Bug ID: 498209
Summary: Network widget shows protected wifi connections as
unprotected
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Networks widget
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I am using iwd as the NetworkManager wifi backend. I have noticed that for many
wifi connections, but not all, if they are protected (WPA2 Personal or
Enterprise), the network widget shows them as unprotected. So once connected
there is no lock icon overlay over the wifi rays icon. Also, when looking at
the connection's details in the applet, for ‘security’ (‘beveiliging’ in Dutch,
could also be something else in English, like ‘protection’) it says
‘unprotected’ (‘Onveilig’ in Dutch, could also be ‘unsafe’ or so). I've checked
with `iwctl station wlan0 show` that there actually is protection (ATM,
‘Security: WPA2-Personal + FT’ for example).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use iwd as NetworkManager wifi backend (perhaps it also occurs with other
backends?)
2. Look at/connect with wifi SSID that you know is protected
OBSERVED RESULT
The applet indicates that it is unprotected
EXPECTED RESULT
The applet indicates that the correct protection
