No you don't, unless the AP is configured to work with WPA only and not WPA2.
The latter uses CCMP.

Instead of feeling unnecessarily depressed, you may want to spend a few
minutes studying the manual files and looking at the example or configuration
files of applications that you intend to use:
Why do you think that wpa_supplicant does not support AES encryption? The
config file which is nicely commented shows:
=========================================
# pairwise: list of accepted pairwise (unicast) ciphers for WPA
# CCMP = AES in Counter mode with CBC-MAC [RFC 3610, IEEE 802.11i/D7.0]
=========================================
So to make your wireless connection work, emerge wpa_supplicant and add
something like this in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid="Rebellion"
bssid=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX <--enter the AP MAC address
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP
auth_alg=OPEN
group=CCMP
psk="ascii key goes in here" <--use wpa_passphrase to create it
priority=5
}
To learn how to use wpa_passphrase run:
man wpa_passphrase
in a terminal.
HTH.
