Yes. Unlikely with WPA (but possible), but with RSN, there are number of
new key management suites defines.

In theory, you could have vendor specific cipher suites. Not that we
really support them, but as far as the WPA/RSN IE is concerned, it would
be possible. I would consider just using the suite selector (e.g.,
00-0F-AC:4 and encoding it as four octets should be fine) as the
contents and not try to map it into "ccmp" or some other string (same
for key management suite).

What are you referring to with "none"? There is no such cipher suite
defined in IEEE 802.11.
