RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2029338
@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.
