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).
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()
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.
Handshake related netdev events were removed in favor of
handshake events. Now events will be emitted on the handshake
object related to the 4-way handshake and key settings. Events
are:
HANDSHAKE_EVENT_STARTED
HANDSHAKE_EVENT_SETTING_KEYS
HANDSHAKE_EVENT_COMPLETE
HANDSHAKE_EVENT_FAILED
Right now, since netdev only operates in station mode, nothing
listens for COMPLETE/FAILED, as device/wsc gets notified by the
connect_cb when the connection was successful. The COMPLETE/
FAILED were added in preperation for AP moving into eapol/netdev.
Rename netdev_register_frame to netdev_frame_watch_add and expose to be
usable outside of netdev.c, add netdev_frame_watch_remove also. Update
the Neighbor Report handling which was the only user of
netdev_register_frame.
The handler is now simpler because we use a lookup list with all the
prefixes and individual frame handlers only see the frames matching the
right prefix. This is also useful for the future Access-Point mode.
Modify netdev_get_iftype, which was until now unused, and add
netdev_set_iftype. Don't skip interfaces with types other than STATION
on startup, instead reset the type to STATION in device.c.
netdev_get_iftype is modified to use our own interface type enum to
avoid forcing users to include "nl80211.h".
Note that setting an interface UP and DOWN wouldn't generally reset the
iftype to STATION. Another process may still change the type while iwd
is running and iwd would not detect this as it would detect another
interface setting interface DOWN, not sure how far we want to go in
monitoring all of the properties this way.
Allow attempts to connect to a new AP using the Reassociation frame even
if netdev->operational is false. This is needed if we want to continue
an ongoing roam attempt after the original connection broke and will be
needed when we start using cached PMKSAs in the future.
Add an methods and an event using the new
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST kernel feature to request RSSI
monitoring with notifications only when RSSI moves from one of the N
intervals requested to another.
device.c will call netdev_set_rssi_report_levels to request
NETDEV_EVENT_RSSI_LEVEL_NOTIFY events every time the RSSI level changes,
level meaning one of the intervals delimited by the threshold values
passed as argument. Inside the event handler it can call
netdev_get_rssi_level to read the new level.
There's no fallback to periodic polling implemented in this patch for
the case of older kernels and/or the driver not supporting
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CQM_RSSI_LIST.
netdev_reassociate transitions to another BSS without FT. Similar to
netdev_connect but uses reassociation instead of association and
requires and an existing connection.
Handle the changes of interface address in RTNL New Link messages
similarly to the name changes, emit a NETDEV_WATCH_EVENT_ADDRESS_CHANGE
event and a propety change on dbus.
Note this can only happen when the interface is down so it doesn't
break anything but we need to handle it anyway.
Make sure that the Neighbor Report timeout is cancelled when connection
breaks or device is being destroyed, and call the callback. Add an
errno parameter to the callback to indicate the cause.
Build and send the FT Authentication Request frame, the initial Fast
Transition message.
In this version the assumption is that once we start a transition attempt
there's no going back so the old handshake_state, scan_bss, etc. can be
replaced by the new objects immediately and there's no point at which both
the old and the new connection states are needed. Also the disconnect
event for the old connection is implicit. At netdev level the state
during a transition is almost the same with a new connection setup.
The first disconnect event on the netlink socket after the FT Authenticate
is assumed to be the one generated by the kernel for the old connection.
The disconnect event doesn't contain the AP bssid (unlike the
deauthenticate event preceding it), otherwise we could check to see if
the bssid is the one we are interested in or could check connect_cmd_id
assuming a disconnect doesn't happen before the connect command finishes.
There are situations when a CMD_DISCONNECT or deauthenticate will be
issued locally because of an error detected locally where netdev would
not be able to emit a event to the device object. The CMD_DISCONNECT
handler can only send an event if the disconnect is triggered by the AP
because we don't have an enum value defined for other diconnects. We
have these values defined for the connect callback but those errors may
happen when the connect callback is already NULL because a connection
has been estabilshed. So add an event type for local errors.
These situations may occur in a transition negotiation or in an eapol
handshake failure during rekeying resulting in a call to
netdev_handshake_failed.
Remove the keys and other data from struct eapol_sm, update device.c,
netdev.c and wsc.c to use the handshake_state object instead of
eapol_sm. This also gets rid of eapol_cancel and the ifindex parameter
in some of the eapol functions where sm->handshake->ifindex can be
used instead.
If an MD IE is supplied to netdev_connect, pass that MD IE in the
associate request, then validate and handle the MD IE and FT IE in the
associate response from AP.
When a new wiphy is added, the kernel usually adds a default STA
interface as well. This interface is currently not signaled over
nl80211 in any way.
This implements a selective dump of the wiphy interfaces in order to
obtain the newly added netdev. Selective dump is currently not
supported by the kernel, so all netdevs will be returned. A patch on
linux-wireless is pending that implements the selective dump
functionality.
Turn netdev watches into device watches. The intent is to refactor out
netdev specific details into its own class and move device specific
logic into device.c away from wiphy.c
