I thought that all WPA devices supported AES
AES is optional in WPA and required in WPA2. So there are a number of compliant WPA devices which do not support AES.
You sure WPA2 "requires" AES? From the DD-WRT Wiki:

However, some devices allow WPA (not WPA2) with AES (and WPA2 with TKIP).

CCMP (i.e., AES) is required. See Section 8.3.1 of 802.11i.

Edit: You can find the requirements in 802.11i-2004.pdf or 802.11-2007.pdf.

Yes, as others above have already stated. Support for AES is required and support for TKIP is optional in WPA2. I am not aware of any vendor implementing TKIP in WPA2 but I haven't look for it either.

Exactly - they allow the optional encryption method in addition to the required method. In other words some devices support the optional AES-CCMP encryption method with WPA (I have one which does not and one which does).

Just so everyone knows, if a devices is using TKIP with WPA2 it is just as vulnerable as a device using TKIP with WPA.
