Can you point me to something on the Linksys site that documents this?
They've had routers out that supported AES from before WPA2 was
officially blessed. Looking for a doc that details the CCMP
qualification for all of their AES capable routers. AES was optional
for the original WPA while TKIP was required. I've seen Linksys
routers that support AES but they were not WPA2. Some of the Linksys
routers explicitly have choices for WPA vs WPA2
