4 * fixed SHA-256 based key derivation function to match with the
5 standard when using CCMP (for IEEE 802.11r and IEEE 802.11w)
6 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 307]
7 * fixed WPS selected registrar expiration for internal PIN registrar
8 * disable PMTU discovery for RADIUS packets
9 * fixed WPS UPnP SSDP on 32-bit targets
10 * fixed WPS AP reconfiguration with drivers that do not use hostapd
12 * fixed RSN parameter setting for multi-BSS case
13 * added WPS workarounds for known interoperability issues with broken,
14 deployed implementation
15 * update IEEE 802.11w implementation to match with the published
17 * fixed OpCode when proxying WSC_ACK or WSC_NACK from WPS ER
18 * fixed proxying of WSC_NACK to WPS ER
19 * fixed compilation with newer GnuTLS versions
20 * added support for defining timeout for WPS PINs
21 * fixed WPS Probe Request processing to handle missing required
23 * fixed PKCS#12 use with OpenSSL 1.0.0
26 * driver_nl80211: fixed STA accounting data collection (TX/RX bytes
27 reported correctly; TX/RX packets not yet available from kernel)
28 * fixed EAPOL/EAP reauthentication when using an external RADIUS
30 * driver_prism54: fixed segmentation fault on initialization
31 * fixed TNC with EAP-TTLS
32 * fixed IEEE 802.11r key derivation function to match with the standard
33 (note: this breaks interoperability with previous version) [Bug 303]
36 * increased hostapd_cli ping interval to 5 seconds and made this
37 configurable with a new command line options (-G<seconds>)
38 * driver_nl80211: use Linux socket filter to improve performance
39 * added support for external Registrars with WPS (UPnP transport)
42 * added support for Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
43 (hostapd can now be configured to act as an integrated WPS Registrar
44 and provision credentials for WPS Enrollees using PIN and PBC
45 methods; external wireless Registrar can configure the AP, but
46 external WLAN Manager Registrars are not supported); WPS support can
47 be enabled by adding CONFIG_WPS=y into .config and setting the
48 runtime configuration variables in hostapd.conf (see WPS section in
49 the example configuration file); new hostapd_cli commands wps_pin and
50 wps_pbc are used to configure WPS negotiation; see README-WPS for
52 * added IEEE 802.11n HT capability configuration (ht_capab)
53 * added support for generating Country IE based on nl80211 regulatory
54 information (added if ieee80211d=1 in configuration)

58 * added support for using driver_test over UDP socket
59 * changed EAP-GPSK to use the IANA assigned EAP method type 51
60 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D7.0
61 * fixed retransmission of EAP requests if no response is received
64 * added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
65 enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
67 * updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
68 session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
69 OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
70 needed with that version anymore)
71 * changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
72 the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
73 using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
74 information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
75 channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
77 * fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
78 large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
79 Ticket data is included)
80 * fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers
83 * added support for SHA-256 as X.509 certificate digest when using the
84 internal X.509/TLSv1 implementation
85 * fixed EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque padding (0.6.4 broke this for some peer
87 * fixed internal TLSv1 implementation for abbreviated handshake (used
89 * added support for setting VLAN ID for STAs based on local MAC ACL
90 (accept_mac_file) as an alternative for RADIUS server-based
92 * updated management frame protection to use IEEE 802.11w/D6.0
93 (adds a new association ping to protect against unauthenticated
94 authenticate or (re)associate request frames dropping association)
95 * added support for using SHA256-based stronger key derivation for WPA2
