A new version of Prism2 Host AP driver was just released and it is now
available from http://people.ssh.com/jkm/Prism2/
2002-04-10
- fixed compilation with older Linux wireless extension versions
(at least version 9 is now required for most wireless extensions)
- kernel driver AP functionality code cleanup
- try to send broadcast deauthentication frames when shutting down
- use smaller default inactivity timeout with stations (5 min)
- send disassociation when 3/4 of inactivity timeout has passed and
deauthentication when full timeout has passed
- added support for WEP in Host AP mode
- card firmware is used to decrypt frames (it seems to work fine)
- encryption is performed in host driver since firmware does not
seem to want to encrypt frames correctly when in Host AP mode
- use 'restricted' as default WEP mode instead of 'open'
- WEP keys are saved in driver data, so SIOCGIWENCODE is now
returning real values and not the bogus values firmware returned
- 40-bit and 104-bit WEP seems to now be working properly in Host AP
mode (both with stations and with WDS links); (note that if
104-bit WEP is used, station firmware on AP must support 104-bit
WEP in order to decrypt frames)
- fixed a bug in fake-WDS frame generation
- if payload len was odd, the addr4 was broken in RX frames
- drop RX packets that have ToDS flag but wrong BSSID and RX packets
that have FromDS flag (these frames are usually broadcast/multicast
frames in other BSSes)
