Re: USB Wireless can't connect with AES (but works with TKIP)
SOLVED!
Realised that the adapter was plugged into a USB1.1 port (old Asus A7V333), so plugged it into a USB 2.0 - now works perfectly, at up to 270Mbps. Very random, but wooooo!!
Excellent to hear... though I often run mine plugged into a USB 1(.1?) port on an old Dell latitude which is... well, slow, but it does work. Maybe there is some critical speed somewhere which your older PC just can't quite manage. There was a minimum spec PC given for the dongle, but I think mine is well underneath that (it's a P3, and it's less than 500 MHz).
