My bad. I've forgotten to mention that I do not have any trouble to
connect. That is, my connection is very stable and reliable. The
question is actually different.
First, 'iwlist scan auth' shows that my card does supports WPA2/AES
configuration.
Second, and the most important, my router is set up to accept
connections with such configuration only.
Thus, even if my card would not support it, and try to fall back to
WPA2/TKIP, I would expect the router to reject a connection. But this
is not a case, as I've mentioned above.
Hence the question, is the 'iwlist scan' output reliable? Or DD-WRT
behavior is unreliable and it is falling back to TKIP?
