Public bug reported:

Very simply, there is no reliable encryption that works with Wireless N
except WPA2 with AES.

The menu in WICD to set up a connection doesn't list anything close to
this so the user doesn't know what to choose.

I understand that WPA 1/2 might be the correct choice (it is working for
me) -- but why make it trial and error for each and every user?

Can you:

1) Please change the menu to read:

WPA 1 or 2   (autodetect encryption method)

if this is what is meant.  As it is now it reads WPA one-half   (that is
what wpa 1/2 looks like)


2) if there is another encryption choice that works that is fine but I can't 
figure out what it is... from the menu.
