Add an UCI option to enable Multiple BSSID Advertisement. Enabling this
will announce all BSSIDS on a phy in a single beacon frame. The
interface that is brought up first will be the transmitting profile, all
others are non-transmitting profiles and will be advertised in the
Multiple BSSID element in Beacon and Probe Response frames of the first
interface.
This depends on driver and client support. Enabling this will result in
all but the first interface not being visible at all for clients that do

This patch fixes a corner case when using passwords that are exactly 64
characters in length with mesh mode or passwords longer than 63 characters
with SAE because 'psk' is used instead of 'sae_password'.
SAE is obligatory for 802.11s (mesh point).
The 'psk' option for hostapd is suited for WPA2 and enforces length
restrictions on passwords. Values of 64 characters are treated as PMKs.
With SAE, PMKs are always generated during the handshake and there are no
length restrictions.
The 'sae_password' option is more suited for SAE and should be used
instead.
Before this patch, the 'sae_password' option is only used with mesh mode
passwords that are not 64 characters long.
As a consequence:
- mesh passwords can't be 64 characters in length
- SAE only works with passwords with lengths >8 and <=63 (due to psk
limitation).
Fix this by always using 'sae_password' with SAE/mesh and applying the PMK
differentiation only when PSK is used.

There are two feature currently altered by the multicast_to_unicast option.
1. bridge level multicast_to_unicast via IGMP snooping
2. hostapd/mac80211 config multicast_to_unicast setting
The hostapd/mac80211 setting has the side effect of converting *all* multicast
or broadcast traffic into per-station duplicated unicast traffic, which can
in some cases break expectations of various protocols.
It also has been observed to cause ARP lookup failure between stations
connected to the same interface.
The bridge level feature is much more useful, since it only covers actual
multicast traffic managed by IGMP, and it implicitly defaults to 1 already.
Renaming the hostapd/mac80211 option to multicast_to_unicast_all should avoid
unintentionally enabling this feature

This PR allows a user to enable a private psk, where each station
may have it's own psk or use a common psk if it is not defined.
The private psk is defined using the sta's mac and a radius server
is required.
ppsk option should be enabled in the wireless configuration along with
radius server details. When using PPSK, the key is ignored, it will be
retrieved from radius server. SAE is not yet supported (private sae) in
hostapd.
Wireless example configuration:
option encryption 'psk2+ccmp'
option ppsk '1'
option auth_server '127.0.0.1'
option auth_secret 'radiusServerPassword'
If you want to use dynamic VLAN on PPSK also include:
option dynamic_vlan '2'
option vlan_tagged_interface 'eth0'
option vlan_bridge 'br-vlan'
option vlan_naming '0'
It works enabling mac address verification on radius server and
requiring the tunnel-password (the private psk) from radius server.
In the radius server we need to configure the users. In case of
freeradius: /etc/freeradius3/mods-config/files/authorize
The user and Cleartext-Password should be the mac lower case using the
format "aabbccddeeff"
<sta mac> Cleartext-Password := "<sta mac>"
Tunnel-Password = <Private Password>
Example of a user configured in radius and using dynamic VLAN5:
8cb84a000000 Cleartext-Password := "8cb84a000000"
Tunnel-Type = VLAN,
Tunnel-Medium-Type = IEEE-802,
Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = 5,
Tunnel-Password = MyPrivPw
If we want to have a default or shared psk, used when the mac is not
found in the list, we need to add the following at the end of the radius
authorize file:
DEFAULT Auth-Type := Accept
Tunnel-Password = SharedPw
And if using VLANs, for example VLAN6 for default users:
DEFAULT Auth-Type := Accept
Tunnel-Type = VLAN,
Tunnel-Medium-Type = IEEE-802,
Tunnel-Private-Group-ID = 6,
Tunnel-Password = SharedPw

This patch allows the user to set `auth_server` and related settings on
non WPA2 Enterprise AP modes in `/etc/config/wireless`, too, so the
Radius Attributes for Dynamic VLAN Assignment can be fetched from Radius.
Without this patch, `auth_server` and other needed options are only
written to `hostapd-phy<n>.conf` when `option encryption wpa2` is set.
`hostapd` however supports "Station MAC address -based authentication" for
non WPA Enterprise Modes, too.
A classic approch is to use `accept_mac_file` which contains MAC addr
and VLAN-ID pairs. But, using `accept_mac_file` does not support
VLAN assignment for unknown stations.
This is a sample `freeradius3` config, where a known station
("7e:a6:a7:2a:93:d2") is assigned to VLAN `65` and unknown stations are
assigned to VLAN `67`.
```
"7ea6a72a93d2" Cleartext-Password := "7ea6a72a93d2"
Tunnel-Type = "VLAN",
Tunnel-Medium-Type = "IEEE-802",
Tunnel-Private-Group-Id = 65
DEFAULT Cleartext-Password := "%{User-Name}"
Tunnel-Type = "VLAN",
Tunnel-Medium-Type = "IEEE-802",
Tunnel-Private-Group-Id = 67
```
Other option is to configure known stations via `accept_mac_file` and
using only Radius for unknown stations.
I tested this patch only with `wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK`, and assumed that
it should work with other Encryption/Access Mode, too.

