Public bug reported:
It looks like nm knows about security, because `nmcli device wifi list`
shows a column about security. But the graphical indicator doesn't warn
me (nor is there a notification on connection) when the wifi network is
unencrypted.
This is a security-related feature request: I think it should provide a
warning, even if that warning is unactionnable beyond choosing possibly
not to remain connected or to restrict some activities.