97 * added new "driver wrapper" for RADIUS-only configuration
98 (driver=none in hostapd.conf; CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE=y in .config)
99 * fixed WPA/RSN IE validation to verify that the proto (WPA vs. WPA2)
100 is enabled in configuration
101 * changed EAP-FAST configuration to use separate fields for A-ID and
102 A-ID-Info (eap_fast_a_id_info) to allow A-ID to be set to a fixed
103 16-octet len binary value for better interoperability with some peer
104 implementations; eap_fast_a_id is now configured as a hex string
105 * driver_nl80211: Updated to match the current Linux mac80211 AP mode
106 configuration (wireless-testing.git and Linux kernel releases
107 starting from 2.6.29)
110 * added peer identity into EAP-FAST PAC-Opaque and skip Phase 2
111 Identity Request if identity is already known
112 * added support for EAP Sequences in EAP-FAST Phase 2
113 * added support for EAP-TNC (Trusted Network Connect)
114 (this version implements the EAP-TNC method and EAP-TTLS/EAP-FAST
115 changes needed to run two methods in sequence (IF-T) and the IF-IMV
116 and IF-TNCCS interfaces from TNCS)
117 * added support for optional cryptobinding with PEAPv0
118 * added fragmentation support for EAP-TNC
119 * added support for fragmenting EAP-TTLS/PEAP/FAST Phase 2 (tunneled)

125 MLME (driver_{hostap,nl80211,test}.c)
126 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D9.0
127 * copy optional Proxy-State attributes into RADIUS response when acting
128 as a RADIUS authentication server
129 * fixed EAPOL state machine to handle a case in which no response is
130 received from the RADIUS authentication server; previous version
131 could have triggered a crash in some cases after a timeout
132 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA realm processing to allow decorated usernames to
134 * added a workaround for EAP-SIM/AKA peers that include incorrect null
135 termination in the username
136 * fixed EAP-SIM/AKA protected result indication to include AT_COUNTER
137 attribute in notification messages only when using fast
139 * fixed EAP-SIM Start response processing for fast reauthentication
141 * added support for pending EAP processing in EAP-{PEAP,TTLS,FAST}
142 phase 2 to allow EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA to be used as the Phase 2 method
145 * fixed EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA message parser to validate attribute
146 lengths properly to avoid potential crash caused by invalid messages
147 * added data structure for storing allocated buffers (struct wpabuf);
148 this does not affect hostapd usage, but many of the APIs changed
149 and various interfaces (e.g., EAP) is not compatible with old
151 * added support for protecting EAP-AKA/Identity messages with
152 AT_CHECKCODE (optional feature in RFC 4187)
153 * added support for protected result indication with AT_RESULT_IND for
154 EAP-SIM and EAP-AKA (eap_sim_aka_result_ind=1)
155 * added support for configuring EAP-TTLS phase 2 non-EAP methods in
156 EAP server configuration; previously all four were enabled for every
157 phase 2 user, now all four are disabled by default and need to be
158 enabled with new method names TTLS-PAP, TTLS-CHAP, TTLS-MSCHAP,
160 * removed old debug printing mechanism and the related 'debug'
161 parameter in the configuration file; debug verbosity is now set with
162 -d (or -dd) command line arguments
163 * added support for EAP-IKEv2 (draft-tschofenig-eap-ikev2-15.txt);
164 only shared key/password authentication is supported in this version
167 * added experimental, integrated TLSv1 server implementation with the
168 needed X.509/ASN.1/RSA/bignum processing (this can be enabled by
169 setting CONFIG_TLS=internal and CONFIG_INTERNAL_LIBTOMMATH=y in
170 .config); this can be useful, e.g., if the target system does not
171 have a suitable TLS library and a minimal code size is required
172 * added support for EAP-FAST server method to the integrated EAP
174 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
175 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-07.txt)
176 * added a new configuration parameter, rsn_pairwise, to allow different
177 pairwise cipher suites to be enabled for WPA and RSN/WPA2
178 (note: if wpa_pairwise differs from rsn_pairwise, the driver will
