Driver interface API definition.
This structure defines the API that each driver interface needs to implement for core wpa_supplicant code. All driver specific functionality is captured in this wrapper.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::add_pmkid)(void *priv, const u8 *bssid, const u8 *pmkid) |
Add PMKSA cache entry to the driver.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| bssid | BSSID for the PMKSA cache entry |
| pmkid | PMKID for the PMKSA cache entry |
This function is called when a new PMK is received, as a result of either normal authentication or RSN pre-authentication.
If the driver generates RSN IE, i.e., it does not use wpa_ie in associate(), add_pmkid() can be used to add new PMKSA cache entries in the driver. If the driver uses wpa_ie from wpa_supplicant, this driver_ops function does not need to be implemented. Likewise, if the driver does not support WPA, this function is not needed.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::add_sta_node)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, u16 auth_alg) |
Add a station node in the driver.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| addr | MAC address of the station to add |
| auth_alg | authentication algorithm used by the station |
This function adds the station node in the driver, when the station gets added by FT-over-DS.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::add_tspec)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, u8 *tspec_ie, size_t tspec_ielen) |
Add traffic stream.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| addr | MAC address of the station to associate |
| tspec_ie | tspec ie buffer |
| tspec_ielen | tspec ie length |
This function adds the traffic steam for the station and fills the medium_time in tspec_ie.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::ampdu)(void *priv, int ampdu) |
Enable/disable aggregation.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| ampdu | 1/0 = enable/disable A-MPDU aggregation |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::associate)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_associate_params *params) |
Request driver to associate.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| params | association parameters |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::authenticate)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_auth_params *params) |
Request driver to authenticate.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| params | authentication parameters |
This is an optional function that can be used with drivers that support separate authentication and association steps, i.e., when wpa_supplicant can act as the SME. If not implemented, associate() function is expected to take care of IEEE 802.11 authentication, too.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::cancel_remain_on_channel)(void *priv) |
Cancel remain-on-channel operation.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This command can be used to cancel a remain-on-channel operation before its originally requested duration has passed. This could be used, e.g., when remain_on_channel() is used to request extra time to receive a response to an Action frame and the response is received when there is still unneeded time remaining on the remain-on-channel operation.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::commit)(void *priv) |
Optional commit changes handler (AP only)
| priv | driver private data |
This optional handler function can be registered if the driver interface implementation needs to commit changes (e.g., by setting network interface up) at the end of initial configuration. If set, this handler will be called after initial setup has been completed.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::deauthenticate)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, int reason_code) |
Request driver to deauthenticate.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| addr | peer address (BSSID of the AP) |

| void(* wpa_driver_ops::deinit)(void *priv) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::deinit_ap)(void *priv) |
Deinitialize AP mode.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This optional function can be used to disable AP mode related configuration and change the driver mode to station mode to allow normal station operations like scanning to be completed.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::deinit_p2p_cli)(void *priv) |
Deinitialize P2P client mode.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This optional function can be used to disable P2P client mode. It can be used to change the interface type back to station mode.

| reason_code | 16-bit reason code to be sent in the disassociation frame |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::flush)(void *priv) |
Flush all association stations (AP only)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This function requests the driver to disassociate all associated stations. This function does not need to be implemented if the driver does not process association frames internally.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::flush_pmkid)(void *priv) |
Flush PMKSA cache.
| priv | private driver interface data |
This function is called when the supplicant drops all PMKSA cache entries for any reason.
If the driver generates RSN IE, i.e., it does not use wpa_ie in associate(), remove_pmkid() can be used to synchronize PMKSA caches between the driver and wpa_supplicant. If the driver uses wpa_ie from wpa_supplicant, this driver_ops function does not need to be implemented. Likewise, if the driver does not support WPA, this function is not needed.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::get_bssid)(void *priv, u8 *bssid) |
Get the current BSSID.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| bssid | buffer for BSSID (ETH_ALEN = 6 bytes) |
Query kernel driver for the current BSSID and copy it to bssid. Setting bssid to 00:00:00:00:00:00 is recommended if the STA is not associated.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::get_capa)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_capa *capa) |
Get driver capabilities.
| priv | private driver interface data |
Get driver/firmware/hardware capabilities.

