struct wpa_driver_ops - 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_pmkid - Add PMKSA cache entry to the driver : private driver interface data : BSSID for the PMKSA cache entry : PMKID for the PMKSA cache entry
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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::associate)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_associate_params *params) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::authenticate)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_auth_params *params) |
authenticate - Request driver to authenticate : private driver interface data : authentication parameters Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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 - Cancel remain-on-channel operation : 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) |
commit - Optional commit changes handler (AP only) : driver private data Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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) |
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::deinit)(void *priv) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::deinit_ap)(void *priv) |
deinit_ap - Deinitialize AP mode : Private driver interface data Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure (or if not supported)
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.
| const char* wpa_driver_ops::desc |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::disable_11b_rates)(void *priv, int disabled) |
disable_11b_rates - Set whether IEEE 802.11b rates are used for TX : Private driver interface data : Whether IEEE 802.11b rates are disabled Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure (or if not supported)
This command is used to disable IEEE 802.11b rates (1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps) as TX rates for data and management frames. This can be used to optimize channel use when there is no need to support IEEE 802.11b-only devices.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::disassociate)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, int reason_code) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::flush)(void *priv) |
flush - Flush all association stations (AP only) : Private driver interface data Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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_pmkid - Flush PMKSA cache : private driver interface data
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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_bssid - Get the current BSSID : private driver interface data : buffer for BSSID (ETH_ALEN = 6 bytes)
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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) |
struct hostapd_hw_modes*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_hw_feature_data)(void *priv, u16 *num_modes, u16 *flags) [read] |
get_hw_feature_data - Get hardware support data (channels and rates) : Private driver interface data : Variable for returning the number of returned modes flags: Variable for returning hardware feature flags Returns: Pointer to allocated hardware data on success or NULL on failure. Caller is responsible for freeing this.
This function is only needed for drivers that export MLME (management frame processing) to wpa_supplicant or hostapd.
| const char*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_ifname)(void *priv) |
get_ifname - Get interface name : private driver interface data
Returns: Pointer to the interface name. This can differ from the interface name used in init() call. Init() is called first.
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) |
struct wpa_interface_info*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_interfaces)(void *global_priv) [read] |
get_interfaces - Get information about available interfaces : private driver global data from global_init() Returns: Allocated buffer of interface information (caller is responsible for freeing the data structure) on success, NULL on failure
| const u8*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_mac_addr)(void *priv) |
get_mac_addr - Get own MAC address : private driver interface data
Returns: Pointer to own MAC address or NULL on failure
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.
struct wpa_scan_results*(* wpa_driver_ops::get_scan_results2)(void *priv) [read] |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::get_seqnum)(const char *ifname, void *priv, const u8 *addr, int idx, u8 *seq) |
get_seqnum - Fetch the current TSC/packet number (AP only) : The interface name (main or virtual) : Private driver interface data : MAC address of the station or NULL for group keys : Key index : Buffer for returning the latest used TSC/packet number Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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_ssid - Get the current SSID : private driver interface data : buffer for SSID (at least 32 bytes)
Returns: Length of the SSID on success, -1 on failure
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_deinit - Global driver deinitialization : 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_init - Global driver initialization Returns: Pointer to private data (global), NULL on failure
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) |
hapd_deinit - Deinitialize driver interface (hostapd only) : Private driver interface data from hapd_init()
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_get_ssid)(void *priv, u8 *buf, int len) |
hapd_get_ssid - Get the current SSID (AP only) : Private driver interface data : Buffer for returning the SSID : Maximum length of the buffer Returns: Length of the SSID on success, -1 on failure
This function need not be implemented if the driver uses Beacon template from set_beacon() 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) |
hapd_send_eapol - Send an EAPOL packet (AP only) : private driver interface data : Destination MAC address : EAPOL packet starting with IEEE 802.1X header : Length of the EAPOL packet in octets : Whether the frame should be encrypted : Source MAC address
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::hapd_set_countermeasures)(void *priv, int enabled) |
hapd_set_countermeasures - Enable/disable TKIP countermeasures (AP) : Private driver interface data : 1 = countermeasures enabled, 0 = disabled Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::if_add)(void *priv, enum wpa_driver_if_type type, const char *ifname, const u8 *addr, void *bss_ctx, void **drv_priv, char *force_ifname, u8 *if_addr) |
if_add - Add a virtual interface : Private driver interface data : Interface type : Interface name for the new virtual interface : Local address to use for the interface or NULL to use the parent interface address : BSS context for WPA_IF_AP_BSS interfaces : Pointer for overwriting the driver context or NULL if not allowed (applies only to WPA_IF_AP_BSS type) : Buffer for returning an interface name that the driver ended up using if it differs from the requested ifname : Buffer for returning the allocated interface address (this may differ from the requested addr if the driver cannot change interface address) Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::if_remove)(void *priv, enum wpa_driver_if_type type, const char *ifname) |
| void*(* wpa_driver_ops::init)(void *ctx, const char *ifname) |
init - Initialize driver interface : context to be used when calling wpa_supplicant functions, e.g., wpa_supplicant_event() : interface name, e.g., wlan0
Returns: Pointer to private data, NULL on failure
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 , 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) |
init2 - Initialize driver interface (with global data) : context to be used when calling wpa_supplicant functions, e.g., wpa_supplicant_event() : interface name, e.g., wlan0 : private driver global data from global_init() Returns: Pointer to private data, NULL on failure
This function can be used instead of init() if the driver wrapper uses global data.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::mlme_add_sta)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, const u8 *supp_rates, size_t supp_rates_len) |
mlme_add_sta - Add a STA entry into the driver/netstack : Private driver interface data : MAC address of the STA (e.g., BSSID of the AP) : Supported rate set (from (Re)AssocResp); in IEEE 802.11 format (one octet per rate, 1 = 0.5 Mbps) : Number of entries in supp_rates Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
This function is only needed for drivers that export MLME (management frame processing) to wpa_supplicant. When the MLME code completes association with an AP, this function is called to configure the driver/netstack with a STA entry for data frame processing (TX rate control, encryption/decryption).
