Extended Key ID updates

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So I've now basically a V8 of the series which applies cleanly to the
current HEAD with next to no "real" code changes I could send out if that's
useful for you. (I just have to run the tests to see if one of the new tests
needs some tweaking, too.)

Since you've already rebased, yes, it would probably be easiest if you
sent a full new set since I have not yet found time to finish going
through the previous fixes.


I've again some improvements for the patch series ready but there is
already more tweaking I can do.

Since the patches 1-7 of he series remain unchanged I think I'll just
wait on feedback for those and not post a new series for now. If you
prefer more frequent updates I can of course just wrap up and release
the next version instead...

The improvements of the Extended Key ID patches are (so far) nothing
fundamental. Here are the highlights:
- handle_extended_key_id() for wpa_supplicant no longer needs the rsn_ie
  as an argument and uses the ap_rsn_ie instead.

- The above tweak needs a separate fix which will probably also be
  part of the next patch set but it's basically independent. (It also
  should avoid an extra scan on connect in many cases.)

- OSEN/HS20 Extended Key ID support preparations will be dropped. After
  studying OSEN it seems to be unable to handle Extended Key ID without
  some violation of the Extended Key ID or OSEN standards. (They really
  seem to have added the RSN capabilities to the wrong IE, allowing it
  to advertise only the AP features...)

- I also have a standalone wpa_supplicant OSEN patch which needs some
  more testing but seems to be solid. It's basically filling in the few
  remaining gaps to handle OSEN elements with the existing RSN functions
  and checks.   (With a HS20 compatible way to actually inform the AP
  that the client STA is able to handle Extended Key ID this would
  basically complete the wpa_supplicant support for it. We only would
  have to enable it..)