179 either need to support this or will have to use the WPA/RSN IEs from
180 hostapd; currently, the included madwifi and bsd driver interfaces do
181 not have support for this)
182 * updated FT support to use the latest draft, IEEE 802.11r/D8.0
185 * added experimental IEEE 802.11r/D6.0 support
186 * updated EAP-SAKE to RFC 4763 and the IANA-allocated EAP type 48
187 * updated EAP-PSK to use the IANA-allocated EAP type 47
188 * fixed EAP-PSK bit ordering of the Flags field
189 * fixed configuration reloading (SIGHUP) to re-initialize WPA PSKs
190 by reading wpa_psk_file [Bug 181]
191 * fixed EAP-TTLS AVP parser processing for too short AVP lengths
192 * fixed IPv6 connection to RADIUS accounting server
193 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
194 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-04.txt)
195 * hlr_auc_gw: read GSM triplet file into memory and rotate through the
196 entries instead of only using the same three triplets every time
197 (this does not work properly with tests using multiple clients, but
198 provides bit better triplet data for testing a single client; anyway,
199 if a better quality triplets are needed, GSM-Milenage should be used
200 instead of hardcoded triplet file)
201 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 server to use a space between S and M parameters
202 in Success Request [Bug 203]
203 * added support for sending EAP-AKA Notifications in error cases
204 * updated to use IEEE 802.11w/D2.0 for management frame protection
206 * RADIUS server: added support for processing duplicate messages
207 (retransmissions from RADIUS client) by replying with the previous
211 * added support for configuring and controlling multiple BSSes per
212 radio interface (bss=<ifname> in hostapd.conf); this is only
213 available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
214 * fixed PMKSA cache update in the end of successful RSN
216 * added support for dynamic VLAN configuration (i.e., selecting VLAN-ID
217 for each STA based on RADIUS Access-Accept attributes); this requires
218 VLAN support from the kernel driver/802.11 stack and this is
219 currently only available with Devicescape and test driver interfaces
220 * driver_madwifi: fixed configuration of unencrypted modes (plaintext
221 and IEEE 802.1X without WEP)
222 * removed STAKey handshake since PeerKey handshake has replaced it in
223 IEEE 802.11ma and there are no known deployments of STAKey
224 * updated EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK) to use the latest
225 draft (draft-ietf-emu-eap-gpsk-01.txt)
226 * added preliminary implementation of IEEE 802.11w/D1.0 (management
228 (Note: this requires driver support to work properly.)
229 (Note2: IEEE 802.11w is an unapproved draft and subject to change.)
230 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for GSM-Milenage (for EAP-SIM)
231 * hlr_auc_gw: added support for reading per-IMSI Milenage keys and
232 parameters from a text file to make it possible to implement proper
233 GSM/UMTS authentication server for multiple SIM/USIM cards using
235 * fixed session timeout processing with drivers that do not use
236 ieee802_11.c (e.g., madwifi)
239 * added 'hostapd_cli new_sta <addr>' command for adding a new STA into
240 hostapd (e.g., to initialize wired network authentication based on an
242 * fixed hostapd to add PMKID KDE into 4-Way Handshake Message 1 when
243 using WPA2 even if PMKSA caching is not used
244 * added -P<pid file> argument for hostapd to write the current process
246 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Server MIB (RFC 2619)
249 * fixed nt_password_hash build [Bug 144]
250 * added PeerKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
251 direct link setup (DLS) to replace STAKey handshake
252 * added support for EAP Generalized Pre-Shared Key (EAP-GPSK,
253 draft-clancy-emu-eap-shared-secret-00.txt)
254 * fixed a segmentation fault when RSN pre-authentication was completed
255 successfully [Bug 152]
258 * do not build nt_password_hash and hlr_auc_gw by default to avoid
259 requiring a TLS library for a successful build; these programs can be
260 build with 'make nt_password_hash' and 'make hlr_auc_gw'
261 * added a new configuration option, eapol_version, that can be used to
