Hi Albert,
sorry for not replying before, it slipped through the cracks.

You have a point that it's currently not very obvious how to change it. The 
issue is that it's quite technical stuff which might scare people who know 
nothing about it.
On the other hand, most of those people might never actually see that dialog 
because they just enter their WiFi password through the Plasmoid and are done 
with it.
Although there would be enough space for a radio group and that would require 
less clicks to change, I'd opt for a combo box in this case because it can be 
ignored by people who don't care about changing it more easily.

What do you think, Jan?
