Ahh, none, I think I had that set to 1 on the OZ3.5.3 machine before 
the ipkg installed version of the wpa_supplicant overwrote that file.

It's advertising as TKIP, however the router is definetaly set to AES 
only.

Hmm, what about the pairwise entry, should it be set to the same as 
the group entry?

Hmm, the Fortigate unit did not have ssid broadcast disabled. I'll 
try enabling ssid broadcast on my linksys and see what happens. 
However the MN-700 had ssid broadcast enabled and it failed in the 
same way.

Okay, here's the current config file

network={
        ssid="myssid"
        scan_ssid=1
        ap_scan=1
        psk="mylongpsk"
        priority=1
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=CCMP
        group=CCMP
}

Hmm, enabled ssid broadcast on the linksys and it connects, disable 
ssid broadcast, it doesn't. :-(
