With this patch, wpa_supplicant will always be used for mac80211-based drivers in client mode. This will break client mode for images that don't include wpa_supplicant or wpad, so maybe I need to add a check somewhere to see if wpa_supplicant is available, and show the user a warning if he tries client mode without wpa_supplicant. Suggestions on where to add this check are welcome. Tested with ath5k in client mode on open and wpa2-psk network, and tested on my ath9k based AP as well to make sure it doesn't break AP mode. git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@19718 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73 --- diff --git a/package/hostapd/files/wpa_supplicant.sh b/package/hostapd/files/wpa_supplicant.sh index ccf31baa9..97a00829d 100644 --- a/package/hostapd/files/wpa_supplicant.sh +++ b/package/hostapd/files/wpa_supplicant.sh @@ -6,7 +6,10 @@ wpa_supplicant_setup_vif() { # wpa_supplicant should use wext for mac80211 cards [ "$driver" = "mac80211" ] && driver='wext' - # make sure we have the psk + # make sure we have the encryption type and the psk + [ -n "$enc" ] || { + config_get enc "$vif" encryption + } [ -n "$key" ] || { config_get key "$vif" key } diff --git a/package/mac80211/files/lib/wifi/mac80211.sh b/package/mac80211/files/lib/wifi/mac80211.sh index 27e234d83..257277a28 100644 --- a/package/mac80211/files/lib/wifi/mac80211.sh +++ b/package/mac80211/files/lib/wifi/mac80211.sh @@ -234,7 +234,6 @@ enable_mac80211() { } config_set "$vif" ifname "$ifname" - config_get enc "$vif" encryption config_get mode "$vif" mode config_get ssid "$vif" ssid @@ -288,60 +287,19 @@ enable_mac80211() { [ "$mode" = "ap" ] || ifconfig "$ifname" hw ether "$vif_mac" config_set "$vif" macaddr "$vif_mac" - # Valid values are: - # wpa / wep / none - # # !! ap !! # # ALL ap functionality will be passed to hostapd # - # !! mesh / adhoc / station !! - # none -> NO encryption + # !! station !! # - # wep + keymgmt = '' -> we use iw to connect to the - # network. + # ALL station functionality will be passed to wpa_supplicant # - # wep + keymgmt = 'NONE' -> wpa_supplicant will be - # configured to handle the wep connection if [ !