| num_modes | Variable for returning the number of returned modes flags: Variable for returning hardware feature flags |
| const char*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_ifname)(void *priv) |
Get interface name.
| priv | private driver interface data |
This optional function can be used to allow the driver interface to replace the interface name with something else, e.g., based on an interface mapping from a more descriptive name.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::get_inact_sec)(void *priv, const u8 *addr) |
Get station inactivity duration (AP only)

| const u8*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_mac_addr)(void *priv) |
Get own MAC address.
| priv | private driver interface data |
This optional function can be used to get the own MAC address of the device from the driver interface code. This is only needed if the l2_packet implementation for the OS does not provide easy access to a MAC address.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::get_noa)(void *priv, u8 *buf, size_t buf_len) |
Get current Notice of Absence attribute payload.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| buf | Buffer for returning NoA |
| buf_len | Buffer length in octets |
This function is used to fetch the current Notice of Absence attribute value from GO.
| const char*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_radio_name)(void *priv) |
Get physical radio name for the device.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
The returned data must not be modified by the caller. It is assumed that any interface that has the same radio name as another is sharing the same physical radio. This information can be used to share scan results etc. information between the virtual interfaces to speed up various operations.
struct wpa_scan_results*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_scan_results2)(void *priv) [read] |
Fetch the latest scan results.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::get_seqnum)(const char *ifname, void *priv, const u8 *addr, int idx, u8 *seq) |
Fetch the current TSC/packet number (AP only)
| ifname | The interface name (main or virtual) |
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| addr | MAC address of the station or NULL for group keys |
| idx | Key index |
| seq | Buffer for returning the latest used TSC/packet number |
This function is used to fetch the last used TSC/packet number for a TKIP, CCMP, or BIP/IGTK key. It is mainly used with group keys, so there is no strict requirement on implementing support for unicast keys (i.e., addr != NULL).
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::get_ssid)(void *priv, u8 *ssid) |
Get the current SSID.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| ssid | buffer for SSID (at least 32 bytes) |
Query kernel driver for the current SSID and copy it to ssid. Returning zero is recommended if the STA is not associated.
Note: SSID is an array of octets, i.e., it is not nul terminated and can, at least in theory, contain control characters (including nul) and as such, should be processed as binary data, not a printable string.
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::global_deinit)(void *priv) |
Global driver deinitialization.
| priv | private driver global data from global_init() |
Terminate any global driver related functionality and free the global data structure.
| void*(* wpa_driver_ops::global_init)(void) |
Global driver initialization.
This optional function is called to initialize the driver wrapper for global data, i.e., data that applies to all interfaces. If this function is implemented, global_deinit() will also need to be implemented to free the private data. The driver will also likely use init2() function instead of init() to get the pointer to global data available to per-interface initializer.
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_deinit)(void *priv) |
Deinitialize driver interface (hostapd only)
| priv | Private driver interface data from hapd_init() |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_get_ssid)(void *priv, u8 *buf, int len) |
Get the current SSID (AP only)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| buf | Buffer for returning the SSID |
| len | Maximum length of the buffer |
This function need not be implemented if the driver uses Beacon template from set_ap() and does not reply to Probe Request frames.
| void*(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_init)(struct hostapd_data *hapd, struct wpa_init_params *params) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_send_eapol)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, const u8 *data, size_t data_len, int encrypt, const u8 *own_addr, u32 flags) |

| encrypt | Whether the frame should be encrypted |
| own_addr | Source MAC address |
| flags | WPA_STA_* flags for the destination station |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_set_countermeasures)(void *priv, int enabled) |
Enable/disable TKIP countermeasures (AP)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| enabled | 1 = countermeasures enabled, 0 = disabled |
This need not be implemented if the driver does not take care of association processing.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_set_ssid)(void *priv, const u8 *buf, int len) |
Set SSID (AP only)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| buf | SSID |

