Comment(by Eben):

 Well, first of all, this really needs to be a fullscreen modal dialog.  It
 seems we are going to be adding those for FRS, so we should adapt this
 dialog to that framework.  The dialog should convey that connecting to the
 AP will disrupt open connections.  It can then  have the dropdown and an
 entry field, with connect and cancel buttons.  The entry field should have
 a lock icon (just like the Journal has the search icon embedded in the
 entry).

 I would suggest changing the text on the options, because WEP is redundant
 and makes the prefix the same for each, which is a bad idea.  Moreover,
 the numbers and such are much less important to the people connecting than
 the name for the type of connection, so I suggest:

  - Passphrase (128 bit)
  - Hex key (40/128-bit)
  - ASCII key (40/128-bit)

 This makes them immediately distinguishable, with the first word in each
 option sufficiently identifying it.
