Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Just attached a fix for both problems. I need to get access to a LEAP AP
to finish up the testing. I should be able to do that tomorrow.
Problem 1 - unencrypted EAPOL frames were accepted even when they
shouldn't be. This is fixed by the changes to ieee80211_input.c
Problem 2 - method of specifying the authentication type (open vs WEP
shared) was very funky. For example, consider these two sets of commands
for configuring access to a WEP enabled AP using "open system"
authentication.
{{{
Example A:
iwconfig ath0 key <key>
iwpriv ath0 authmode 1
Example B:
iwpriv ath0 authmode 1
iwconfig ath0 key <key>
}}}
Example A would fail. Example B would work. The reason A failed was that
the "authmode" command was tampering with the "privacy" flag on the VAP.
I've changed things so that the authentication algorithm and the privacy
flag are decoupled. The privacy flag was already being set as soon as the
encryption keys were specified.
