Bug ID: 493238
Summary: Incorrect names for Wi-Fi Security settings
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: editor
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ly...@bune.city
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The Wi-Fi Security settings tab in the "Wi-Fi & Networking" section of System
Settings incorrectly labels some of its settings.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a NetworkManager connection with `wifi-sec.key-mgmt` set to
`wpa-psk`, which is described by `nmcli` as "WPA2 + WPA3 personal"
2. Open that connection in KDE Settings
3. Change to the Wi-Fi Security tab
OBSERVED RESULT
Security is described as "WPA/WPA2 Personal"
EXPECTED RESULT
Security as described as e.g. "WPA2 + WPA3 Personal" or "WPA2/WPA3 Personal"
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This also applies to "wpa-eap", which is labelled by `nmcli` as "WPA2 + WPA3
enterprise", but labelled by KDE as "WPA/WPA2 Enterprise". I spent some time
trying to diagnose why my WPA2/WPA3 home network was recognised as a WPA/WPA2
network before realising that `nmcli` had correctly identified it as a
WPA2/WPA3 network all along.
NetworkManager's docs contain a list of descriptive names for each security
mode:

The code labelling the network as "WPA/WPA2 Personal" in plasma-nm is here:
