Hello, Recently, I've adjusted wpa_supplicant 2.8 to my project and met an weird issue when I tried to connect two devices as p2p mode. Anyway, I've found that the patch which is related to the external authentication support is related to the issue. https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/?id=236e793e7b8b96f7ad3e9aa3ea83b7c7c83b43fa It changed to call nl80211_register_frame of WLAN_FC_STYPE_AUTH when bss->drv->device_ap_sme is true. What I want to know is that if WLAN_FC_TYPE_AUTH should be registered always when bss->drv->device_ap_sme is true. I thought that it might be added for supporting SAE, but my driver doesn't work properly because WLAN_FC_TYPE_AUTH is registered even when I don't use SAE. I'm sorry that I don't understand fully what the patch was for. Could you share any idea on it? diff --git a/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c b/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c index 661e34e..b934c84 100644 --- a/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c +++ b/src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c @@ -2469,6 +2469,16 @@ static int nl80211_mgmt_subscribe_ap_dev_sme(struct i802_bss *bss) if (nl80211_action_subscribe_ap(bss)) goto out_err; + if (bss->drv->device_ap_sme) { + u16 type = (WLAN_FC_TYPE_MGMT << 2) | (WLAN_FC_STYPE_AUTH << 4); + + /* Register for all Authentication frames */ + if (nl80211_register_frame(bss, bss->nl_mgmt, type, NULL, 0) + < 0) + wpa_printf(MSG_DEBUG, + "nl80211: Failed to subscribe to handle Authentication frames - SAE offload may not work"); + } + nl80211_mgmt_handle_register_eloop(bss); return 0; Best regards, Semun _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
