At this point this is basically a full rewrite of this module, which
is a breaking change and was necessary to properly expose the useful
parts of hostapd's config. The notable changes are:
- `hostapd` is now started with additional systemd sandbox/hardening options
- A single-daemon can now manage multiple distinct radios and BSSs, which is
why all configuration had to be moved into `hostapd.radios`
- By default WPA3-SAE will be used, but WPA2 and WPA3-SAE-TRANSITION are
supported, too
- Added passwordFile-like options for wpa and sae
- Add new relevant options for MAC ACL, WiFi5, WiFi6 and WiFi7 configuration
- Implements RFC42 as far as reasonable for hostapd
- Removes `with lib;`
These changes are important to support modern APs configurations.
Short overview:
- CONFIG_IEEE80211AX support (WiFi6)
- CONFIG_SAE_PK (pubkey authenticated WPA3)
- CONFIG_DRIVER_NONE (standalone RADIUS server)
- CONFIG_OCV (Operating Channel Validation)
- Enable epoll on linux systems
- Remove deprecated TKIP support
- Fix misspelling (CONFIG_INTERNETWORKING != CONFIG_INTERWORKING)
- The .config was restructured into sections to reflect the
upstream defconfig order and for easier updating in the future
Also, make `python3Packages.sequoia` throw a message regarding it's
replacement of `python3Packages.sequoia`. The main sequoia-pgp/sequoia
repository doesn't ship Python code since 0.25.0, just a binary.
This change removes the bespoke logic around identifying block devices.
Instead of trying to find the right device by iterating over
`qemu.drives` and guessing the right partition number (e.g.
/dev/vda{1,2}), devices are now identified by persistent names provided
by udev in /dev/disk/by-*.
Before this change, the root device was formatted on demand in the
initrd. However, this makes it impossible to use filesystem identifiers
to identify devices. Now, the formatting step is performed before the VM
is started. Because some tests, however, rely on this behaviour, a
utility function to replace this behaviour in added in
/nixos/tests/common/auto-format-root-device.nix.
Devices that contain neither a partition table nor a filesystem are
identified by their hardware serial number which is injecetd via QEMU
(and is thus persistent and predictable). PCI paths are not a reliably
way to identify devices because their availability and numbering depends
on the QEMU machine type.
This change makes the module more robust against changes in QEMU and the
kernel (non-persistent device naming) and by decoupling abstractions
(i.e. rootDevice, bootPartition, and bootLoaderDevice) enables further
improvement down the line.