262 set EAPOL version to 1 (default is 2) to work around broken client
263 implementations that drop EAPOL frames which use version number 2
265 * added support for EAP-SAKE (no EAP method number allocated yet, so
266 this is using the same experimental type 255 as EAP-PSK)
267 * fixed EAP-MSCHAPv2 message length validation
270 * fixed stdarg use in hostapd_logger(): if both stdout and syslog
271 logging was enabled, hostapd could trigger a segmentation fault in
272 vsyslog on some CPU -- C library combinations
273 * moved HLR/AuC gateway implementation for EAP-SIM/AKA into an external
274 program to make it easier to use for implementing real SS7 gateway;
275 eap_sim_db is not anymore used as a file name for GSM authentication
276 triplets; instead, it is path to UNIX domain socket that will be used
277 to communicate with the external gateway program (e.g., hlr_auc_gw)
278 * added example HLR/AuC gateway implementation, hlr_auc_gw, that uses
279 local information (GSM authentication triplets from a text file and
280 hardcoded AKA authentication data); this can be used to test EAP-SIM
282 * added Milenage algorithm (example 3GPP AKA algorithm) to hlr_auc_gw
283 to make it possible to test EAP-AKA with real USIM cards (this is
284 disabled by default; define AKA_USE_MILENAGE when building hlr_auc_gw
286 * driver_madwifi: added support for getting station RSN IE from
287 madwifi-ng svn r1453 and newer; this fixes RSN that was apparently
288 broken with earlier change (r1357) in the driver
289 * changed EAP method registration to use a dynamic list of methods
290 instead of a static list generated at build time
291 * fixed WPA message 3/4 not to encrypt Key Data field (WPA IE)
293 * added ap_max_inactivity configuration parameter
296 * driver_test: added better support for multiple APs and STAs by using
297 a directory with sockets that include MAC address for each device in
298 the name (test_socket=DIR:/tmp/test)
299 * added support for EAP expanded type (vendor specific EAP methods)
301 2005-12-18 - v0.5.0 (beginning of 0.5.x development releases)
302 * added experimental STAKey handshake implementation for IEEE 802.11e
303 direct link setup (DLS); note: this is disabled by default in both
304 build and runtime configuration (can be enabled with CONFIG_STAKEY=y
306 * added support for EAP methods to use callbacks to external programs
307 by buffering a pending request and processing it after the EAP method
309 * improved EAP-SIM database interface to allow external request to GSM
310 HLR/AuC without blocking hostapd process
311 * added support for using EAP-SIM pseudonyms and fast re-authentication
312 * added support for EAP-AKA in the integrated EAP authenticator
313 * added support for matching EAP identity prefixes (e.g., "1"*) in EAP
314 user database to allow EAP-SIM/AKA selection without extra roundtrip
315 for EAP-Nak negotiation
316 * added support for storing EAP user password as NtPasswordHash instead
317 of plaintext password when using MSCHAP or MSCHAPv2 for
318 authentication (hash:<16-octet hex value>); added nt_password_hash
319 tool for hashing password to generate NtPasswordHash
321 2005-11-20 - v0.4.7 (beginning of 0.4.x stable releases)
322 * driver_wired: fixed EAPOL sending to optionally use PAE group address
323 as the destination instead of supplicant MAC address; this is
324 disabled by default, but should be enabled with use_pae_group_addr=1
325 in configuration file if the wired interface is used by only one
326 device at the time (common switch configuration)
327 * driver_madwifi: configure driver to use TKIP countermeasures in order
328 to get correct behavior (IEEE 802.11 association failing; previously,
329 association succeeded, but hostpad forced disassociation immediately)
330 * driver_madwifi: added support for madwifi-ng
333 * added support for replacing user identity from EAP with RADIUS
334 User-Name attribute from Access-Accept message, if that is included,
335 for the RADIUS accounting messages (e.g., for EAP-PEAP/TTLS to get
336 tunneled identity into accounting messages when the RADIUS server
337 does not support better way of doing this with Class attribute)
338 * driver_madwifi: fixed EAPOL packet receive for configuration where
339 ath# is part of a bridge interface
340 * added a configuration file and log analyzer script for logwatch
