John Crispin cfa635cf85 hostapd: Fix wps button hotplug script to handle multiple radios
Hostapd's control file location was changed in 2013, and that has apparently
broken the wps button hotplug script in cases where there are multiple radios
and wps is possibly configured also for the second radio. The current wps
button hotplug script always handles only the first radio.

https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/package/network/services/hostapd/files/wps-hotplug.sh

The reason is that the button hotplug script seeks directories like
/var/run/hostapd*, as the hostapd-phy0.conf files were earlier in
per-interface subdirectories.

Currently the *.conf files are directly in /var/run and the control sockets
are in /var/run/hostapd, but there is no subdirectory for each radio.

root@OpenWrt:/# ls /var/run/hostapd*
/var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf  /var/run/hostapd-phy1.conf

/var/run/hostapd:
wlan0  wlan1

The hotplug script was attempted to be fixed after the hostapd change by
r38986 in Dec2013, but that change only unbroke the script for the first
radio, but left it broken for multiple radios.
https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/38986/

The script fails to find subdirectories with [ -d "$dir" ], and passes just
the only found directory /var/run/hostapd, leading into activating only the
first radio, as hostapd_cli defaults to first socket found inthe passed
directory:
root@OpenWrt:/# hostapd_cli -?
...
usage: hostapd_cli [-p<path>] [-i<ifname>] [-hvB] [-a<path>] \
                    [-G<ping interval>] [command..]
...
    -p<path>     path to find control sockets (default: /var/run/hostapd)
...
    -i<ifname>   Interface to listen on (default: first interface found in the
                 socket path)

Below is a run with the default script and with my proposed solution.

Default script (with logging added):
==================================
root@OpenWrt:/# cat /etc/rc.button/wps
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$ACTION" = "pressed" -a "$BUTTON" = "wps" ]; then
         for dir in /var/run/hostapd*; do
                 [ -d "$dir" ] || continue
                 logger "WPS activated for: $dir"
                 hostapd_cli -p "$dir" wps_pbc
         done
fi

 >>>> WPS BUTTON PRESSED <<<<<

root@OpenWrt:/# hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd -i wlan0 wps_get_status
PBC Status: Active
Last WPS result: None
root@OpenWrt:/# hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd -i wlan1 wps_get_status

root@OpenWrt:/# logread | grep WPS

wlan0 got WPS activated, while wlan1 remained inactive.

I have modified the script to search for sockets instead of directories and
to use the "-i" option with hostapd_cli, and now the script properly
activates wps for both radios. As "-i" needs the interface name instead of
the full path, the script first changes dir to /var/run/hostapd to get simply
the interface names.

Modified script (with logging):
===============================
root@OpenWrt:/# cat /etc/rc.button/wps
#!/bin/sh

if [ "$ACTION" = "pressed" -a "$BUTTON" = "wps" ]; then
         cd /var/run/hostapd
         for dir in *; do
                 [ -S "$socket" ] || continue
                 logger "WPS activated for: $socket"
                 hostapd_cli -i "$socket" wps_pbc
         done
fi

 >>>> WPS BUTTON PRESSED <<<<<

root@OpenWrt:/# hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd -i wlan0 wps_get_status
PBC Status: Active
Last WPS result: None
root@OpenWrt:/# hostapd_cli -p /var/run/hostapd -i wlan1 wps_get_status
PBC Status: Active
Last WPS result: None
root@OpenWrt:/# logread | grep WPS
Tue Apr 14 18:53:06 2015 user.notice root: WPS activated for: wlan0
Tue Apr 14 18:53:06 2015 user.notice root: WPS activated for: wlan1

Both radios got their WPS activated properly.

I am not sure if my solution is optimal, but it seems to work. WPS button is
maybe not that often used functionality, but it might be fixed in any case.
Routers with multiple radios are common now, so the bug is maybe more
prominent than earlier.

The modified script has been in a slightly different format in my community
build since r42420 in September 2014.

README

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.

Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
package/feeds/.

Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.

Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
system via tftp.

The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