Initialize driver interface.
| ctx | context to be used when calling wpa_supplicant functions, e.g., wpa_supplicant_event() |
| ifname | interface name, e.g., wlan0 |
Initialize driver interface, including event processing for kernel driver events (e.g., associated, scan results, Michael MIC failure). This function can allocate a private configuration data area for
| ctx | file descriptor, interface name, etc. information that may be needed in future driver operations. If this is not used, non-NULL value will need to be returned because NULL is used to indicate failure. The returned value will be used as 'void *priv' data for all other driver_ops functions. |
The main event loop (eloop.c) of wpa_supplicant can be used to register callback for read sockets (eloop_register_read_sock()).
See below for more information about events and wpa_supplicant_event() function.
| void*(* wpa_driver_ops::init2)(void *ctx, const char *ifname, void *global_priv) |

| ctx | context to be used when calling wpa_supplicant functions, e.g., wpa_supplicant_event() |
| ifname | interface name, e.g., wlan0 |
| global_priv | private driver global data from global_init() |
This function can be used instead of init() if the driver wrapper uses global data.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::mlme_setprotection)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, int protect_type, int key_type) |
MLME-SETPROTECTION.request primitive.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| addr | Address of the station for which to set protection (may be NULL for group keys) |
| protect_type | MLME_SETPROTECTION_PROTECT_TYPE_* |
| key_type | MLME_SETPROTECTION_KEY_TYPE_* |
This is an optional function that can be used to set the driver to require protection for Tx and/or Rx frames. This uses the layer interface defined in IEEE 802.11i-2004 clause 10.3.22.1 (MLME-SETPROTECTION.request). Many drivers do not use explicit set protection operation; instead, they set protection implicitly based on configured keys.

| int(* wpa_driver_ops::p2p_group_formation_failed)(void *priv) |
Report failed WPS provisioning.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This function is used to report failed group formation. This can happen either due to failed WPS provisioning or due to 15 second timeout during the provisioning phase.
This function is only used if the driver implements P2P management, i.e., if it sets WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT in struct wpa_driver_capa.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::p2p_invite)(void *priv, const u8 *peer, int role, const u8 *bssid, const u8 *ssid, size_t ssid_len, const u8 *go_dev_addr, int persistent_group) |

Start P2P Listen state for specified duration.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| timeout | Listen state duration in milliseconds |
This function can be used to request the P2P module to keep the device discoverable on the listen channel for an extended set of time. At least in its current form, this is mainly used for testing purposes and may not be of much use for normal P2P operations.
This function is only used if the driver implements P2P management, i.e., if it sets WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT in struct wpa_driver_capa.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::p2p_prov_disc_req)(void *priv, const u8 *peer_addr, u16 config_methods, int join) |
Send Provision Discovery Request.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| peer_addr | MAC address of the peer P2P client |
| config_methods | WPS Config Methods value (only one bit set) |
This function can be used to request a discovered P2P peer to display a PIN (config_methods = WPS_CONFIG_DISPLAY) or be prepared to enter a PIN from us (config_methods = WPS_CONFIG_KEYPAD). The Provision Discovery Request frame is transmitted once immediately and if no response is received, the frame will be sent again whenever the target device is discovered during device dsicovery (start with a p2p_find() call). Response from the peer is indicated with the EVENT_P2P_PROV_DISC_RESPONSE event.
This function is only used if the driver implements P2P management, i.e., if it sets WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT in struct wpa_driver_capa.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::p2p_reject)(void *priv, const u8 *addr) |

| int(* wpa_driver_ops::p2p_service_update)(void *priv) |
Indicate a change in local services.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This function needs to be called whenever there is a change in availability of the local services. This will increment the Service Update Indicator value which will be used in SD Request and Response frames.
This function is only used if the driver implements P2P management, i.e., if it sets WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT in struct wpa_driver_capa.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::p2p_set_params)(void *priv, const struct p2p_params *params) |
Set P2P parameters.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| params | P2P parameters |
This function is only used if the driver implements P2P management, i.e., if it sets WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT in struct wpa_driver_capa.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::p2p_stop_find)(void *priv) |
Stop P2P Device Discovery.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This function is only used if the driver implements P2P management, i.e., if it sets WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_P2P_MGMT in struct wpa_driver_capa.
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::poll)(void *priv) |
Poll driver for association information.
| priv | private driver interface data |
This is an option callback that can be used when the driver does not provide event mechanism for association events. This is called when receiving WPA EAPOL-Key messages that require association information. The driver interface is supposed to generate associnfo event before returning from this callback function. In addition, the driver interface should generate an association event after having sent out associnfo.
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::poll_client)(void *priv, const u8 *own_addr, const u8 *addr, int qos) |
Probe (null data or such) the given station.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| own_addr | MAC address of sending interface |
| addr | MAC address of the station to probe |
| qos | Indicates whether station is QoS station |
This function is used to verify whether an associated station is still present. This function does not need to be implemented if the driver provides such inactivity polling mechanism.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::probe_req_report)(void *priv, int report) |
Request Probe Request frames to be indicated.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| report | Whether to report received Probe Request frames |
This command can be used to request the driver to indicate when Probe Request frames are received with EVENT_RX_PROBE_REQ events. Since this operation may require extra resources, e.g., due to less optimal hardware/firmware RX filtering, many drivers may disable Probe Request reporting at least in station mode. This command is used to notify the driver when the Probe Request frames need to be reported, e.g., during remain-on-channel operations.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::radio_disable)(void *priv, int disabled) |
Disable/enable radio.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| disabled | 1=disable 0=enable radio |
This optional command is for testing purposes. It can be used to disable the radio on a testbed device to simulate out-of-radio-range conditions.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::read_sta_data)(void *priv, struct hostap_sta_driver_data *data, const u8 *addr) |
Fetch station data (AP only)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| data | Buffer for returning station information |

