<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>What is the correct value for group cipher (i.e. ssid->group_cipher) in the case of an open network (no encryption)? I naively assumed it should be WPA_CIPHER_NONE, but if it is, the saved configuration file causes an error:<BR>
<BR>
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant<BR>
update_config=1<BR>
<BR>
network={<BR>
ssid="NTGR_cNmZJtNunetOUlfXqMumTotwLxZ"<BR>
scan_ssid=1<BR>
key_mgmt=NONE<BR>
pairwise=NONE<BR>
group=NONE<BR>
auth_alg=OPEN<BR>
eap=WPS<BR>
identity="WFA-SimpleConfig-Enrollee-1-0"<BR>
}<BR>
<BR>
...<BR>
1064.259272: scan_ssid=1 (0x1)<BR>
1064.261436: key_mgmt: 0x4<BR>
1064.262843: pairwise: 0x1<BR>
1064.264451: Line 9: not allowed group cipher (0x1).<BR>
1064.266121: Line 9: failed to parse group 'NONE'.<BR>
<BR>
Should wpa_config_parse_group() allow WPA_CIPHER_NONE as a valid group cipher or does this open an exploit? Note this is running 0.5.10 with my WPS patch, but the logic looks the same as 0.6.x.<BR>
