How to get correct wireless security protocol

[Sam Gardner]

Hi,
 
I am using iwlist to get a list of wireless networks. The access point I am trying to connect to has the security protocol set to WPA2. However, sometimes when I run iwlist it is reporting it as WEP, since it does not report it as WPA2. I have also tried "wpa_cli scan; wpa_cli scan_results" and this sometimes misreports the security protocol too.
 
Is there anyway, to get the correct security protocol for a wireless access point?
 
I've tried "iw dev wlan0 scan", but cannot distinguish between open and WEP enabled access points. How can I do this?
 
Kind Regards,
 
Sam
