You don't get notifications when your network is enabled or disabled? All modern operating systems are doing this. Why you should let reinvent the wheel?– Radu RădeanuAug 22, 2013 at 15:02

I want to change that message.– Adrian GeorgeAug 22, 2013 at 15:12

After some searches, I found a way how you can do it:
First, disable the usual notification from Network Manager. How? Your answer is here:
Run a script to notify you every time internet connects. How? Here is your answer:
How you can get notified from a script? Again, there are answers on Stack Exchange in this sense:

You can add a shell script into /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d that you might name 99-notification. Be sure to mark it executable with chmod +x 99-notification.
In that script, you will need to do something with the input to script, the interface name and the action.
#/bin/bash
if [[ "$1" = eth1 ]] && [[ "$2" = up ]]
then
DISPLAY=:0.0 kdialog --passivepopup "eth1 is enabled" 3
fi
I have not tested this, but I think it will work, at least with KDE. For Unity/Gnome, you might have to exchange kdialog with zenity.
