These will issue a JOIN/LEAVE_IBSS to the kernel. There is
a TODO regarding network configuration. For now, only the
SSID is configurable. This configuration is also required
for AP, but needs to be thought out. Since the current
AP Dbus API has nothing related to configuration items
such as freq/channel or RSN elements they are hard coded,
and will be for Ad-Hoc as well (for now).
Now that the device mode can be changed, netdev must check that
the iftype is correct before starting a connection or disconnecting.
netdev_connect, netdev_connect_wsc, and netdev_disconnect now check
that the iftype is station before continuing.
With the introduction of Ad-Hoc, its not as simple as choosing
aa/spa addresses when setting the keys. Since Ad-Hoc acts as
both the authenticator and supplicant we must check how the netdev
address relates to the particular handshake object as well as
choose the correct key depending on the value of the AA/SPA address.
802.11 states that the higher of the two addresses is to be used
to set the key for the Ad-Hoc connection.
A simple helper was added to choose the correct addressed based on
netdev type and handshake state. netdev_set_tk also checks that
aa > spa in the handshake object when in Ad-Hoc mode. If this is
true then the keys from that handshake are used, otherwise return
and the other handshake key will be used (aa will be > spa).
The station/ap mode behaves exactly the same as before.
For Ad-Hoc networks, the kernel takes care of auth/assoc
and issues a NEW_STATION event when that is complete. This
provides a way to notify when NEW_STATION events occur as
well as forward the MAC of the station to Ad-Hoc.
The two new API's added:
- netdev_station_watch_add()
- netdev_station_watch_remove()
When the EAPOL-Key data field is encrypted using AES Wrap, check
that the data field is large enough before calculating the expected
plaintext length.
Previously, if the encrypted data field was smaller than 8 bytes, an
integer underflow would occur when calculating the expected plaintext
data length. This would cause iwd to try to allocate a huge amount of
memory, which causes it to abort and terminate. If the data field was
equal to 8 bytes, iwd would try to allocate 0 bytes of memory, making
l_new return NULL, which subsequently causes iwd to crash on a NULL
pointer deference.

triggered flag was being reset to false in all cases. However, due to
how scan_finished logic works, it should have remained true if no more
commands were left to be sent (e.g. the scan was finished).
Having hidden SSIDs or SSIDs with non-UTF8 characters around make iwd
flood the logs with messages. Make iwd less verbose and show these
messages with enabled debug output only.
In addition, the periodic scan can now alternate between the
active or passive modes. The active mode is enabled by existence of
the known hidden networks and observation of them in the
previous scan result.
To support an auto-connect for the hidden networks and having
a limited number of SSIDs that can be appended into a probe
request, introduced a concept of a command batch. Now, scan request
may consist of a series of commands. The commands in the batch
are triggered sequentially. Once we are notified about the
results from a previous command, a consequent command in the
batch is triggered. The collective results are reported once
the batch is complete. On a command failure, the batch
processing is canceled and scan request is removed
Rework the logic slightly to simplify the need for error labels. Also
the connect_pending variable might not have been properly reset to NULL
in case of error, so make sure we reset it prior to calling into
network_connect_new_hidden_network
1) Change signature of process_bss to return a confirmation
that bss has been added to a network otherwise we can
discard it.
2) Implements logic for the discovery and connection to
a hidden network.
This removes the need for duplicate code in AP/netdev for issuing
a DEL_STATION command. Now AP can issue a DEL_STATION with
netdev_del_station, and specify to either disassociate or deauth
depending on state.
If netdev fails to set the keys, there was no way for device/ap to
know. A new handshake event was added for this. The key setting
failure function was also fixed to support both AP/station iftypes.
It will now automatically send either a disconnect or del_station
depending on the interface type.
In similar manner, netdev_handshake_failed was also modified to
support both AP/station iftypes. Now, any handshake event listeners
should call netdev_handshake_failed upon a handshake failure
event, including AP.
If device is already disconnected or in autoconnect mode, don't return
an error if .Disconnect is called. Instead simply silently return
success after disabling autoconnect.

This is a fixup for the AP code merge. wsc.c never registered
for handshake events, so in case of failure it was never calling
netdev_handshake_failed, which caused a double free.
Many APs don't send properly zerod key_iv elements in EAPoL-Key frames.
In the past iwd has complained, but this broken behavior is so
prevalent, that it is likely a lost cause.
This patch takes out these warnings
Right now iwd uses Control Port over NL80211 feature if the kernel /
driver supports it. On some kernels this feature is still buggy, so add
an iwd.conf entry to allow the user to override id.
For now the default is to disable this feature until it is more stable.
Now, a user can setup an AP as follows:
- Set device "Mode" to ap (ap interface will appear on bus)
- call "Start()" on AP interface
Issuing "Stop()" on the AP interface will stop and cleanup
the internal AP structures, but the AP interface will remain
up. To shutdown completely the device Mode must be switched
back to station. If the AP interface is running, the Mode can
directly be switched to station without calling Stop; this
has the same effect and will take down the AP interface.
Some of the PEAP server implementation brake the protocol
and don’t set the M flag for the first packet during the
fragmented transmission. To stay compatible with such
devices, we relax this requirement in iwd.
