Subject: [PATCH] fix dynamic wep
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 12:43:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4721C4D1.3050000@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1193318969.6092.19.camel@johannes.berg>

(resend please ignore last mail I mixed two things in it)

I can't verify it right now (won't have access to the dynamic wep ap for
~10 days), but I tryed to find out whats wrong by reading the code
(wpa_supplicant and mac80211).



ieee80211_ioctl_siwauth in ieee80211_ioctl.c sets the
key_management_enabled variable if the value passed to the ioctl is not
0 to true:
sdata->u.sta.key_management_enabled = !!data->value;
why !!data->value ?  that should be the same as data->value ...

later its in the array ieee80211_handler (same file)
(iw_handler) ieee80211_ioctl_siwauth,        /* SIOCSIWAUTH */

now to wpa_supplicant:
wpa_driver_wext_keymgmt2wext in driver_wext.c  returns
IW_AUTH_KEY_MGMT_802_1 (which is defined as 1) (when dynamic wep is
used) wpa_driver_wext_set_auth_param than passes the value using
ioctl(drv->ioctl_sock, SIOCSIWAUTH, &iwr) to mac80211.

ieee80211_privacy_mismatch checks for
if (!ifsta || (ifsta->flags & IEEE80211_STA_MIXED_CELL) ||
        ifsta->key_management_enabled)

and returns 0 because ifsta->key_management_enabled  true in this case
!!1 -> 1

so the problem is that it returns 0 when ifsta->key_management_enabled
is enabled (ie. returns 0 for dynamic wep).

the attached (untested!) patch (against 2.6.24-rc1) should fix it:
(I will build a kernel and test with static wep later today to see if I
broke something)

also please correct me if I am completly wrong.
