The network configuration options for IPv6 are grouped under [IPv6]
and include the following:
ip= ADDRESS/PREFIX
gateway=ADDRESS
dns=ADDRESS
The placeholders for DHCPv6 are placed along the way and marked
as TODO items.
Previously, netconfig_ipv4_select_and_install was used to install
addresses on initial connection to a network and after we have roamed.
Now for the after roaming connection scenario we have
netconfig_reconfigure. Remove roaming related code from
netconfig_ipv4_select_and_install
As part of the de-coupling from station object, switch all of
the network settings inquiries to use active_settings. active_settings
are set with netconfig_configure by the owner of netconfig object
and removed with netconfig_reset once network disconnects.
Instead of relying on station state changed signal, netconfig
introduces three new API calls to configure, re-configure and
reset the network configurations. The owner of netconfig object
is responsible for initiating the re-configuration of the device
depending on its state.
As a first step to enable the usage of netconfig in ead and
prospective transition to be a part of ell, the public API for
creation and destruction of the netconfig objects has been
renamed and changed. Instead of hiding the netconfig objects inside
of netconfig module, the object is now passed back to the caller.
The internal queue of netconfig objects remains untouched, due
to limitations in ell’s implementation of rtnl. After the proper
changes are done to ell, netconfig_list is expected to be removed
from netconfig module.
This makes every full test run consistent. The test list was being
stored as a hashmap, which has no been changed to a queue so we can
insert each test sorted.
A NEW_WIPHY event may not always contain all the information about a
given phy, but GET_WIPHY will. In order to get everything we must
mimic the behavior done during initalization and dump both wiphy
and interfaces when a NEW_WIPHY comes in.
Now, any NEW_WIPHY event will initialize a wiphy, but then do a
GET_WIPHY/GET_INTERFACE to obtain all the information. Because of
this we can ignore any NEW_INTERFACE notifications since we are
dumping the interface anyways.
Once some kernel changes get merged we wont need to do this anymore
so long as the 'full' NEW_WIPHY feature is supported.
Previously, command_option_get used to return NULL in the following
two scenarios: when command-line option with a such name didn’t exists
or its argument was not provided. This worked great for the cmd-line
options with the required arguments. With introduction of the cmd-line
options with no or optional arguments the function was changed to return
a boolean value indicating the existence of a such option and then, if
it had an argument - value_out variable would have been set.
Thereafter, this patch modifies the current usages of command_option_get.
Note, in these particular applications of command_option_get there is no
need to check the returned value from command_option_get, since these
options have the required arguments and we can only check if the value_out
parameter has been set or not.
If the AP sent us the plain passphrase we can now store that rather
than generating the PSK. This will allow WPA3 to work properly when
WPA3 + WSC is implemented.
This lets other modules (like WSC) to set a plain text passphrase
as opposed to only allowing a PSK to be set. network_get_psk was
also updated to generate a PSK on-the-fly if required. Since WPA3
requires the raw passphrase to work, it makes sense to just store
the passphrase if we have it.
Instead of returning the mode of execution, command_init now
returns whether we are done and need to exit.
Thereafter, the mode of execution is now obtain though the command
module’s API.