Remain awake on a channel.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| freq | Frequency (in MHz) of the channel |
| duration | Duration in milliseconds |
This command is used to request the driver to remain awake on the specified channel for the specified duration and report received Action frames with EVENT_RX_ACTION events. Optionally, received Probe Request frames may also be requested to be reported by calling probe_req_report(). These will be reported with EVENT_RX_PROBE_REQ.
The driver may not be at the requested channel when this function returns, i.e., the return code is only indicating whether the request was accepted. The caller will need to wait until the EVENT_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL event indicates that the driver has completed the channel change. This may take some time due to other need for the radio and the caller should be prepared to timing out its wait since there are no guarantees on when this request can be executed.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::remove_pmkid)(void *priv, const u8 *bssid, const u8 *pmkid) |
Remove PMKSA cache entry to the driver.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| bssid | BSSID for the PMKSA cache entry |
| pmkid | PMKID for the PMKSA cache entry |
This function is called when the supplicant drops a PMKSA cache entry for any reason.
If the driver generates RSN IE, i.e., it does not use wpa_ie in associate(), remove_pmkid() can be used to synchronize PMKSA caches between the driver and wpa_supplicant. If the driver uses wpa_ie from wpa_supplicant, this driver_ops function does not need to be implemented. Likewise, if the driver does not support WPA, this function is not needed.
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::resume)(void *priv) |
Notification on system resume/thaw event.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::scan2)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_scan_params *params) |
Request the driver to initiate scan.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| params | Scan parameters |
Once the scan results are ready, the driver should report scan results event for wpa_supplicant which will eventually request the results with wpa_driver_get_scan_results2().
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::sched_scan)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_scan_params *params, u32 interval) |
Request the driver to initiate scheduled scan.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| params | Scan parameters |
| interval | Interval between scan cycles in milliseconds |
This operation should be used for scheduled scan offload to the hardware. Every time scan results are available, the driver should report scan results event for wpa_supplicant which will eventually request the results with wpa_driver_get_scan_results2(). This operation is optional and if not provided or if it returns -1, we fall back to normal host-scheduled scans.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_action)(void *priv, unsigned int freq, unsigned int wait, const u8 *dst, const u8 *src, const u8 *bssid, const u8 *data, size_t data_len, int no_cck) |

| freq | Frequency (in MHz) of the channel |
| wait | Time to wait off-channel for a response (in ms), or zero |
| dst | Destination MAC address (Address 1) |
| src | Source MAC address (Address 2) |
| bssid | BSSID (Address 3) |
| data | Frame body |
| data_len | data length in octets @ : Whether CCK rates must not be used to transmit this frame |
This command can be used to request the driver to transmit an action frame to the specified destination.
If the WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_OFFCHANNEL_TX flag is set, the frame will be transmitted on the given channel and the device will wait for a response on that channel for the given wait time.
If the flag is not set, the wait time will be ignored. In this case, if a remain-on-channel duration is in progress, the frame must be transmitted on that channel; alternatively the frame may be sent on the current operational channel (if in associated state in station mode or while operating as an AP.)
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::send_action_cancel_wait)(void *priv) |
Cancel action frame TX wait.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
This command cancels the wait time associated with sending an action frame. It is only available when WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_OFFCHANNEL_TX is set in the driver flags.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_eapol)(void *priv, const u8 *dest, u16 proto, const u8 *data, size_t data_len) |

