I think you are right!

I indeed said in the installer to configure the installed system to login
automatically as I'm using this laptop just for testing Plasma 6 and I don't
need the extra security to annoy and waste my time.

I was initially thinking that is better to remove that page, as everyone should
recognize the Wi-fi icon, but I think some Windows users might not as they are
familiar with a globe ow what Windows uses now.

And of course it's nice to communicate to people from where they can manage
their network connections.

So yes, I would go to with keeping the page, but with better communication of
the state.

I think that a a big check (✔️) would be nice when you have a connection, but I
don't think it wold be nice to see a big cross (❌) when a connection is not
available.

As if the situation is very bad like, no network driver or no networks adapter.

I think for the no connection a warning (⚠️) would be nice.

Or may just an information (ℹ️) would be nicer and less scary, less making
people feeld bad that they just happen to not have internet.

But anyway, if you decide to also show the case of missing network driver or
missing network adapter, then I think the cross sign is acceptable and the user
will know that even if it goes with the laptop to a bar or start a hotspot on
his phone, it will still not be able to connect to any network.

But I guess for this case you need to check all wireless adapters attached +
their drivers, all ethernet adapters attached + their drivers.

I'm not sure what's the situation with networking over Bluetooth, if that's a
working thing too and where it's shown, if it's in the network widget or in the
Bluetooth widget.

Anyway, please do whatever you can, when you have the time!
