I'm glad you can now connect! :-) CCMP which stands for "Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol" uses the Counter Mode with CBC-MAC, which from what I understand uses 128bit AES ciphers. So, as long as you set up wpa_supplicant to use proto=RSN with pairwise=CCMP and group=CCMP you will always connect with the AES encryption standard. NOTE: It is not necessary to specify CCMP because it is used by default as the first option, but if you don't specify it and the AP uses WPA/TKIP only, then instead of the connection failing wpa_supplicant will switch from CCMP to TKIP. I'm stating the obvious here, but if having a wireless connection is more important than *always* using AES, then of course you do not need to specify CCMP. -- Regards, Mick
