WPA3: Can I see which encryption each client is using?

It is also possible to list WPA version without installing some tools.

logread | grep auth_alg

sae is WPA3 and open is WPA2.

Example:

Thu Jan  9 13:14:47 2025 daemon.notice hostapd: phy0-ap0: AP-STA-CONNECTED xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx auth_alg=sae
Thu Jan  9 15:23:10 2025 daemon.notice hostapd: phy1-ap0: AP-STA-CONNECTED xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx auth_alg=open
Thu Jan  9 15:25:00 2025 daemon.notice hostapd: phy0-ap0: AP-STA-CONNECTED xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx auth_alg=open
Thu Jan  9 18:11:22 2025 daemon.notice hostapd: phy0-ap0: AP-STA-CONNECTED xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx auth_alg=sae

Surely not.
“shared” would be wpa2, “open” is open.

It's a WPA2 WPA3 mixed mode WLAN, so it only could be WPA2.
