2010-08-27cfg80211: allow changing port control protocolJohannes Berg2-3/+24
Some vendor specified mechanisms for 802.1X-style functionality use a different protocol than EAP (even if EAP is vendor-extensible). Allow setting the ethertype for the protocol when a driver has support for this. The default if unspecified is EAP, of course. Note: This is suitable only for station mode, not for AP implementation.

2010-08-27cfg80211: allow vendor specific cipher suitesJohannes Berg1-1/+8
cfg80211 currently rejects all cipher suites it doesn't know about for key length checking purposes. This can lead to inconsistencies when a driver advertises an algorithm that cfg80211 doesn't know about. Remove this rejection so drivers can specify any algorithm they like.

commit 95a6ccbb46c70cff376684c752831c014c87029d Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Date: Thu Aug 12 15:38:38 2010 +0200 cfg80211/mac80211: extensible frame processing introduced a netlink bug that caused parsing errors in userspace because it forgot to close a nesting, which would advertise a nesting length of zero to userspace, which then completely threw off parsing and led to Illegal nla->nla_type == 0 being printed by libnl.

Allow userspace to register for more than just action frames by giving the frame subtype, and make it possible to use this in various modes as well.

2010-05-07cfg80211/mac80211: better channel handlingJohannes Berg7-103/+163
Currently (all tested with hwsim) you can do stupid things like setting up an AP on a certain channel, then adding another virtual interface and making that associate on another channel -- this will make the beaconing to move channel but obviously without the necessary IEs data update. In order to improve this situation, first make the configuration APIs (cfg80211 and nl80211) aware of multi-channel operation -- we'll eventually need that in the future anyway. There's one userland API change and one API addition. The API change is that now SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface index rather than only wiphy index in order to take effect for that interface -- luckily all current users (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the old setting is preserved, but monitors are always slaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees. The second userland API change is the introduction of a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that hostapd should use going forward to make it easier to understand what's going on (it can automatically detect a kernel with this command). Other than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers are affected by this change because they only allow a single virtual interface. mac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the channel settings are per interface now, and needs to disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation, which is another important part of this patch. One of the immediate benefits is that you can now start hostapd to operate on a hardware that already has a connection on another virtual interface, as long as you specify the same channel. Note that two things are left unhandled (this is an improvement -- not a complete fix): * different HT/no-HT modes currently you could start an HT AP and then connect to a non-HT network on the same channel which would configure the hardware for no HT; that can be fixed fairly easily * CSA An AP we're connected to on a virtual interface might indicate switching channels, and in that case we would follow it, regardless of how many other interfaces are operating; this requires more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