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::mlme_remove_sta)(void *priv, const u8 *addr) |
mlme_remove_sta - Remove a STA entry from the driver/netstack : Private driver interface data : MAC address of the STA (e.g., BSSID of the AP) Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
This function is only needed for drivers that export MLME (management frame processing) to wpa_supplicant.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::mlme_setprotection)(void *priv, const u8 *addr, int protect_type, int key_type) |
mlme_setprotection - MLME-SETPROTECTION.request primitive : Private driver interface data : Address of the station for which to set protection (may be NULL for group keys) : MLME_SETPROTECTION_PROTECT_TYPE_* : MLME_SETPROTECTION_KEY_TYPE_* Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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.
| const char* wpa_driver_ops::name |
| void(* wpa_driver_ops::poll)(void *priv) |
poll - Poll driver for association information : 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.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::probe_req_report)(void *priv, int report) |
probe_req_report - Request Probe Request frames to be indicated : Private driver interface data : Whether to report received Probe Request frames Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure (or if not supported)
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::read_sta_data)(void *priv, struct hostap_sta_driver_data *data, const u8 *addr) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::remain_on_channel)(void *priv, unsigned int freq, unsigned int duration) |
remain_on_channel - Remain awake on a channel : Private driver interface data : Frequency (in MHz) of the channel : Duration in milliseconds Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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_pmkid - Remove PMKSA cache entry to the driver : private driver interface data : BSSID for the PMKSA cache entry : PMKID for the PMKSA cache entry
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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) |
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::scan2)(void *priv, struct wpa_driver_scan_params *params) |
scan2 - Request the driver to initiate scan : private driver interface data : Scan parameters
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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::send_action)(void *priv, unsigned int freq, const u8 *dst, const u8 *src, const u8 *bssid, const u8 *data, size_t data_len) |
send_action - Transmit an Action frame : Private driver interface data : Frequency (in MHz) of the channel : Destination MAC address (Address 1) : Source MAC address (Address 2) : BSSID (Address 3) : Frame body : data length in octets Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
This command can be used to request the driver to transmit an action frame to the specified destination. If a remain-on-channel duration is in progress, the frame is transmitted on that channel. Otherwise, the frame is transmitted on the current operational channel if in associated state in station mode or if operating as an AP. If none of these conditions is in effect, send_action() cannot be used.
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_eapol)(void *priv, const u8 *dest, u16 proto, const u8 *data, size_t data_len) |
send_eapol - Optional function for sending EAPOL packets : private driver interface data : Destination MAC address : Ethertype : EAPOL packet starting with IEEE 802.1X header : Size of the EAPOL packet
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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_ether - Send an ethernet packet (AP only) : private driver interface data : Destination MAC address : Source MAC address : Ethertype : EAPOL packet starting with IEEE 802.1X header : Length of the EAPOL packet in octets Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
| int(* wpa_driver_ops::send_frame)(void *priv, const u8 *data, size_t data_len, int encrypt) |
send_frame - Send IEEE 802.11 frame (testing use only) : Private driver interface data : IEEE 802.11 frame with IEEE 802.11 header : Size of the frame : Whether to encrypt the frame (if keys are set) Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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 - Send FT Action frame (IEEE 802.11r) : Private driver interface data : Action field value : Target AP address : FT IEs (MDIE, FTIE, ...) (FT Request action frame body) : Length of FT IEs in bytes Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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) |
send_mlme - Send management frame from MLME : Private driver interface data : IEEE 802.11 management frame with IEEE 802.11 header : Size of the management frame Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure

set_key - Configure encryption key : Interface name (for multi-SSID/VLAN support) : private driver interface data : 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. : address of the peer STA or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff for broadcast/default keys : key index (0..3), usually 0 for unicast keys; 0..4095 for IGTK : configure this key as the default Tx key (only used when driver does not support separate unicast/individual key : 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) : length of the seq, depends on the algorithm: TKIP: 6 octets, CCMP: 6 octets, IGTK: 6 octets : key buffer; TKIP: 16-byte temporal key, 8-byte Tx Mic key, 8-byte Rx Mic Key : length of the key buffer in octets (WEP: 5 or 13, TKIP: 32, CCMP: 16, IGTK: 16)
Returns: 0 on success, -1 on failure
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 tricker 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.
