I assume you are using WPA/WPA2 currently?

Do you know why wpa_supplicant didn't want to start with the two
CCMP line?  Nothing in the log?  The fact that it didn't want to start
indicates a syntax error or similar.  You should be able to test this at
any time without HT/VHT as well simply editing wpa_supplicant.conf and
issuing a service wpa_supplicant restart wlan0 .


That said I started looking into TKIP earlier today and am half way
through.  I am doing some other cleanups in LinuxKPI along the way so
that with Adrian's upcoming net80211 crypto work we can add support in
LinuxKPI as well.
