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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1258496/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
