Title:
show wireless encryption type
Status in Network Menu:
Confirmed
Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Currently the indicator only shows whether or not a wireless network
is secured, by showing a padlock.
In a situation where we have two accesspoints which both have the same
ESSID (name) but different encryption (e.g. WEP vs. WPA) they provide
two separate networks. Now the indicator shows two identical items and
the user has no way of figuring out which is which.
Above scenario is a very rare one, but still completely valid.
Neither nm-applet or macosx networking menu bother to deal with this
situation, they just show two identical networks, but Android is always showing
the encryption scheme beneath the network name.
We can either
A) do nothing
B) always have the encryption type visible somehow
C) be smart about it and only show the encryption type when we detect that
the name and padlock is not enough
