I'm using WRT54G router with DD-WRT firmware. My Wireless AP is set to
use WPA2-PSK/AES. From what I know DD-WRT does not fall back to TKIP in
such setting independently of a client request.
However when I'm running 'iwlist scan' on my Gutsy using bcm43xx
restricted driver the output is as follows:
eth1 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
ESSID:"MyESSID"
Protocol:IEEE 802.11g
Mode:Master
Channel:9

48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s
Quality=93/100 Signal level=-57 dBm Noise level=-72 dBm
IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1
Group Cipher : TKIP
Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP
Authentication Suites (1) : PSK
Extra: Last beacon: 12ms ago
At this point I'm not sure anymore what cipher I'm using on my
connection. Is it possible that 'iwlist scan' provides an incorrect
output?
Any suggestions, please?
