The user should not be notified of this at all. Why should he care? It's also visible easily on the panel, in case he cares. I even doubt that he should be notified of the network being down, because as soon as he needs to know, it's pretty obvious anyway. The notification in question should be off by default.

Only wireless connections change the system tray icon, for mobile broadband connections notifications is the only way to know the signal quality is low. > I even doubt that he should be notified of the network being down, because as > soon as he needs to know, it's pretty obvious anyway. People who use VPN requested this notification since the tray icon does not indicate when a VPN connection is active. > The notification in question should be off by default. Done.

I don't agree: if you are working on some offline applications you might not notice that your computer has gone offline and you will not receive any notification from some webapps.

Ok, I will increase the interval to 5 minutes but that is it. I will not do the second request because it does not make much sense. One notification at each 5 minutes does not disturb anybody and if the user enabled the notification he/she wants to know when the signal is low. In you case it is better you disable the notification if you are not interested in it. Git commit 9225da66d7f3744ae703b23fc4abacec1835cec7 by Lamarque V. Souza. Committed on 04/06/2011 at 19:51.

Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux When the wireless signal strength is nearly low and it goes up and down frequently between low and not low the user is frequently notified about low signal ("Low signal on Access Point"). This might happen several times every minute. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: User shouldn't notified with that message too frequently.
