IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication problem

[Rafa Marin Lopez]

Hi all,

I have been testing IEEE 802.11i pre-authentication and everything is ok 
except when STA moves to pre-authenticated AP. After the movement STA 
sends the PMKID to pre-authenticated AP but full EAP authentication is 
still run.

I have noticed that during pre-authentication PMKSA cache in the target 
AP is not set with the new PMK.

In particular,

"   if (wpa_auth_pmksa_add(sta->wpa_sm, key,
                                       dot11RSNAConfigPMKLifetime,
                                       sta->eapol_sm) == 0) {
                        hostapd_logger(hapd, sta->addr, HOSTAPD_MODULE_WPA,
                                       HOSTAPD_LEVEL_DEBUG,
                                       "added PMKSA cache entry 
(pre-auth)");
                }"

it does not add the PMKSA because sta->wpa_sm is NULL. Is this a bug?

Thanks.
