wifi policy needed

[marek]

We need a defined wifi policy for ASU.
For example:

• When the phone is turned on - should wifi be an/disabled ?
  
• Should the phone scan for wifi networks all the time ?
  
• After turning on the wifi should the phone connect to known networks automatically ? Only to crypted ? What if we have more than one known network ?
  
• What should the phone do if we loose the connection to our current network ?

• When the phone is turned on - should wifi be an/disabled ?

disabled by default during boot, user has to turn it on if they want it.

• Should the phone scan for wifi networks all the time ?

Yes. If enabled, it keeps scanning.
Important thing is to show a 'Wifi Icon' indicating that Wifi is in fact enabled, scanning, and eating up battery.

• After turning on the wifi should the phone connect to known networks automatically ?

Yes.
*Only to crypted ?
No. Auto-connect to any known network.
*What if we have more than one known network ?
Strongest encrypted wins.

• What should the phone do if we loose the connection to our current network ?

Go back to scan state until connection is found.

• What if we are connected to a network and later we find a better, stronger network?

Keep current connection.

• How do we store passwords?

Store passwords plain, and keep your Neo somewhere safe..

Well, it is defined but not fully implemented yet. But this may take a while as the network manager state is unclear at the moment.
