I'm confused.  So why does my connection at home work using WPA-AES?
I'm using a Linksys wrt54g, stock.  NetworkManger w/wpa_supplicant on my 
F9 laptop.  As a matter of fact, it works both for me at home, and at my 
mother's place where her router is configured for WPA-TKIP....

What are you missing that I already have?
