Personally, I don't think it looks that bad. There are a lot of rows, and
placing the encryption type in another column might be a good idea. I think
it would be nice to simply switch the name of the AP and the encryption, I
think the AP name should be one of the first things displayed, unless you
are using Haiku for war-driving, most people are just searching for their
own Access point, not the first one available that it unencrypted.
