[Commotion-dev] Ad-hoc problems in BB: authenticated but not authorized

[Ben West]

If this is on the adhoc VIF, what is specified for the encryption parameter
for that VIF in /etc/config/wireless?  I've found that encryption=psk2
works fine, but something like encryption=psk2+aes doesn't jive with
IBSS-RSN (even tho it works fine for VIFs set to ap or sta mode.
