actually failed or succeeded. For a human its easy to
read the results table, but for an automated system parsing this would
be fragile. This adds a new option --result <file> which writes PASS/FAIL
to the provided file once all tests are completed. Any failures results in
'FAIL' being written to the file.
\e[1;30m is bold black, often, but not always displayed bright black or
bold bright black. In case it is displayed as real black it is
invisible. \e[1;90m is explicit bold bright black.
\e[37m is white, therefore it is not suitable to be labeled as GREY,
which is \e[90m
The logic here assumed any BSS's in the roam scan were identical to
ones in station's bss_list with the same address. Usually this is true
but, for example, if the BSS changed frequency the one in station's
list is invalid.
Instead when a match is found remove the old BSS and re-insert the new
one.
With the addition of 6GHz '6000' is no longer the maximum frequency
that could be in .known_network.freq. For more robustness
band_freq_to_channel is used to validate the frequency.
Scanning while in AP mode is somewhat of an edge case, but it does
have some usefulness specifically with onboarding new devices, i.e.
a new device starts an AP, a station connects and provides the new
device with network credentials, the new device switches to station
mode and connects to the desired network.
In addition this could be used later for ACS (though this is a bit
overkill for IWD's access point needs).
Since AP performance is basically non-existant while scanning this
feature is meant to be used in a limited scope.
Two DBus API's were added which mirror the station interface: Scan and
GetOrderedNetworks.
Scan is no different than the station variant, and will perform an active
scan on all channels.
GetOrderedNetworks diverges from station and simply returns an array of
dictionaries containing basic information about networks:
{
Name: <ssid>
SignalStrength: <mBm>
Security: <psk, open, or 8021x>
}
Limitations:
- Hidden networks are not supported. This isn't really possible since
the SSID's are unknown from the AP perspective.
- Sharing scan results with station is not supported. This would be a
convenient improvement in the future with respect to onboarding new
devices. The scan could be performed in AP mode, then switch to
station and connect immediately without needing to rescan. A quick
hack could better this situation by not flushing scan results in
station (if the kernel retains these on an iftype change).
This was already implemented in station but with no dependency on
that module at all. AP will need this for a scanning API so its
being moved into scan.c.
The 802.11ax standards adds some restrictions for the 6GHz band. In short
stations must use SAE, OWE, or 8021x on this band and frame protection is
required.
All uses of this macro will work with a bitwise comparison which is
needed for 6GHz checks and somewhat more flexible since it can be
used to compare RSN info, not only single AKM values.
This adds checks if MFP is set to 0 or 1:
0 - Always fail if the frequency is 6GHz
1 - Fail if MFPC=0 and the frequency is 6GHz.
If HW is capable set MFPR=1 for 6GHz
This is a new band defined in the WiFi 6E (ax) amendment. A completely
new value is needed due to channel reuse between 2.4/5 and 6GHz.
util.c needed minimal updating to prevent compile errors which will
be fixed later to actually handle this band. WSC also needed a case
added for 6GHz but the spec does not outline any RF Band value for
6GHz so the 5GHz value will be returned in this case.
sae.c was failing to build on some platforms:
error: implicit declaration of function 'reallocarray'; did you mean 'realloc'?

In certain rare cases IWD gets a link down event before nl80211 ever sends
a disconnect event. Netdev notifies station of the link down which causes
station to be freed, but netdev remains in the same state. Then later the
disconnect event arrives and netdev still thinks its connected, calls into
(the now freed) station object and causes a crash.
To fix this netdev_connect_free() is now called on any link down events
which will reset the netdev object to a proper state.

If an event is in response to some command which is returning an
unexpected value (unexpected with respect to wpas.py) handle_eow
would raise an exception.
Specifically with DPP this was being hit when the URI was being
returned.
The difference between the existing code is that IWD will send the
authentication request, making it the initiator.
This handles the use case where IWD is provided a peers URI containing
its bootstrapping key rather than IWD always providing its own URI.
A new DBus API was added, ConfigureEnrollee().
Using ConfigureEnrollee() IWD will act as a configurator but begin by
traversing a channel list (URI provided or default) and waiting for
presence announcements (with one caveat). When an announcement is
received IWD will send an authentication request to the peer, receive
its reply, and send an authentication confirm.
As with being a responder, IWD only supports configuration to the
currently connected BSS and will request the enrollee switch to this
BSS's frequency to preserve network performance.
The caveat here is that only one driver (ath9k) supports multicast frame
registration which prevents presence frame from being received. In this
case it will be required the the peer URI contains a MAC and channel
information. This is because IWD will jump right into sending auth
requests rather than waiting for a presence announcement.
The frame watch which covers the presence procedure (and most
frames for that matter) needs to support multicast frames for
presence to work. Doing this in frame-xchg seems like the right
choice but only ath9k supports multicast frame registration.
Because of this limited support DPP will register for these frames
manually.
Parses K (key), M (mac), C (class/channels), and V (version) tokens
into a new structure dpp_uri_info. H/I are not parsed since there
currently isn't any use for them.
