On a Cisco 5508 controller with a lightweight AP, you can see the
protocol the radio the client connects to.  If they are in fact AC
capable, you will see them connect to the AC radio inside the AP
through the controller.  While I see this with many devices, it never
happens under linux.  The AP has multiple radios in it.
