Comment 4 for bug 118439

The way it *should* work:

* Upon logging into Ubuntu, it finds all the local wireless networks, but does not immediately connect to them.
* If no visible networks are on your whitelist, it pops up a notification balloon asking you to select your preferred network, and when you click on it, it gives you a list with details, with a little help explaining the implications of your decision, if your network is not shown here make sure the router is turned on, shows you your selection on the menu that pops up when you click the panel icon, etc.
* After you have successfully connected to a network, it should be on the whitelist, and will be connected to automatically any time it is seen in the future.
* If more than one whitelisted network is found, it should connect to the "better" one (connection speed, encryption?)
* But if you actively select one over the other, the one you selected should be preferred in the future.
* Any network not on the whitelist is therefore on the blacklist.
* If you change your mind about a network, there should be a way to blacklist it (= remove it from the whitelist).
* When connected to a non-encrypted network, the panel icon should be noticeably different from an encrypted one (and maybe distinguish between WEP and WPA, since WEP is easily crackable?)
