            Bug ID: 11141
           Summary: WF111 package no longer availabe
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Outdated package
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: geert at my-clay.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The current WF111 version is 5-2-2-r3. It is no longer available on the
download website. And therefore builds that rely on it are broken.

The latest WF111 version is 5-2-2-r4 and contains a fix for KRACK exploit and
requires a patched WPA_SUPPLICANT version 2.6. The latest version is available.

This package is available for public download from the URL as specified in the
WF111 make file.

This issue applies to buildroot version 2018.02 and newer, since the download
URL was introduced there.

--- Comment #1 from Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@uclibc.org> ---
Why are they broken? Buildroot should fall back to the copy we have on
sources.buildroot.net:

With that said, updating to -4 is also fine. Do notice that they apparently
haven't released a -4 x86 version:

What is this wpa-supplicant patch about? Is this something new for -4? Where
can this patch be found?

Hello Peter,

First of all, thank you for your assistance. It is highly appreciated.

We are using the armv7-a variant, that is not availible on the Buildroot

Further more silabs makes a mess with these releases. You are right that they
did not release a v4 for x86. 

Having the mechanism to protect against ARP broadcast messages (from 5.2.2-v4)
is a  pre for us.

Note that they did not only update the version number, but also the format...
from "wf111-linux-driver-5-2-2-r3-armv7-a.tar.gz"
to:  "wf111-linux-driver_5.2.2-r4_armv7-a.tar.gz" (dots between version and 2x
_)

There are the release notes from Silabs:
Changes: 5.2.2-r4 Compared to 5.2.2-r3
Date: May 21, 2018
Changes
? Added a mechanism to protect against a replayed ARP broadcast message. To
protect against Key Reinstallation Attacks (KRACK)
in a 4-way handshake, it is required to use at least wpa_supplicant v2.6 with
applied patches from https://w1.fi/security/2017-1/.
Limitations
? Same as in 5.2.2.
Known Issues
? Same as in 5.2.2.

Ahh, ok. The mirroring gets a bit confused with these architecture/variant
specific tarballs. I had the tarball here locally, so I have copied it to
sources.buildroot.net as well.


With that said, it would be great if you could send a patch to the mailing list
bumping the version to -4 for the ARM variants. We already carry the needed
wpa_supplicant patches.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for adding the package to the buildroot backup site.

I would love to create a patch. 
How can I start: is there a manual that described how you can create patches?
(and thus contributing to Buildroot)? And who's responsible for merging these
into LTS released?

Kind regards,
Geert Visser

--- Comment #5 from Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@uclibc.org> ---
You are welcome. Patches are created with git and sent to the mailing list.
Have a look at the "submitting patches" section in the manual for the details
of how to do so:

https://buildroot.org/downloads/manual/manual.html#submitting-patches

I maintain the LTS branch, so I will backport important patches to the branch
once they have been applied to the master branch.

--- Comment #6 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
This problem has been fixed by:

 (1) Adding the old tarballs in sources.buildroot.org (this is the fix for
2018.08)

 (2) Updating the wf111 version used on ARM in commit
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/package/wf111?h=next&id=1e80bd9ec64ff4065f72ab0d47d863e87bf0580c
(this is going to be in 2018.11)

Thanks for the initial bug report!
