I am using hostapd version 2.10. I know how to do this from the station side in some cases, but what I want to do is decipher the information on the access point side. One possible solution would be to use hostapd_cli, but I can't find any documentation for the output.

When I run hostapd_cli all_sta I see:

00:1a:ef:58:2a:bb
flags=[AUTH][ASSOC][AUTHORIZED][WMM][MFP][HT]
aid=1
capability=0x11
listen_interval=5
supported_rates=0c 12 18 24 30 48 60 6c
timeout_next=NULLFUNC POLL
dot11RSNAStatsSTAAddress=00:1a:ef:58:2a:bb
dot11RSNAStatsVersion=1
dot11RSNAStatsSelectedPairwiseCipher=00-0f-ac-4
dot11RSNAStatsTKIPLocalMICFailures=0
dot11RSNAStatsTKIPRemoteMICFailures=0
wpa=2
AKMSuiteSelector=00-0f-ac-8
hostapdWPAPTKState=11
hostapdWPAPTKGroupState=0
rx_packets=65
tx_packets=2
rx_bytes=11248
tx_bytes=631
inactive_msec=0
signal=-38
rx_rate_info=0
tx_rate_info=0
ht_mcs_bitmask=ffff0000010000000000
connected_time=139
sae_group=19
sae_rejected_groups=

With wpa_cli this is clearer, as it says:

wifi_generation=4

or

wifi_generation=6

  • I am not sure, until I get a working WiFi 5 (802.11ac) and working WiFi 6 (802.11ax) but I am thinking this might be the clue: `flags=[AUTH][ASSOC][AUTHORIZED][WMM][MFP][HT]` HT is 802.11n or WiFi 4. So I think it is possible the flags parameter is telling me which standard the WiFi connection is using. – John Klug Sep 01 '23 at 22:08
