Question: I am testing WPA3, so far only Steam has had some crashes due to WPA3 that I know of, a quote: > ... Fixed crashes when on a WPA3 wireless network ... **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:
