Honestly, this one I'm not sure about as I haven't worked on the connectivity UIs myself. I know we have backends to NetworkManager and ConnMan, and generally I would assume we pass through errors they generate and perhaps try to augment them, but I'm not personally aware of the SOTA on WiFi error reporting and how we stack up.

I'm sure if you're missing anything useful diagnostics-wise it's worth a FREQ though. A lot of us also do travel with our laptop to numerous FOSS events all over the place and encounter sub-par networks left and right, after all.

Piggybacking on the context of your network role, is there an initiative to fix temporarily unavailable sshfs mounts freezing Plasma and Dolphin?

Side-note: Depending on what you're after, you can navigate to `sftp://` (and `fish://`) URLs in Dolphin & most KDE (Qt?) applications directly, you don't need to use a sshfs mount, and this way it doesn't stall (or screw up system sleep, which is another problem I have with sshfs mounts).

Somehow or another, if you open a file in Dolphin on one of these network addresses in a non-KDE application, it seems to pass it through using a FUSE filesystem, which does work somewhat but not 100% in my experience (I don't really know how this works or remember when it falls down). The terminal view in Dolphin also `cd`s to this virtual directory.

Of course, if you really really wanted the sshfs mount for some reason, then this workaround doesn't help you.

I like your workaround ideas, thank you.
