Comment 10 for bug 364101

This also affects me. In my instance, sometimes I need to use Azilink on my phone to tether when I can't get an internet connection. This requires both no encryption and no authentication. It's kind of frustrating, because some applications look at Network Manager's status and if there are no connections there it stays in offline mode. However, with the current configuration I use while tethering, there IS a connection, it's just not reported by Network Manager.
