What!!!  I know wpa_supplicant don't support
 AES encryption method ,so I use wireless tools......
 So it seems that I have to use wpa_supplicant and 
 change AES encryption method into TKIP.
  I feel a little depressed :-(

What encryption method is used by the AP? The method you described
only kinda works for WEP. If the AP is using WPA or WPA2, you need a
WPA supplicant.