Enable both the hunting-and-pecking loop and hash-to-element mechanisms
by default in OpenWRT with SAE.
Commercial Wi-Fi solutions increasingly frequently now ship with both
hunting-and-pecking and hash-to-element (H2E) enabled by default as this
is more secure and more performant than offering hunting-and-pecking
alone for H2E capable clients.
The hunting and pecking loop mechanism is inherently fragile and prone to
timing-based side channels in its design and is more computationally
intensive to perform. Hash-to-element (H2E) is its long-term
replacement to address these concerns.
For clients that only support the hunting-and-pecking loop mechanism,
this is still available to use by default.
For clients that in addition support, or were to require, the
hash-to-element (H2E) mechanism, this is then available for use.

Up to now the WPS script triggered WPS on the stations only if it
could not trigger it successfully on any hostapd instance.
In a Multi-AP context, there can be a need (to establish a new
wireless backhaul link) to trigger WPS on the stations, regardless of
whether there is already a hostapd instance configured or not. The
current script makes it impossible, as if hostapd is running and
configured, WPS would always be triggered on hostapd only.
To allow both possibilities, the following changes are made:
- Change the "pressed" action to "release", so that we can make use of
the "$SEEN" variables (to know for how long the button was pressed).
- If the button is pressed for less than 3 seconds, keep the original
behavior.
- If the button is pressed for 3 seconds or more, trigger WPS on the
stations, regardless of the status of any running hostapd instance.
- Add comments explaining both behaviors.
- While at it, replace the usage of '-a' with a '[] && []'
construct (see [1]).
This gives users a "fallback" mechanism to onboard a device to a
Multi-AP network, even if the device already has a configured hostapd
instance running.

With the default configuration we generate, the supplicant starts
scanning and tries to connect to any open network when the interface
is enabled.
In some cases it can be desirable to prevent the supplicant from
scanning by itself. For example, if on the same radio an AP is
configured and an unconfigured STA is added (to be configured with
WPS), the AP might not be able to beacon until the STA stops
scanning.
In such a case, the STA configuration can still be required to set
specific settings (e.g. multi_ap_backhaul_sta) so it can't be set to
"disabled" in uci (because that would prevent the supplicant from
being run at all). The alternative is to add the "disabled" parameter
to the default network block in the supplicant configuration.
This patch adds a "default_disabled" setting in UCI which, when set,
adds the "disabled" parameter to the supplicant default network block.

Currently, EAPOLv2 (802.1X-2004) is used by default for legacy clients that
are not WPA2 (RSN) capable. These legacy clients are often intolerant to this
EAPOL version and fail to connect.
hostapd.conf upstream documents for eapol_version the following and that this
is a known compatibility issue with version 2:
// IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL version
// hostapd is implemented based on IEEE Std 802.1X-2004 which defines EAPOL
// version 2. However, there are many client implementations that do not handle
// the new version number correctly (they seem to drop the frames completely).
// In order to make hostapd interoperate with these clients, the version number
// can be set to the older version (1) with this configuration value.
// Note: When using MACsec, eapol_version shall be set to 3, which is
// defined in IEEE Std 802.1X-2010.
//eapol_version=2
For the wpa parameter, hostapd.conf upstream documents that this is a bitfield,
configured as follows:
// Enable WPA. Setting this variable configures the AP to require WPA (either
// WPA-PSK or WPA-RADIUS/EAP based on other configuration). For WPA-PSK, either
// wpa_psk or wpa_passphrase must be set and wpa_key_mgmt must include WPA-PSK.
// Instead of wpa_psk / wpa_passphrase, wpa_psk_radius might suffice.
// For WPA-RADIUS/EAP, ieee8021x must be set (but without dynamic WEP keys),
// RADIUS authentication server must be configured, and WPA-EAP must be included
// in wpa_key_mgmt.
// This field is a bit field that can be used to enable WPA (IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
// and/or WPA2 (full IEEE 802.11i/RSN):
// bit0 = WPA
// bit1 = IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2) (dot11RSNAEnabled)
// Note that WPA3 is also configured with bit1 since it uses RSN just like WPA2.
// In other words, for WPA3, wpa=2 is used the configuration (and
// wpa_key_mgmt=SAE for WPA3-Personal instead of wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK).
//wpa=2
For client compatibility therefore:
EAPOLv1 (802.1X-2001) should be used by default where WPA is enabled.
EAPOLv2 (802.1X-2004) should be used by default where WPA is disabled.
To fix this, we can therefore change in the script:
set_default eapol_version 0
To the following:
set_default eapol_version $((wpa & 1))
This therefore:
1) Sets eapol_version to 1 where WPA has been enabled via wpa bit0 being set.
2) Sets eapol_version to 0 where WPA has been disabled via wpa bit0 being unset.
For usual configurations that only have WPA2 enabled, EAPOLv2 is then used.

