    mac80211: Add testing functionality for TKIP · 681d1190
    Jouni Malinen 提交于
    TKIP countermeasures depend on devices being able to detect Michael
    MIC failures on received frames and for stations to report errors to
    the AP. In order to test that behavior, it is useful to be able to
    send out TKIP frames with incorrect Michael MIC. This testing behavior
    has minimal effect on the TX path, so it can be added to mac80211 for
    convenient use.
    
    The interface for using this functionality is a file in mac80211
    netdev debugfs (tkip_mic_test). Writing a MAC address to the file
    makes mac80211 generate a dummy data frame that will be sent out using
    invalid Michael MIC value. In AP mode, the address needs to be for one
    of the associated stations or ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff to use a broadcast
    frame. In station mode, the address can be anything, e.g., the current
    BSSID. It should be noted that this functionality works correctly only
    when associated and using TKIP.
