It's a Cisco Aironet 1200 series with WPA2/AES.

I've now just got this working by rebuilding the latest wpa_supplicant package 
and after alot of trying everything, a difference is made by removing 2 lines 
in the following config;

network={
    proto=RSN
    scan_ssid=1
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
    ssid="xxxx"
    psk="xxxxxxxxxxx"
#    pairwise=CCMP
#    group=CCMP
}

If these two lines are present, then I get repeated scanning with cypher 
mis-matches.  Maybe the wpa_supplicant has probably fallen back to WPA?  
(This WPA2->WPA fallback seems to be mentioned when tracking back through the 
wpa_supplicant Changelog @0.4.6).