Set legacy_rates to 0 by default to disable 802.11b data rates by default.
The time has long come where 802.11b DSSS/CCK data rates should be disabled
by default in OpenWRT. Users in need of 802.11b client support can reasonably
enable these where they are needed.
The balance of equities has significantly, and for a long time, tipped
such that dropping backwards compatibility by default with 802.11b
devices is appropriate, proportionate and justified. By doing so,
management and control traffic is moved by default to a 20
MHz wide 6 Mb/s OFDM data rate instead of a 22 MHz wide 1 Mb/s DSSS data
rate. This is significantly more airtime efficient.
Signed-off-by: Nick Lowe <nick.lowe@gmail.com>
Add a cell_density option to configure data rates for normal, high and
very high cell density wireless deployments.
The purpose of using a minimum basic/mandatory data rate that is higher
than 6 Mb/s, or 5.5 Mb/s (802.11b compatible), in high cell density
environments is to transmit broadcast/multicast data frames using less
airtime or to reduce management overheads where significant co-channel
interference (CCI) exists and cannot be avoided.
Caution: Without careful design and validation, configuration of a too
high minimum basic/mandatory data rate can sacrifice connection stability
or disrupt the ability to reliably connect and authenticate for little to
no capacity benefit. This is because this configuration affects the
ability of clients to hear and demodulate management, control and
broadcast/multicast data frames.
Deployments that have not been specifically designed and validated are
usually best suited to use 6, 12 and 24 Mb/s as basic/mandatory data
rates.
Only usually seek to configure a 12 Mb/s, or 11 Mb/s (802.11b
compatible), minimum basic/mandatory rate in high cell density
deployments that have been designed and validated for this.
For many deployments, the minimum basic/mandatory data rate should not be
configured above 12 Mb/s to 18 Mb/s, 24 Mb/s or higher. Such a
configuration is only appropriate for use in very high cell density
deployment scenarios.
A cell_density of Very High (3) should only be used where a deployment
has a valid use case and has been designed and validated specifically for
this use, nearly always with highly directional antennas - an example
would be stadium deployments. For example, with a 24 Mb/s OFDM minimum
basic/mandatory data rate, approximately a -73 dBm RSSI is required to
decode frames. Many clients will not have roamed elsewhere by the time
that they experience -73 dBm and, where they do, they frequently may not
hear and be able to demodulate beacon, control or broadcast/multicast
data frames causing connectivity issues.
There is a myth that disabling lower basic/mandatory data rates will
improve roaming and avoid sticky clients. For 802.11n, 802.11ac and
802.11ax clients this is not correct as clients will shift to and use
lower MCS rates and not to the 802.11b or 802.11g/802.11a rates that are
able to be used as basic/mandatory data rates.
There is a myth that disabling lower basic/mandatory data rates will
ensure that clients only use higher data rates and that better
performance is assured. For 802.11n, 802.11ac and 802.11ax clients this
is not correct as clients will shift around and use MCS rates and not the
802.11b or 802.11g/802.11a rates that able to be used as basic/mandatory
data rates.

