I think you're confusing 802.1 with 802.11a/b/g/n. 802 is an entire family
of standards for LAN/WAN, 802.1 is Bridging but 802.1x would cover
everything from 802.10 to 802.19 of which only really 802.11, 802.15 and
802.16 are concerned with any kind of "wireless".

Wikipedia has a reasonable explanation of the appending of security to
802.11 [1] but if you are not familiar with it and no-one is requesting a
guide to it then I would leave it all together. NM supports the most
typically problematic security protocol - WPA2 in any event.

Again, as I said in reference to the system documentation, although you feel
more at home with screen shots, they are not the best way to document
program usage because they are hard to translate and program appearance is
far more likely to change than anything else (if past experience is anything
to go on).

We appreciate your efforts but NM has a help file and is now implemented in
system help. Expanding information on the community wiki in your particular
circumstance is welcome but I don't feel you need to rewrite the entire
document.

Cheers,

Dougie
