** Summary changed:

- unsecured wifi network recognized as secured
+ unsecured wifi network looks like as if recognized as secured

** Description changed:

  Trying Kubuntu 9.04 beta, network-manager from the desktop bar shows
  some wifi networks, and the only one from our home which is unsecured
  (without any password for anything, and no encryption, etc.), is shown
  with the lock next to it, as the other secured networks from our
  neighbors.
  
- I attempted to connect, as usual, and it doesn't request any passowrd,
- etc.
+ I attempted to connect, as usual, and it doesn't request any passowrd, etc.
+ ---
+ Update some hours later:
+ I realized that the icon is too similar between secure and non secure connection, and in fact, the "U" shape of the lock is open, but it's so small that I didn't notice beforehand! (I have very good sight in general - I'm not wearing glasses , and I don't need to wear them :-)
+ It's just that the secure and non-secure wifi network icons are too similar if you don't pay specific attention to the icon.
+ 
+ Please, close this bug as invalid, if you wish, but I would honestly
+ suggest you to change the non-secure wifi network icon to something more
+ clear. Maybe the same shape but just with a differnt color of the lock
+ would do the job... (green color?)