Setting cell_density to 0 does not configure data rates. This is the

Setting cell_density to 1 configures the basic/mandatory rates to the 5.5
and 11 Mb/s DSSS rates where legacy_rates is 1. Supported rates lower

2 - High Cell Density
Setting the cell_density to 2 configures the basic/mandatory rates to the
12 and 24 Mb/s OFDM rates where legacy_rates is 0. Supported rates lower
than the minimum basic/mandatory rate are not offered.
Setting the cell_density to 2 configures the basic/mandatory rates to the
11 Mb/s DSSS rate where legacy_rates is 1. Supported rates lower than the
minimum basic/mandatory rate are not offered.
3 - Very High Cell Density
Setting the cell_density to 3 configures the basic/mandatory rates to the
24 Mb/s OFDM rate where legacy_rates is 0. Supported rates lower than the
minimum basic/mandatory rate are not offered.
Setting the cell_density to 3 only has effect where legacy_rates is 0,
else this has the same effect as being configured with a cell_density of 2.
Where specified, the basic_rate and supported_rates options continue to
override both the cell_density and legacy_rates options.

Several variables in hostapd.sh can be used uninitialized in numerical
comparisons, causing errors in logread:
netifd: radio24 (1668): sh: out of range
Set defaults for those variables to silence those errors.

* Add support for passing airtime_sta_weight into hostapd configuration.
* Since that commit it is possible to configure station weights. Set higher
value for larger airtime share, lower for smaller share.
I have tested this functionality by modyfing /etc/config/wireless to:
config wifi-device 'radio0'
...
option airtime_mode '1'
config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
...
list airtime_sta_weight '01:02:03:04:05:06 1024'
Now, when the station associates with the access point it has been assigned
a higher weight value.

This adds missing config symbols for interworking as well as Hotspot 2.0
to the wpa_supplicant-full configuration.
These symbols were added to the hostapd-full configuration prior to this
commit. Without adding them to the wpa_supplicant configuration,
building of wpad-full fails.
Thanks to Rene for reaching out on IRC.

This adds configuration options to enable interworking for hostapd.
All options require iw_enabled to be set to 1 for a given VAP.
All IEEE802.11u related settings are supported with exception of the
venue information which will be added as separate UCI sections at a
later point.
The options use the same name as the ones from the hostapd.conf file
with a "iw_" prefix added.
All UCI configuration options are passed without further modifications
to hostapd with exceptions of the following options, whose elements can
be provided using UCI lis elements:
- iw_roaming_consortium
- iw_anqp_elem
- iw_nai_realm
- iw_domain_name
- iw_anqp_3gpp_cell_net

This adds support for enabling the FTM responder flag for the APs
extended capabilities. On supported hardware, enabling the ftm_responder
config key for a given AP will enable the FTM responder bit.
FTM support itself is unconditionally implemented in the devices
firmware (ath10k 2nd generation with 3.2.1.1 firmware). There's
currently no softmac implementation.
Also allow to configure LCI and civic location information which can be
transmitted to a FTM initiator.

Remove the ieee80211v option. It previously was required to be enabled
in order to use time_advertisement, time_zone, wnm_sleep_mode and
bss_transition, however it didn't enable any of these options by default.
Remove it, as configuring these options independently is enough.
This change does not influence the behavior of any already configured
setting.

Add support for per-BSS airtime weight configuration. This allows to set
a airtime weight per BSS as well as a ratio limit based on the weight.
Support for this feature is only enabled in the full flavors of hostapd.

for more information on the inner workings of the exposed settings.

The hostapd configuration logic is supposed to accept "option key" as
legacy alias for "option auth_secret". This particular fallback option
failed to work though because "key" was not a registered configuration
variable.
Fix this issue by registering the "key" option as well, similar to the
existing "server" nad "port" options.

If an existing "wpa_psk_file" is passed to hostapd, the "key" option may
be omitted.
While we're at it, also improve the passphrase length checking to ensure
that it is either exactly 64 bytes or 8 to 63 bytes.

When retrieving the PID for hostapd and wpa_supplicant via ubus the
wrong service name is currently used. This leads to the following error
in the log:
netifd: radio0 (1409): WARNING (wireless_add_process):
executable path /usr/sbin/wpad does not match process path (/proc/exe)
Fixing the service name retrieves the correct PID and therefore the
warning won't occur.

The sender domain has a DMARC Reject/Quarantine policy which disallows
sending mailing list messages using the original "From" header.
To mitigate this problem, the original message has been wrapped
automatically by the mailing list software.
Bringing up of station vlan fails if the optional mac entry isn't set.
The default mac "00:00:00:00:00:00", which should match all stations,
is mistakenly set to the non used variable "isolate". This results in
a wrong formatted .psk file which has to be "vlan_id mac key".

added procd support for managing hostapd and wpa_supplicant daemons

This brings back initial behaviour (introduced in 60fb4c92b6 ("hostapd:

found in '/sys/class/ieee80211'.
