why using WPA-NONE when you can use RSN ? WPA-NONE is not really WPA..

How can you use CCMP with WPA-NONE?

where have you seen this parameter? This is not supported by
wpa_supplicant as it is nl80211 specific....and we didn't find a
reasonable way to push into the configuration engine any driver-specific
parameter.

Are you using openwrt by any chance?

My guess is that the IBSS connection is not exploiting the HT
capabilities. Please, look for a file called ht_capa in /sys/ (you
should have one of this file for each peer you have) and check its content.
