Notify-osd just displays notifications. Network-manager-applet is what
would need to handle displaying of the notifications you would like.

** Project changed: notify-osd => network-manager-applet (Ubuntu)

Title:
  NotifyOSD does not report WiFi Antennas being turned on/off

Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On a Thinkpad X220, tapping the Fn+F5 keys will (depending on current
  state) turn on or off the WiFi antennas. The X220's "hardware" WiFi
  indicator shows a green light when on and cancels the light when it is
  off. But shouldn't a NotifyOSD also be generated so this status change
  is reported from the Ubuntu desktop as well? NotifyOSD would report
  something to the effect of "WiFi Antennas ON" or "Mobile Broadband
  Antennas OFF."

  It would be great to be able to selectively turn on/off WiFi and
  Mobile Broadband. This way battery life could be saved if only using
  Mobile Broadband because the user could turn off the WiFi antennas but
  leave on the Mobile Broadband Antennas.