| priv | private driver interface data |
| dest | Destination MAC address |
| proto | Ethertype |
| data | EAPOL packet starting with IEEE 802.1X header |
| data_len | Size of the EAPOL packet |
This optional function can be used to override l2_packet operations with driver specific functionality. If this function pointer is set, l2_packet module is not used at all and the driver interface code is responsible for receiving and sending all EAPOL packets. The received EAPOL packets are sent to core code with EVENT_EAPOL_RX event. The driver interface is required to implement get_mac_addr() handler if send_eapol() is used.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_ether)(void *priv, const u8 *dst, const u8 *src, u16 proto, const u8 *data, size_t data_len) |
Send an ethernet packet (AP only)
| priv | private driver interface data |
| dst | Destination MAC address |
| src | Source MAC address |
| proto | Ethertype |
| data | EAPOL packet starting with IEEE 802.1X header |
| data_len | Length of the EAPOL packet in octets |

| data | IEEE 802.11 frame with IEEE 802.11 header |
| data_len | Size of the frame |
| encrypt | Whether to encrypt the frame (if keys are set) |
This function is only used for debugging purposes and is not required to be implemented for normal operations.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_ft_action)(void *priv, u8 action, const u8 *target_ap, const u8 *ies, size_t ies_len) |
Send FT Action frame (IEEE 802.11r)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| action | Action field value |
| target_ap | Target AP address |
| ies | FT IEs (MDIE, FTIE, ...) (FT Request action frame body) |
| ies_len | Length of FT IEs in bytes |
The supplicant uses this callback to request the driver to transmit an FT Action frame (action category 6) for over-the-DS fast BSS transition.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_mlme)(void *priv, const u8 *data, size_t data_len, int noack) |
Send management frame from MLME.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| data | IEEE 802.11 management frame with IEEE 802.11 header |
| data_len | Size of the management frame |
| noack | Do not wait for this frame to be acked (disable retries) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_tdls_mgmt)(void *priv, const u8 *dst, u8 action_code, u8 dialog_token, u16 status_code, const u8 *buf, size_t len) |
for sending TDLS management packets
| priv | private driver interface data |
| dst | Destination (peer) MAC address |
| action_code | TDLS action code for the mssage |
| dialog_token | Dialog Token to use in the message (if needed) |
| status_code | Status Code or Reason Code to use (if needed) |
| buf | TDLS IEs to add to the message |
| len | Length of buf in octets |
This optional function can be used to send packet to driver which is responsible for receiving and sending all TDLS packets.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::set_ap)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_ap_params *params) |
Set Beacon and Probe Response information for AP mode.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| params | Parameters to use in AP mode |
This function is used to configure Beacon template and/or extra IEs to add for Beacon and Probe Response frames for the driver in AP mode. The driver is responsible for building the full Beacon frame by concatenating the head part with TIM IE generated by the driver/firmware and finishing with the tail part. Depending on the driver architectue, this can be done either by using the full template or the set of additional IEs (e.g., WPS and P2P IE). Similarly, Probe Response processing depends on the driver design. If the driver (or firmware) takes care of replying to Probe Request frames, the extra IEs provided here needs to be added to the Probe Response frames.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::set_ap_wps_ie)(void *priv, const struct wpabuf *beacon, const struct wpabuf *proberesp, const struct wpabuf *assocresp) |
Add WPS IE(s) into Beacon/Probe Response frames (AP)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| beacon | WPS IE(s) for Beacon frames or NULL to remove extra IE(s) |
| proberesp | WPS IE(s) for Probe Response frames or NULL to remove extra IE(s) |
| assocresp | WPS IE(s) for (Re)Association Response frames or NULL to remove extra IE(s) |
This is an optional function to add WPS IE in the kernel driver for Beacon and Probe Response frames. This can be left undefined (set to NULL) if the driver uses the Beacon template from set_ap() and does not process Probe Request frames. If the driver takes care of (Re)Association frame processing, the assocresp buffer includes WPS IE(s) that need to be added to (Re)Association Response frames whenever a (Re)Association Request frame indicated use of WPS.
This will also be used to add P2P IE(s) into Beacon/Probe Response frames when operating as a GO. The driver is responsible for adding timing related attributes (e.g., NoA) in addition to the IEs included here by appending them after these buffers. This call is also used to provide Probe Response IEs for P2P Listen state operations for drivers that generate the Probe Response frames internally.
DEPRECATED - use set_ap() instead
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::set_authmode)(void *priv, int authmode) |
Set authentication algorithm(s) for static WEP.
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| authmode | 1=Open System, 2=Shared Key, 3=both |
This function can be used to set authentication algorithms for AP mode when static WEP is used. If the driver uses user space MLME/SME implementation, there is no need to implement this function.
DEPRECATED - use set_ap() instead

