In the beacon loss test try to simulate a periodic communication problem
because we don't support roaming if the AP goes away completely.
2 seconds seems to be enough to consistently trigger the beacon_loss
event without triggering a disconnect by the linux kernel or hiding the AP
from the roam scan. Also set the RSSI for that AP lower so that it is
not reselected by iwd.
If the kernel device driver or the kernel nl80211 version doesn't
support the new RSSI threshold list CQM monitoring, implement similar
logic in iwd with periodic polling. This is only active when an RSSI
agent is registered to receive the events. I tested this with the same
testRSSIAgent autotests that tests the driver-side rssi monitoring
except with all timeouts multiplied by ~20.
The AT_VERSION_LIST attribute length was not being properly
checked. The actual length check did not include possible padding
bytes, so align_len() was added to ensure it was padded properly.
The comment about the padding being included in the Master Key
generation was not correct (padding is NOT included), and was removed.
Function to allow netdev.c to explicitly tell eapol.c whether to expect
EAP / 4-Way handshake. This is to potentially make the code more
descriptive, until now we'd look at sm->handshake->ptk_complete to see
if a new PTK was needed.
A 4-Way handshake is required on association to an AP except after FT.
Implemented milenage algorithm in hlrauc.py. Unlike EAP-SIM, the
authentication center must compute several values to give back
to the server (hostapd). This was already done by IWD as the peer
in EAP-AKA, but was also needed on the server side (HLR AuC).
The subtype was only printed if mpdu_validate had returned an error for
the frame, i.e. would not be printed for well formed frames. This was
probably an intent to avoid printing the frame subtype after all the
conents of the body frame had been printed already, but iwmon only
supports printing of Authentication and Deauthentication frames so far.
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.
If we're adding the BSS to the list only because it is the current BSS,
set the rank to 0 (lowest possible value) in case the list gets used in
the next Connect call.
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.
Use beacon loss event to trigger a roam attempt in addition to the RSSI
monitoring. Due to the how well beacons are normally received compared
to data packets, a beacon loss indicates a serious problem with the
connection so act as soon as a first beacon loss event is seen.
Avoid roaming methods that involve the current AP: preauthentication,
neighbor report request and FT-over-the-DS (not supported)
There are situations including after beacon loss and during FT where the
cfg80211 will detect we're now disconnected (in some cases will send a
Deauthenticate frame too) and generate this event, or the driver may do
this. For example in ieee80211_report_disconnect in net/mac80211/mlme.c
will (through cfg80211) generate a CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE followed by a
CMD_DISCONNECT.
The kernel doesn't reset the netdev's state to disconnected when it
sends us a beacon loss event so we can't either unless we automatically
send a disconnect command to the kernel.
It seems the handling of beacon loss depends on the driver. For example
in mac80211 only after N beacon loss events (default 7) a probe request is
sent to the AP and a deauthenticate packet is sent if no probe reply is
receiver within T (default 500ms).
Derive a floating-point interval value from integers using math rather
than integer->string->float conversion. The string technique triggered a
-Wformat-overflow warning.
If an application initiates the Connect() operation and
that application has an agent registered, then that
application's agent will be called. Otherwise, the default
agent is called.

Initialize the skip buffer to 0s. This isn't strictly necessary, but
hides the above valgrind warning.
The aim of arc4 skip is simply to seed some data into the RC4 cipher so
it makes it harder for the attacker to decrypt. This 'initialization'
doesn't really care what data is fed.
CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE is not available for FullMAC based cards. We already
use CMD_CONNECT in the non-FT cases, which works on all cards. However,
for some reason we kept using CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE instead of CMD_DISCONNECT.
For FT (error) cases, keep using CMD_DEAUTHENTICATE.
Test that the AP interface and the station interface managed by iwd
can actually send and receive ethernet traffic when iwd is in the
connected state. Due to linux routing none of the high level utilities
like ping or arping can be easily used to test communication between
two interfaces of the same machine so use a method based on the
mac80211_hwsim/tools/hwsim_test.c utility in the wpa_supplicant tree
that uses a raw socket to inject unicast and broadcast frames.
Add this check in three tests of different security type connections
that simulate a single AP, and the two roaming tests with two APs.
Check that the station can't communicate with the other AP's interface.
