In fact everything that I can think of conveys information by changing state. If you don't want it to convey information then why do you want it on your panel? Personally I have the panel that it is on on auto-hide so it only blinks at me when I want it to. Perhaps what your looking for is a notification applet that tells you only when the link goes down? I think that would be a cool thing to write if you were so interested. If all you want is signal strength, both redhat and novell have their own notification applets.
