With the config updated, it still fails to start the network, but, with no
option other than CCMP available, the supplicant dies with
"/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant:
WARNING: failed to start wpa_supplicant". I see no indication that
anything special is required to allow the supplicant to use CCMP or
anything needed in the configuration other than the pairwise/group. I do
have access to the AP. The box supports 11ac, though I see no reference to
any crypto protocol in the specifications.

Do you have access to the AP? I am not sure from what you say.<br>
If you do: do you still need TKIP or can you turn it off?<br>
<br>
For more see the posting from a few days ago how to configure<br>
wpa_supplicant.conf:<br>

Let me know if that helps!<br>
<br>
Lots of joy,<br>