341 * fixed EAPOL state machine step function to process all state
342 transitions before processing new events; this resolves a race
343 condition in which EAPOL-Start message could trigger hostapd to send
344 two EAP-Response/Identity frames to the authentication server
347 * added client CA list to the TLS certificate request in order to make
348 it easier for the client to select which certificate to use
349 * added experimental support for EAP-PSK
350 * added support for WE-19 (hostap, madwifi)
353 * fixed build without CONFIG_RSN_PREAUTH
354 * fixed FreeBSD build
357 * fixed PMKSA caching to copy User-Name and Class attributes so that
358 RADIUS accounting gets correct information
359 * start RADIUS accounting only after successful completion of WPA
360 4-Way Handshake if WPA-PSK is used
361 * fixed PMKSA caching for the case where STA (re)associates without
365 * EAP-PAX is now registered as EAP type 46
366 * fixed EAP-PAX MAC calculation
367 * fixed EAP-PAX CK and ICK key derivation
368 * renamed eap_authenticator configuration variable to eap_server to
369 better match with RFC 3748 (EAP) terminology
370 * driver_test: added support for testing hostapd with wpa_supplicant
371 by using test driver interface without any kernel drivers or network
375 * fixed RADIUS server initialization when only auth or acct server
376 is configured and the other one is left empty
377 * driver_madwifi: added support for RADIUS accounting
378 * driver_madwifi: added preliminary support for compiling against 'BSD'
379 branch of madwifi CVS tree
380 * driver_madwifi: fixed pairwise key removal to allow WPA reauth
381 without disassociation
382 * added support for reading additional certificates from PKCS#12 files
383 and adding them to the certificate chain
384 * fixed RADIUS Class attribute processing to only use Access-Accept
385 packets to update Class; previously, other RADIUS authentication
386 packets could have cleared Class attribute
387 * added support for more than one Class attribute in RADIUS packets
388 * added support for verifying certificate revocation list (CRL) when
389 using integrated EAP authenticator for EAP-TLS; new hostapd.conf
390 options 'check_crl'; CRL must be included in the ca_cert file for now
392 2005-04-25 - v0.4.0 (beginning of 0.4.x development releases)
393 * added support for including network information into
394 EAP-Request/Identity message (ASCII-0 (nul) in eap_message)
395 (e.g., to implement draft-adrange-eap-network-discovery-07.txt)
396 * fixed a bug which caused some RSN pre-authentication cases to use
397 freed memory and potentially crash hostapd
398 * fixed private key loading for cases where passphrase is not set
399 * added support for sending TLS alerts and aborting authentication
400 when receiving a TLS alert
401 * fixed WPA2 to add PMKSA cache entry when using integrated EAP
403 * fixed PMKSA caching (EAP authentication was not skipped correctly
404 with the new state machine changes from IEEE 802.1X draft)
405 * added support for RADIUS over IPv6; own_ip_addr, auth_server_addr,
406 and acct_server_addr can now be IPv6 addresses (CONFIG_IPV6=y needs
407 to be added to .config to include IPv6 support); for RADIUS server,
408 radius_server_ipv6=1 needs to be set in hostapd.conf and addresses
409 in RADIUS clients file can then use IPv6 format
410 * added experimental support for EAP-PAX
411 * replaced hostapd control interface library (hostapd_ctrl.[ch]) with
412 the same implementation that wpa_supplicant is using (wpa_ctrl.[ch])
414 2005-02-12 - v0.3.7 (beginning of 0.3.x stable releases)
417 * added support for configuring a forced PEAP version based on the
419 * fixed PEAPv1 to use tunneled EAP-Success/Failure instead of EAP-TLV
420 to terminate authentication
421 * fixed EAP identifier duplicate processing with the new IEEE 802.1X
423 * clear accounting data in the driver when starting a new accounting
425 * driver_madwifi: filter wireless events based on ifindex to allow more
426 than one network interface to be used
427 * fixed WPA message 2/4 processing not to cancel timeout for TimeoutEvt
428 setting if the packet does not pass MIC verification (e.g., due to
429 incorrect PSK); previously, message 1/4 was not tried again if an
430 invalid message 2/4 was received
