#2 help shoud document the codes used
Feature request
The codes used in the encryptiOn column need to be explained somewhere.i understand that 'N' means no encryption, but the other codes don't match the symbols used in the connection manager. For example, connection manager shows two wifi AP's as having a closed padlock with 3 blobs while Wifiinfo gave a different code for each.
I expected one to mean WAP and another WEP, but that doesn't Seem to be the case.
The application currently uses the following code: "N" for no encryption, "W" for WEP encryption, "P" for WPA-PSK, E for WPA-EAP and "2" for WPA2. Multiple characters can occure if the AP supports multiple encryptions (P2 ist for exmaple likely if one enables WPA and WPA 2 support). I'm also unhappy with this solutions because I did not found "obvious" one-character replacements in all cases, the column can get croudy. However if I want to show multiple ecnryption methods an icon solution will possibly use too much space.
I would be intersted to hear which information is necessary and which I can drop? I can also skip the encryption column completely or partly and move information to a separate popup dialog on double click.
Simply enhancing the help to explain characters is possible not the best solution.
Please suggest a details solution and I will be happy to follow that. :-)
