That means that you can distinguish WPA2 enabled networks from those using
just WEP. But afaik there is no way to distinguish between WPA and WEP
without sniffing some of the initialization traffic, isn't it?
So the RSN_IE is quite a good thing, because you directly know that it isn't
worth aircracking the network ;) Is this correct?
