Depends on who you ask ;-). WPA2 is normally used with CCMP as the
pairwise cipher. The IEEE 802.11 standard allows TKIP to be configured
here and wpa_supplicant should not have problems with that either, but
it is certainly not a normal configuration. Is there any particular
reason for using WPA2 with TKIP?
