Description Vladimir Benes 2021-12-10 08:46:27 UTC 
We are dropping WEP support from RHEL9's wpa_supplicant. We need to drop it from control center too.


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2029341 +++

Description of problem:
Drop WEP support in RHEL9, it is old and insecure.

Folow-up of this:

Comment 1 Benjamin Berg 2022-06-22 14:16:58 UTC 
@Network Manager team, I am thinking, that there are two parts there:
 1. Do not offer WEP as a choice in security drop-down
 2. Do not show WEP only APs

Solutions could be:
 1. Patch nm_utils_security_valid to always return FALSE. This should solve the issue for libnma and g-c-c (and possible nm-connection-editor)
 2. If NM still returns these APs, we may need to filter in g-c-c somehow. Have not fully checked that yet.

I'm unsetting the ITR, aka moving this to RHEL10.

The reason is that the mockup adds a new string, which would lack translations if it were to be added on top of RHEL9.

For RHEL10 I will have enough time to upstream the implementation of the mockup and benefit from the GNOME community translations.

We're scheduling this bug for the migration to RHEL project in JIRA where the RHEL 10 work will happen.