Enable/disable TKIP countermeasures.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| enabled | 1 = countermeasures enabled, 0 = disabled |

| freq | Channel parameters |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::set_generic_elem)(void *priv, const u8 *elem, size_t elem_len) |
Add IEs into Beacon/Probe Response frames (AP)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| elem | Information elements |
| elem_len | Length of the elem buffer in octets |
This is an optional function to add information elements in the kernel driver for Beacon and Probe Response frames. This can be left undefined (set to NULL) if the driver uses the Beacon template from set_ap().
DEPRECATED - use set_ap() instead
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::set_ieee8021x)(void *priv, struct wpa_bss_params *params) |
Enable/disable IEEE 802.1X support (AP only)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| params | BSS parameters |
This is an optional function to configure the kernel driver to enable/disable IEEE 802.1X support and set WPA/WPA2 parameters. This can be left undefined (set to NULL) if IEEE 802.1X support is always enabled and the driver uses set_ap() to set WPA/RSN IE for Beacon frames.
DEPRECATED - use set_ap() instead
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::set_key)(const char *ifname, void *priv, enum wpa_alg alg, const u8 *addr, int key_idx, int set_tx, const u8 *seq, size_t seq_len, const u8 *key, size_t key_len) |
Configure encryption key.
| ifname | Interface name (for multi-SSID/VLAN support) |
| priv | private driver interface data |
| alg | encryption algorithm (WPA_ALG_NONE, WPA_ALG_WEP, WPA_ALG_TKIP, WPA_ALG_CCMP, WPA_ALG_IGTK, WPA_ALG_PMK); WPA_ALG_NONE clears the key. |
| addr | Address of the peer STA (BSSID of the current AP when setting pairwise key in station mode), ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff for broadcast keys, NULL for default keys that are used both for broadcast and unicast; when clearing keys, NULL is used to indicate that both the broadcast-only and default key of the specified key index is to be cleared |
| key_idx | key index (0..3), usually 0 for unicast keys; 0..4095 for IGTK |
| set_tx | configure this key as the default Tx key (only used when driver does not support separate unicast/individual key |
| seq | sequence number/packet number, seq_len octets, the next packet number to be used for in replay protection; configured for Rx keys (in most cases, this is only used with broadcast keys and set to zero for unicast keys); NULL if not set |
| seq_len | length of the seq, depends on the algorithm: TKIP: 6 octets, CCMP: 6 octets, IGTK: 6 octets |
| key | key buffer; TKIP: 16-byte temporal key, 8-byte Tx Mic key, 8-byte Rx Mic Key |
| key_len | length of the key buffer in octets (WEP: 5 or 13, TKIP: 32, CCMP: 16, IGTK: 16) |
Configure the given key for the kernel driver. If the driver supports separate individual keys (4 default keys + 1 individual), addr can be used to determine whether the key is default or individual. If only 4 keys are supported, the default key with key index 0 is used as the individual key. STA must be configured to use it as the default Tx key (set_tx is set) and accept Rx for all the key indexes. In most cases, WPA uses only key indexes 1 and 2 for broadcast keys, so key index 0 is available for this kind of configuration.
Please note that TKIP keys include separate TX and RX MIC keys and some drivers may expect them in different order than wpa_supplicant is using. If the TX/RX keys are swapped, all TKIP encrypted packets will trigger Michael MIC errors. This can be fixed by changing the order of MIC keys by swapping te bytes 16..23 and 24..31 of the key in driver_*.c set_key() implementation, see driver_ndis.c for an example on how this can be done.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::set_noa)(void *priv, u8 count, int start, int duration) |
Set Notice of Absence parameters for GO (testing)
| priv | Private driver interface data |
| count | Count |
| start | Start time in ms from next TBTT |

Sets device operating state to DORMANT or UP.
| priv | private driver interface data |
| state | 0 = dormant, 1 = up |
