Bug Description

As it stands, the network connectivity features of lubuntu-installer-prompt and kubuntu-installer-prompt are only capable of connecting to WiFi networks that have a password. This is non-ideal, as some users may want to connect to the Internet during installation via public WiFi. The code to enable this should be relatively simple (detect if the WiFi network requires authentication when trying to connect, and skip password-related code if not), and as kubuntu-installer-prompt shares a massive amount of code with lubuntu-installer-prompt it will be easy to port once finished.

This FFe applies to both lubuntu-installer-prompt and kubuntu-installer-prompt.

  * Add open WiFi support. (LP: #2056603)
  * Don't let the user close modal windows, so they don't confuse the
    installer and mess up their system.
