Hi All,
        Suppose the WPA capability exchanged b/w the client and the AP
is
TKIP as unicast cipher, TKIP as group cipher, and WPA-PSK as the
authenticator
suite. After associating the client, the AP starts the 4-way handshake.
Suppose
the 4-way handshake passes successfully. Now should the AP immediately
start the
2-way group key handshake Or it can do it afterwards? Let's say AP
doesn't start
the 2-way group key handshake, then what should be the client behavior
here? Should
the client timeout and close the connection, and should start the
connection process
right from the beginning. Or the client should remain connected to the
AP. =20

If anybody can throw some light on this issue, it would be great..  =20
