Bug ID: 505226
Summary: Network Dialog Displays Incorrect Security Type
Classification: Plasma
Product: Breeze
Version First 6.2.5
Reported In:
Platform: SteamOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
I noticed that when connecting to my WIFI which is set to WPA2/WPA3-Personal,
on my Steamdeck using KDE plasma (Steamos), that when I specify WPA3 to use, it
displays as "Security type: Insecure". I was concerned about this so I posted
about it on Reddit, and then found that it was using WPA2 via the command line,
but displaying "Insecure" in the GUI.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up WIFI via GUI (Wifi and networking)
2. Manually specify to connect using security type WPA3-Personal
3. See it is incorrectly displayed in the GUI.
OBSERVED RESULT
The GUI shows the listed security type as "Insecure" and not
"WPA3-Personal/WPA2-Personal"
Listed in terminal (using nmcli dev wifi list):
It shows the AP using WPA2 security type.
EXPECTED RESULT
The GUI should display the security type as "WPA2-Personal"
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
SteamOS: 3.7.9 Build: 20250527.1
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My router is set to WPA2&WPA3 so that older HW can use WPA2 as a fallback.
Displayed on my phone is that it is using WPA3 (SAE transition mode) and I
suspect as well as the help I got on reddit, that due to it using this mode,
KDE is incorrectly falling back saying it is "Insecure" and not "SAE transition
mode" possibly?.
I have added the IMGUR link that I used on reddit which shows screenshots of
the problem with annotations.
