Description Joe Harmon 2006-03-01 17:33:43 UTC 
When connected to a wireless network, the tray icon shows signal strength, but not the bitrate. It would be nice if this could be exposed in some way though Network Manager
Comment 1 Pete Goodall 2006-03-01 21:53:04 UTC 
Though this is possible we don't really have the resources to add this feature at this time.  I will add this to our feature database.
Comment 2 Robert Love 2006-03-01 22:09:48 UTC 
We could add it to the Connection Information, in the future.
Comment 3 Joe Harmon 2006-03-01 22:27:54 UTC 
That would be great. Thanks guys.
Comment 4 Robert Love 2006-03-02 22:27:31 UTC 
Actually, no.  I will go ahead and implement this now, for Code10.

I will put the information in 'Connection Information' and nm-tool.
Comment 5 Robert Love 2006-03-02 22:28:05 UTC 
Pete, no need to add to FATE.
Comment 6 Robert Love 2006-03-03 00:05:44 UTC 
Checked into CVS.  I'll submit to autobuild tomorrow.

I added three things: current Ethernet speed, current wireless device speed, and maximum available rate for each wireless network.  Works nicely.

Thanks Robert.
Comment 8 Robert Love 2006-03-03 16:41:12 UTC 
You are welcome.

Submitted to autobuild as 0.5.1cvs20060303.
