NdisMIndicateStatus - When does windows show speech bubble?

NTDEV

My NDIS Miniport driver calls NdisMIndicateStatus (and
NdisMIndicateStatusComplete) when a link status or speed change occurs.

When the link is lost, Windows shows a “disconnected” message in a speech
bubble in the corner of the screen. However, it never shows an equivalent
“connected” message when the link is restored, although everything else
seems to work.

Is this normal behaviour, or must my driver do something else to cause
Windows to show this message?

Don’t the bubble and the disconnected icon disappear in the tray area, and
thus indicate that the connection has been (re)established?
