Public bug reported:

as you can see in the "iwlist scan" output below i have two APs in my house, one supporting WPA2 only, the other supporting WPA (enabled for some weird old wifi HW) and WPA2 ... while nm-applet merges these two into one entry in the network list on various ubuntu desktop devices here, the phone shows one entry per AP. 
this behavior should be brought in sync (preferably by making indicator-network also only show one entry in this case)
