hostapd/wpa_supplicant - new development release v0.6.6

Tue Nov 25 01:10:13 PST 2008

Hello Jouni Malinen
?Its nice?to hear about the new develompnet Release v0.6.6.
>updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
? ?mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
?? with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed).

There was no default configuration entry in "defconfig" of wpa_supplicant v0.6.6 for nl80211?
I configured it?similar to the hostapd v0.6.6CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211=y
CFLAGS += -I$(LIBNL)/include
LIBS += -L$(LIBNL)/lib
?
And I also enabled the MLME instructions to match with my linux mac80211 implementation.CONFIG_CLIENT_MLME=y
WIRELESS_DEV=/usr/src/wireless-testing
CFLAGS += -I$(WIRELESS_DEV)/net/mac80211

When I run # wpa_supplicant -dd -Dnl80211 -iwlan2 -puse_mlme=1 -c wpa_supplicant.ft_psk.conf
either for ath5k or ath9k, it always fails.userspace_mlme_allow_bssid_mismatch.patch?and vif_conf.patch?are there.
I get the following error.........
Failed to set interface wlan2 mode
Could not configure driver to use managed mode
nl80211: Using user space MLME
nl80211: Failed to enable userspace MLME

Does I am missing anything?
?

Subject: hostapd/wpa_supplicant - new development release v0.6.6

New versions of wpa_supplicant and hostapd were just
released and are now available from http://w1.fi/

This release is from the development branch (0.6.x). Please note that
the 0.5.x branch continues to be the current source of stable releases.

hostapd:
* added a new configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be used to
? enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks against
? TKIP deficiencies
* updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
? session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
? OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
? needed with that version anymore)
* changed channel flags configuration to read the information from
? the driver (e.g., via driver_nl80211 when using mac80211) instead of
? using hostapd as the source of the regulatory information (i.e.,
? information from CRDA is now used with mac80211); this allows 5 GHz
? channels to be used with hostapd (if allowed in the current
? regulatory domain)
* fixed EAP-TLS message processing for the last TLS message if it is
? large enough to require fragmentation (e.g., if a large Session
? Ticket data is included)
* fixed listen interval configuration for nl80211 drivers

wpa_supplicant:
* added Milenage SIM/USIM emulator for EAP-SIM/EAP-AKA
? (can be used to simulate test SIM/USIM card with a known private key;
? enable with CONFIG_SIM_SIMULATOR=y/CONFIG_USIM_SIMULATOR=y in .config
? and password="Ki:OPc"/password="Ki:OPc:SQN" in network configuration)
* added a new network configuration option, wpa_ptk_rekey, that can be
? used to enforce frequent PTK rekeying, e.g., to mitigate some attacks
? against TKIP deficiencies
* added an optional mitigation mechanism for certain attacks against
? TKIP by delaying Michael MIC error reports by a random amount of time
? between 0 and 60 seconds; this can be enabled with a build option
? CONFIG_DELAYED_MIC_ERROR_REPORT=y in .config
* fixed EAP-AKA to use RES Length field in AT_RES as length in bits,
? not bytes
* updated OpenSSL code for EAP-FAST to use an updated version of the
? session ticket overriding API that was included into the upstream
? OpenSSL 0.9.9 tree on 2008-11-15 (no additional OpenSSL patch is
? needed with that version anymore)
* updated userspace MLME instructions to match with the current Linux
? mac80211 implementation; please also note that this can only be used
? with driver_nl80211.c (the old code from driver_wext.c was removed)
* added support (Linux only) for RoboSwitch chipsets (often found in
? consumer grade routers); driver interface 'roboswitch'
* fixed canceling of PMKSA caching when using drivers that generate
? RSN IE and refuse to drop PMKIDs that wpa_supplicant does not know
? about
