  • 5f9f1812b   mac80211: remove the dependency on crypto_blkcipher ... Browse Code »

    The only thing that using crypto_blkcipher with ecb does over just using
    arc4 directly is wrapping the encrypt/decrypt function into a for loop,
    looping over each individual character.
    To be able to do this, it pulls in around 40 kb worth of unnecessary
    kernel modules (at least on a MIPS embedded device).
    Using arc4 directly not only eliminates those dependencies, it also makes
    the code smaller.

  • 3473187d2   mac80211: remove wep dependency ... Browse Code »

    The current mac80211 code assumes that WEP is always available. If WEP
    fails to initialize, ieee80211_register_hw will always fail.

    In some cases (e.g. FIPS certification), the cryptography used by WEP is
    unavailable. However, in such cases there is no good reason why CCMP
    encryption (or even no link level encryption) cannot be used. So, this
    patch removes mac80211's assumption that WEP (and TKIP) will always be
    available for use.

  • fffd0934b   cfg80211: rework key operation ... Browse Code »

    This reworks the key operation in cfg80211, and now only
    allows, from userspace, configuring keys (via nl80211)
    after the connection has been established (in managed
    mode), the IBSS been joined (in IBSS mode), at any time
    (in AP[_VLAN] modes) or never for all the other modes.

    In order to do shared key authentication correctly, it
    is now possible to give a WEP key to the AUTH command.
    To configure static WEP keys, these are given to the
    CONNECT or IBSS_JOIN command directly, for a userspace
    SME it is assumed it will configure it properly after
    the connection has been established.

    Since mac80211 used to check the default key in IBSS
    mode to see whether or not the network is protected,
    it needs an update in that area, as well as an update
    to make use of the WEP key passed to auth() for shared
    key authentication.

  • c9cf01226   mac80211: refactor the WEP code to be directly usable ... Browse Code »

    The new key work for cfg80211 will only give us the WEP
    key for shared auth to do that authentication, and not
    via the regular key settings, so we need to be able to
    encrypt a single frame in software, and that without a
    key struct. Thus, refactor the WEP code to not require
    a key structure but use the key, len and idx directly.

  • 9ae54c846   mac80211: split ieee80211_txrx_result ... Browse Code »

    The _DROP result will need to be split in the RX path but not
    in the TX path, so for preparation split up the type into two
    types, one for RX and one for TX. Also make sure (via sparse)
    that they cannot be confused.
