[14:35] <mpt> MacSlow, bug 1107935 is an example of a problem with doing auth in separate places: it involves reimplementing fiddly things like selecting WPA Enterprise certificates :)
[14:37] <MacSlow> mpt, I had a meeting with Wellark/Antti earlier and he told me that there's a lot of infrastructure missing in  indicator-network before we can even think of changing the UI like sketched out in the diagram.
[14:38] <mpt> MacSlow, yeah, that’s what Ted said too, it would involve indicator-network becoming an agent or something like that
[15:39] <xnox_> mpt: technically, i see no reason why network manager indicator can not just be improved to match the desired design. from technical point of view, it's much easier to do that.
[15:39] <xnox_> as it has all internal access to everything that's possible with network-manager.
[15:40] <mpt> xnox_, exactly why indicator-network exists is a separate topic ;-)
