Create a new network

[Atton Jonathan]

After some more tests I have found something strange.

If the first computer use the WEP configuration it works.

When I use the WPA configuration it dooes'nt works :

0 ADD_NETWORK
0 SET_NETWORK 3 ssid "test24"
0 SET_NETWORK 3 proto WPA
0 SET_NETWORK 3 key_mgmt WPA-NONE
0 SET_NETWORK 3 pairwise NONE
0 SET_NETWORK 3 group TKIP
0 SET_NETWORK 3 psk "aaaaaaaaaa"
0 SET_NETWORK 3 mode 1
0 AP_SCAN 2
0 SELECT_NETWORK 3
0 REASSOCIATE
0 RECONNECT

> STATUS
bssid=be:1f:c5:58:68:07
ssid=test24
id=3
pairwise_cipher=NONE
group_cipher=TKIP
key_mgmt=UNKNOWN (what ??)
wpa_state=COMPLETED
ip_address=192.168.0.1


the second computer detect: [WEP][IBSS]

It seems WPA-NONE doesn't works.