431 * fixed reconfiguration of RADIUS client retransmission timer when
432 adding a new message to the pending list; previously, timer was not
433 updated at this point and if there was a pending message with long
434 time for the next retry, the new message needed to wait that long for
438 * added support for configuring multiple allowed EAP types for Phase 2
439 authentication (EAP-PEAP, EAP-TTLS)
440 * fixed EAPOL-Start processing to trigger WPA reauthentication
441 (previously, only EAPOL authentication was done)
444 * added support for EAP-PEAP in the integrated EAP authenticator
445 * added support for EAP-GTC in the integrated EAP authenticator
446 * added support for configuring list of EAP methods for Phase 1 so that
447 the integrated EAP authenticator can, e.g., use the wildcard entry
448 for EAP-TLS and EAP-PEAP
449 * added support for EAP-TTLS in the integrated EAP authenticator
450 * added support for EAP-SIM in the integrated EAP authenticator
451 * added support for using hostapd as a RADIUS authentication server
452 with the integrated EAP authenticator taking care of EAP
453 authentication (new hostapd.conf options: radius_server_clients and
454 radius_server_auth_port); this is not included in default build; use
455 CONFIG_RADIUS_SERVER=y in .config to include
458 * removed 'daemonize' configuration file option since it has not really
459 been used at all for more than year
460 * driver_madwifi: fixed group key setup and added get_ssid method
461 * added support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 in the integrated EAP authenticator
464 * added support for integrated EAP-TLS authentication (new hostapd.conf
465 variables: ca_cert, server_cert, private_key, private_key_passwd);
466 this enabled dynamic keying (WPA2/WPA/IEEE 802.1X/WEP) without
467 external RADIUS server
468 * added support for reading PKCS#12 (PFX) files (as a replacement for
469 PEM/DER) to get certificate and private key (CONFIG_PKCS12)
471 2004-12-05 - v0.3.0 (beginning of 0.3.x development releases)
472 * added support for Acct-{Input,Output}-Gigawords
473 * added support for Event-Timestamp (in RADIUS Accounting-Requests)
474 * added support for RADIUS Authentication Client MIB (RFC2618)
475 * added support for RADIUS Accounting Client MIB (RFC2620)
476 * made EAP re-authentication period configurable (eap_reauth_period)
477 * fixed EAPOL reauthentication to trigger WPA/WPA2 reauthentication
478 * fixed EAPOL state machine to stop if STA is removed during
479 eapol_sm_step(); this fixes at least one segfault triggering bug with
480 IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication
481 * added support for multiple WPA pre-shared keys (e.g., one for each
482 client MAC address or keys shared by a group of clients);
483 new hostapd.conf field wpa_psk_file for setting path to a text file
484 containing PSKs, see hostapd.wpa_psk for an example
485 * added support for multiple driver interfaces to allow hostapd to be
486 used with other drivers
487 * added wired authenticator driver interface (driver=wired in
488 hostapd.conf, see wired.conf for example configuration)
489 * added madwifi driver interface (driver=madwifi in hostapd.conf, see
490 madwifi.conf for example configuration; Note: include files from
491 madwifi project is needed for building and a configuration file,
492 .config, needs to be created in hostapd directory with
493 CONFIG_DRIVER_MADWIFI=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
495 * fixed an alignment issue that could cause SHA-1 to fail on some
496 platforms (e.g., Intel ixp425 with a compiler that does not 32-bit
498 * fixed RADIUS reconnection after an error in sending interim
500 * added hostapd control interface for external programs and an example
501 CLI, hostapd_cli (like wpa_cli for wpa_supplicant)
502 * started adding dot11, dot1x, radius MIBs ('hostapd_cli mib',
503 'hostapd_cli sta <addr>')
504 * finished update from IEEE 802.1X-2001 to IEEE 802.1X-REV (now d11)
505 * added support for strict GTK rekeying (wpa_strict_rekey in
507 * updated IAPP to use UDP port 3517 and multicast address 224.0.1.178
508 (instead of broadcast) for IAPP ADD-notify (moved from draft 3 to
510 * added Prism54 driver interface (driver=prism54 in hostapd.conf;
511 note: .config needs to be created in hostapd directory with
