That's not true. I'm using cfg80211 with wpa_supplicant (even when I only use WEP, despite the name of the wpa_supplicant application!). And in this case, you can use "wpa_cli status" and well see all the details, no matter if you use WPA, WPA2, WEXT or some of the 802.11x derivates: # wpa_cli status Selected interface 'wlan0' bssid=00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ssid=MUMBLEFUTZ id=0 mode=station pairwise_cipher=WEP-40 group_cipher=WEP-40 key_mgmt=NONE wpa_state=COMPLETED ip_address=172.16.xxx.xx -- http://www.holgerschurig.de -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
