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