512 CONFIG_DRIVER_PRISM54=y to include this driver interface in hostapd
514 * dual-licensed hostapd (GPLv2 and BSD licenses)
515 * fixed RADIUS accounting to generate a new session id for cases where
516 a station reassociates without first being complete deauthenticated
517 * fixed STA disassociation handler to mark next timeout state to
518 deauthenticate the station, i.e., skip long wait for inactivity poll
519 and extra disassociation, if the STA disassociates without
521 * added integrated EAP authenticator that can be used instead of
522 external RADIUS authentication server; currently, only EAP-MD5 is
523 supported, so this cannot yet be used for key distribution; the EAP
524 method interface is generic, though, so adding new EAP methods should
525 be straightforward; new hostapd.conf variables: 'eap_authenticator'
526 and 'eap_user_file'; this obsoletes "minimal authentication server"
527 ('minimal_eap' in hostapd.conf) which is now removed
528 * added support for FreeBSD and driver interface for the BSD net80211
529 layer (driver=bsd in hostapd.conf and CONFIG_DRIVER_BSD=y in
530 .config); please note that some of the required kernel mods have not
533 2004-07-17 - v0.2.4 (beginning of 0.2.x stable releases)
534 * fixed some accounting cases where Accounting-Start was sent when
535 IEEE 802.1X port was being deauthorized
538 * modified RADIUS client to re-connect the socket in case of certain
539 error codes that are generated when a network interface state is
540 changes (e.g., when IP address changes or the interface is set UP)
541 * fixed couple of cases where EAPOL state for a station was freed
542 twice causing a segfault for hostapd
543 * fixed couple of bugs in processing WPA deauthentication (freed data
547 * fixed WPA/WPA2 group rekeying to use key index correctly (GN/GM)
548 * fixed group rekeying to send zero TSC in EAPOL-Key messages to fix
549 cases where STAs dropped multicast frames as replay attacks
550 * added support for copying RADIUS Attribute 'Class' from
551 authentication messages into accounting messages
552 * send canned EAP failure if RADIUS server sends Access-Reject without
553 EAP message (previously, Supplicant was not notified in this case)
554 * fixed mixed WPA-PSK and WPA-EAP mode to work with WPA-PSK (i.e., do
555 not start EAPOL state machines if the STA selected to use WPA-PSK)
558 * added WPA and IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) Authenticator functionality
559 - based on IEEE 802.11i/D10.0 but modified to interoperate with WPA
560 (i.e., IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
561 - supports WPA-only, RSN-only, and mixed WPA/RSN mode
562 - both WPA-PSK and WPA-RADIUS/EAP are supported
563 - PMKSA caching and pre-authentication
564 - new hostapd.conf variables: wpa, wpa_psk, wpa_passphrase,
565 wpa_key_mgmt, wpa_pairwise, wpa_group_rekey, wpa_gmk_rekey,
566 rsn_preauth, rsn_preauth_interfaces
567 * fixed interim accounting to remove any pending accounting messages
568 to the STA before sending a new one
571 * added support for Acct-Interim-Interval:
572 - draft-ietf-radius-acct-interim-01.txt
573 - use Acct-Interim-Interval attribute from Access-Accept if local
574 'radius_acct_interim_interval' is not set
575 - allow different update intervals for each STA
576 * fixed event loop to call signal handlers only after returning from
577 the real signal handler
578 * reset sta->timeout_next after successful association to make sure
579 that the previously registered inactivity timer will not remove the
580 STA immediately (e.g., if STA deauthenticates and re-associates
581 before the timer is triggered).
582 * added new hostapd.conf variable, nas_identifier, that can be used to
583 add an optional RADIUS Attribute, NAS-Identifier, into authentication
584 and accounting messages
585 * added support for Accounting-On and Accounting-Off messages
586 * fixed accounting session handling to send Accounting-Start only once
587 per session and not to send Accounting-Stop if the session was not
589 * fixed Accounting-Stop statistics in cases where the message was
590 previously sent after the kernel entry for the STA (and/or IEEE
591 802.1X data) was removed
596 Older changes up to and including v0.1.0 are included in the ChangeLog
597 of the Host AP driver.
