Thanks.

I have a question about valid encryption for IBSS, this is what I tested:

1) rsn
network={
     ssid="ibss-rsn"
     mode=1
     frequency=2462
     proto=RSN
     key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
     psk= "somepsk"
     pairwise=CCMP
     group=CCMP
}

2) wep

network={
    ssid="ibss-wep"
    mode=1
    frequency=5180
    key_mgmt=NONE
    wep_key0="lalal"
}

3) wep/tkip - mainly adopted from wpa_supplicant.conf description

network={
    ssid="ibss-tkip"
    mode=1
    frequency=5180
    proto=WPA
    key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
    pairwise=NONE
    group=TKIP
    psk="somepsk"
}

Seems 1 and 2 works fine with ath9k cards. But third don't :)
I am adding that configurations to my test scripts.
Is there any other option should I add for IBSS?
Is 3rd correct?
