But... I cringe to think of not having this feedback.  Network/mesh
behaviors have been a real sore spot in the UI, with confusing icons,
indistinguishable states, and lack of feedback.  I really think we need some
kind of indication when these devices are connecting/disconnecting, and
pulsing is the metaphor we've used everywhere else (and is already being
used in the Neighborhood view for APs).  I'd vote strongly in favor of
finding a way to make this happen before we release this.
