Who told you that? |

No you don't, unless the AP is configured to work with WPA only and not WPA2. |
| 12 |
The latter uses CCMP. |

Instead of feeling unnecessarily depressed, you may want to spend a few |
| 18 |
minutes studying the manual files and looking at the example or configuration |
| 19 |
files of applications that you intend to use: |

Why do you think that wpa_supplicant does not support AES encryption? The |
| 22 |
config file which is nicely commented shows: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
========================================= |
| 25 |
# pairwise: list of accepted pairwise (unicast) ciphers for WPA |
| 26 |
# CCMP = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC [RFC 3610, IEEE 802.11i/D7.0] |
| 27 |
========================================= |

So to make your wireless connection work, emerge wpa_supplicant and add |
| 30 |
something like this in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
network={ |
| 33 |
ssid="Rebellion" |
| 34 |
bssid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX <--enter the AP MAC address |
| 35 |
proto=RSN |
| 36 |
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK |
| 37 |
pairwise=CCMP |
| 38 |
auth_alg=OPEN |
| 39 |
group=CCMP |
| 40 |
psk="ascii key goes in here" <--use wpa_passphrase to create it |
| 41 |
priority=5 |
| 42 |
} |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
To learn how to use wpa_passphrase run: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
man wpa_passphrase |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
in a terminal. |
