</div>Understood.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>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.</div>
