Question:
I am testing WPA3, so far only Steam has had some crashes due to WPA3 that I know of, a quote:

**How to confirm I'm connected with WPA3 (on Linux Mint 20.2)?**

The furthest I managed to get was to verify the connected (as for searching for yes
) network is WPA3-capable or more precisely WPA2/WPA3 as set in the router using nmcli
:
sudo nmcli -f all -s dev wifi | grep -e yes -e SSID
which outputs:
NAME SSID SSID-HEX BSSID MODE CHAN FREQ RATE SIGNAL BARS SECURITY WPA-FLAGS RSN-FLAGS DEVICE ACTIVE IN-USE DBUS-PATH
