Warn the user if he is connected to an unencrypted WLAN  
Written by Thorsten Sick the 10 Jul 08 at 16:35. New
If the user is connected to an unencrypted wireless network or the encryption is weak (WEP), display either a warning symbol on the network icon or display a warning message (popup/slidein).
Make this information available using dbus for other applications(online banking).Using this information they can stop the user from doing anything dangerous like banking over an unencrypted and open connection.
