[PATCH 0/4] nl80211/mac80211: Fix station mode key setup issues

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

 



When using nl80211, we cannot currently set drop_unencrypted flag that
was used with WEXT to avoid need for IEEE 802.1X port control in station
mode. Because of this, we cannot currently set the keys in a secure way.
In addition, we do not support setting the expected RSC for keys either
with WEXT or nl80211 which is needed to avoid leaving a window for
replaying broadcast frames.

This set of patches addresses these issues and allows nl80211 to
securely set up keys in station mode. This is on top of the pending
MFP patches, RX-drop-unencrypted-based-on-key-setup, and WEXT key
handling to cfg80211 patches (from Johannes).
