Just configure the access point to only allow WPA, and see if you
connect at all. I am sure there is a better way but not sure what. You
certainly can't tell with any packet sniffer since they only see the
stuff after it comes out of the wireless chip. You would need some kind
of wireless traffic sniffer with it's own antenna or something to do
that.
