This will allow for blacklisting a BSS if the connection fails. The
actual blacklist module is simple and must be driven by station. All
it does is add BSS addresses, a timestamp, and a timeout to a queue.
Entries can also be removed, or checked if they exist. The blacklist
timeout is configuratble in main.conf, as well as the blacklist
timeout multiplier and maximum timeout. The multiplier is used after
a blacklisted BSS timeout expires but we still fail to connect on the
next connection attempt. We multiply the current timeout by the
multiplier so the BSS remains in the blacklist for a larger growing
amount of time until it reaches the maximum (24 hours by default).
The iwctl client and its unit test depends on readline. If building on a
host without readline installed, default make target succeeds when
configured with --disable-client, but the following make check target
fails.
Fix this by making the test-client target conditional on the
--{enable,disable}-client configure flag.
Using the gcc wrap feature, l_getrandom was redefined to use a known
good, hardcoded random value. The two other tests were also disabled
if l_getrandom is not supported since these do require randomness
for proper testing.
This module is similar to SAE in that it communicates over authenticate
and associate frames. Creating a new OWE SM requires registering two TX
functions that handle sending the data out over CMD_AUTHENTICATE/ASSOCIATE,
as well as a complete function.
Once ready, calling owe_start will kick off the OWE process, first by
sending out an authenticate frame. There is nothing special here, since
OWE is done over the associate request/response.
After the authenticate response comes in OWE will send out the associate
frame which includes the ECDH public key, and then receive the AP's
public key via the associate response. From here OWE will use ECDH to
compute the shared secret, and the PMK/PMKID. Both are set into the
handshake object.
Assuming the PMK/PMKID are successfully computed the OWE complete callback
will trigger, meaning the 4-way handshake can begin using the PMK/PMKID
that were set in the handshake object.
In out-of-tree builds without dependency tracking the src/ directory generally
won't be created before genbuiltin tries to write into it. Fix the race by
explicitly creating the directory.
Netdev/AP share several NL80211 commands and each has their own
builder API's. These were moved into a common file nl80211_util.[ch].
A helper was added to AP for building NEW_STATION to make the associate
callback look cleaner (rather than manually building NEW_STATION).
SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) takes place during
authentication, and followed by EAPoL/4-way handshake. This
module handles the entire SAE commit/confirm exchange. This was
done similar to eapol.
SAE begins when sae_register is called. At this point a commit
message will be created and sent out which kicks off the SAE
authentication procedure.
The commit/confirm exchange is very similar to EAP-PWD, so all
the ecc utility functions could be re-used as-is. A few new ecc
utility functions were added to conform to the 80211 'blinding'
technique for computing the password element.
