NetworkStatus: indicate if network is protected

Description

It would be fine if the user can see the protection status in the NetworkStatus's WiFi list for example with a "lock" icon. Now in the popup menu we can see only the signal, but in the command line we can find the protection's status/type of the network:

~/Desktop> ifconfig /dev/net/iprowifi4965/0 scan
name                             address              signal  auth
TPLINKHOME                       d8:5d:4c:86:24:b4        25  WPA2
DR-WiFi                          cc:5d:4e:47:99:bd        24  WPA2
SZKSZAK_T10Z                     c8:60:00:67:32:d4        11  WPA2

Thanks! The patch is not bad, but there are a few issues:

  • You leak the BString. Generally, you should put things on the stack when you can.
  • 'bName' is not a good name. 'label' would have been better.
  • The way you build the string is not really localize friendly. You should do it like this:
    BString label=B_TRANSLATE("%name% (%authenticationMode%)");
    label.Replace("%name%", name);
    label.Replace("%authenticationMode%", AuthenticationName(authenticationMode));
    

where the AuthenticationName() method would looke like:

switch (authenticationMode) {
    case B_NETWORK_AUTHENTICATION_NONE:
        return B_TRANSLATE_CONTEXT("open", "Open network");
    ...

Thank you for review. I've rewritten those parts.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks! Just one minor issue for the next time: there are always two blank lines between functions.

I don't have the time to commit it right now, but if no one beats me to it, I'll try to do it this weekend.

I'll apply the patch and do the whitespace changes.

To note, {{{ git am --signoff -i networkstatus.patch }} failed to detect the patch format. So, I did a

    git apply networkstatus.patch
    git commit --author='Przemysław Buczkowski <przemub@przemub.pl>' --signoff

and re-used the original commit message.
