** Description changed:
Scenario:
I'm in a place that has a WLAN, but either I don't have authorization
for it, or it's somehow broken.
I make a connection through my phone using DUN (other protocols are possible
I think, but that's how I do it.)
This works pretty well in itself, although it's not as fast as WLAN.
But then NetworkManager (I think) keeps popping up dialogs that say
- Wireless Network Authentication Required
+ Wireless Network Authentication Required
and ask for a password.
This is very annoying. It interferes with whatever I'm doing, and is
embarrassing in meetings.
- (Damn, it just did it again.)
+ (It just did it again.)
It might make sense to inform a DUN user that a faster network is available,
via a notification perhaps that does not otherwise interfere with typing. A
dialog popping up is *not* the right answer.
But such notifications should be optional (you don't want them when doing a
presentation, for instance.)
Thanks!
