mtk-20170518/package/network/services/hostapd, branch v17.01.2 MTK 20170518 : Mediatek SDK based on OpenWRT Barrier Breaker mac80211, hostapd: always explicitly set beacon interval 2017-05-27T12:24:13+00:00 Matthias Schiffer mschiffer@universe-factory.net 2017-05-13T14:17:44+00:00 4bd3b8f8b0bc97cb7de4242b4f67c57ea8296de5 One of the latest mac80211 updates added sanity checks, requiring the beacon intervals of all VIFs of the same radio to match. This often broke AP+11s setups, as these modes use different default intervals, at least in some configurations (observed on ath9k). Instead of relying on driver or hostapd defaults, change the scripts to always explicitly set the beacon interval, defaulting to 100. This also applies the beacon interval to 11s interfaces, which had been forgotten before. VIF-specific beacon_int setting is removed from hostapd.sh. Fixes FS#619.

hostapd: add legacy_rates option to disable 802.11b data rates. 2017-05-27T12:24:13+00:00 Nick Lowe nick.lowe@gmail.com 2017-03-27T09:50:23+00:00 e194e1b3c838a301178effb639804c28fe67354d Setting legacy_rates to 0 disables 802.11b data rates. Setting legacy_rates to 1 enables 802.11b data rates. (Default) The basic_rate option and supported_rates option are filtered based on this.

hostapd: backport support for sending debug messages to the syslog 2017-02-05T21:29:56+00:00 Rafał Miłecki rafal@milecki.pl 2017-01-25T07:32:00+00:00 a0bc62fe08beae87de8051b7e642715240b9d16c It wasn't possible to read hostapd wpa_printf messages unless running hostapd manually. It was because hostapd was printing them using vprintf and not directly to the syslog. We were trying to workaround this problem by redirecting STDIN_FILENO and STDOUT_FILENO but it was working only for the initialization phase. As soon as hostapd did os_daemonize our solution stopped working. Please note despite the subject this change doesn't affect debug level messages only but just everything printed by hostapd with wpa_printf including MSG_ERROR-s. This makes it even more important as reading error messages can be quite useful for debugging. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>
