Hi i'm trying to setup an adhoc network using wpa. group=TKIP worked
perfectly for me but i would like to try group=CCMP.

 i edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

 ap_scan=2
 fast_reauth=1

 # IBSS/ad-hoc network with WPA-None/TKIP.
 network={
 ssid="testwpa"
 mode=1
 proto=WPA
 key_mgmt=WPA-NONE
 pairwise=NONE
 group=CCMP    # i tried group=TKIP and it worked perfectly but i
would like to try   CCMP
 psk="superduperwpa"
 }

 when i ran wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -d

 It gave me this error

Configuration file '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' -> '/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'

 Could anyone help me with this? Why is CCMP not allowed for pairwise
cipher? Am i missing out something here?

 Thanks.
