Description Wong CS 2009-08-19 05:16:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'm using a rather flaky 3G mobile broadband ISP and disconnects are often. I wish knetworkmanager would emit a notification when a particular connection goes down instead of just silently going offline.

Thanks!

Here there is a patch to do that. You have to configure the popup in systemsettings -> Notifications -> Event Origin: Network managerment -> Network disconnected.

The patch adds new strings to the source code. If nobody opposes I am going to commit this change to svn soon.
