The new frame-xchg module now handles a lot of what ANQP used to do. ANQP
now does not need to depend on nl80211/netdev for building and sending
frames. It also no longer needs any of the request lookups, frame watches
or to maintain a queue of requests because frame-xchg filters this for us.
From an API perspective:
- anqp_request() was changed to take the wdev_id rather than ifindex.
- anqp_cancel() was added so that station can properly clean up ANQP
requests if the device disappears.
During testing a bug was also fixed in station on the timeout path
where the request queue would get popped twice.
Check the iftype before registering ANQP on new interface.
Not that the check here and in rrm.c (which already checks the iftype)
may need to be extended to run on NETDEV_WATCH_EVENT_UP because a device
could be created with a different iftype and then have the iftype changed
before powering up.
In the same fashion as the WSC WFA OUI, ie.[ch] will now expose the
other vendor OUIs to avoid duplication across multiple files in IWD
as well as used in iwmon.
The actual ANQP request was handled by netdev, but in the case of P2P
their may be no netdev. For this reason all functionality needed for
an ANQP request has been moved into anqp.c. There are still a few netdev
references, which need to be removed when P2P is introduced. Leaving them
in for now as its still going to work as a first pass implementation
The initial ANQP parser design did not work well with how the hotspot
implementation was turning out. For one, much care was taken into parsing
the EAP credentials which are not really required. The assumption is
that any hotspot network will already be provisioned, so checking that
the EAP parameters match is a bit overkill. Instead only the NAI Realms
will be checked. This greatly simplifies the NAI realm parser, as now it
can just return a string list of realms instead of the full EAP
credential info.
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.
