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
