Re: mwifiex+wpa_supplicant cannot set up WPA/WPA2 ADHOC

I'm not sure what to tell you.  Did you look into the GTK installation
failure?  For WPA-PSK, there's 1 4-way handshake and the STA installs
1 PTK and 1 GTK.  For WPA2-PSK for IBSS, there are 2 4-way handshakes
and the STA installs 1 PTK and 2 GTKs.  If the peer's GTK isn't
installed, the STA won't be able to decrypt the peer's broadcast
frames.  Do you have a sniff of the failure?  What's failing?  Does it
work if you use static IP addresses and static ARP entries?
