netconfig is interested in three station states: connected,
disconnected and connected after it has roamed. On connected
it tries to obtain a new DHCP lease, on disconnected it stops
the DHCP client and discards all addresses from interface, on
connected after roaming it will try to request a previously
issued address.
iwd keeps track of the addresses assigned to the managed
interfaces. The list of assigned IPv4/IPv6 addresses is stored
in ifaddr_list inside of netconfig. The tracking of the IP
addresses will help to remove them from an interface once they
are no longer valid.
netconfig module will be responsible for the orchestration
of the network configuration with the IP addresses.
iwd creates one netconfig structure per interface index.
The purpose of this struct is to hold all of the interface
related addressing states such as: assigned dhcp
clients, known addresses, routes, etc.
A not-yet-merged kernel patch will enable the FRAME_WAIT_CANCEL
event to be emitted when a CMD_FRAME duration expires. This can
shortcut the ridiculously long timeout that is required making
GAS requests with no response drastically quicker to handle.
This adds a new API netdev_anqp_request which will send out a GAS
request, parses the GAS portion of the response and forwards the
ANQP response to the callers callback.
This IE tells us what Advertisement Protocols the AP supports. This
is only here to look for ANQP support, so all this does is iterate
through all other Advertisement Protocol tuples looking for ANQP.
If found, anqp_capable is set in the scan_bss
Currently these are geared to support the WiFi Alliance Hotspot 2.0
ANQP elements, which all fall under the vendor specific ANQP element.
anqp_iter_next behaves similar to the genl parsers, where the id, length
and data will be returned as out parameters. Currently there is only
vendor support for Hotspot 2.0. anqp_iter_is_hs20 can be used to setup
the subtype, length, and data pointer to parse any Hotspot 2.0 ANQP
elements. From here the subtype can be checked and a vendor specific
parser for that subtype can be used to parse the data, e.g.
hs20_parse_osu_provider_nai.
This removes all the duplicated code where the interfaces are iterated
and the radio/hostapd instances are created. Instead the two new APIs
are used to get each instance, e.g.:
hapd = HostapdCLI(config='ssid.conf')
radio = hwsim.get_radio('radX')
The vendor specific IE was being parsed only to check if the AP supported
WPA, which used a Microsoft OUI. Hotspot/OSEN uses neither WPA or RSN
(although its nearly identical to RSN) so the we also need to check for
this Wifi-Alliance OUI and set bss->osen (new) if found.
The OSEN AKM uses the vendor specific IE, so when finding the RSNE
element we need to handle it specially to ensure that its both
a vendor specific element and it matches the WFA OUI since other
vendor specific elements may be included.
The OSEN AKM is nearly identical to the RSN IE, but differs slightly.
For one, OSEN is encapsulated into the vendor specific IE, and includes
the WFA OUI before the 'normal' RSN elements. OSEN also does not include
a WPA version, since its not technically WPA/WPA2.
Some of the RSN parsing was made common so both RSN/OSEN parsing could
use it.
The handshake object had 4 setters for authenticator/supplicant IE.
Since the IE ultimately gets put into the same buffer, there really
only needs to be a single setter for authenticator/supplicant. The
handshake object can deal with parsing to decide what kind of IE it
is (WPA or RSN).
The Hotspot 2.0 spec introduces 'Anonymous EAP-TLS' as a new EAP method
to be used with OSEN/Hotspot. The protocol details of this aren't
relevant to this patch, but one major difference is that it uses the
expanded EAP type rather than the TLS type. Since the common TLS code
was written with only EAP_TYPE_TLS in mind the vendor ID/type cause the
EAP packet to be malformed when using the expanded EAP type.
To handle this the common TLS code now checks the EAP type, and if its
expanded we shift the payload 7 bytes further to account for the extra
header data.
802.11 defines GAS (generic advertisement service) which can be used
to query supported advertisement protocols from an AP before
authentication/association. Hotspot/OSEN only care about the ANQP
protocol, but the way the IE is structured potentially requires
iterating through several tuples before you reach the ANQP protocol
identifier. Because of this we define all protocol identifiers.
Inside print_ie_vendor, the Microsoft OUI is checked for a WPA IE. The
variable name for the OUI was wfa_oui, but this OUI is not actually the
WiFi-Alliance (sometimes refered to as 'wfa') but rather the Microsoft
OUI.
There is a common interface lookup in many tests in order to initialize
the HostapdCLI object e.g.:
for intf in hostapd_map.values():
if intf.config == 'ssidOWE.conf':
hapd = HostapdCLI(intf)
break
Instead of having to do this in every test, HostapdCLI will now
optionally take a config file (config=<file>). The interface object
will still be prefered (i.e. supplying an interface will not even
check the config file) as to not break existing tests. But if only
a config file is supplied the lookup is done internally.
There are some tests that do still need the interface, as they do
an interface lookup to initialize both hostapd and hwsim at the
same time.
