Workstation 40 Network notification settings have been removed

In Fedora Workstation 40, the Gnome Settings/Notifications panel no longer provides an option to toggle notifications on or off for the Network connection. I do not want to be notified with a system pop-up (Connection failed - activation of network connection failed) everytime my network drops a connection, ie: when waking from sleep or changing VPN, or Wifi settings, etc.

Comment: My feelings are hurt that this setting has been removed :wink:
Question: Is there another way to disable these notifications?

I was unable to find one, maybe try the gnome discourse?

It looks like the settings are still present, even if not exposed in the user interface:

% gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.nm-applet | grep -i notification
org.gnome.nm-applet disable-connected-notifications false
org.gnome.nm-applet disable-disconnected-notifications false
org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications false

Try changing those settings like this:

gsettings set org.gnome.nm-applet disable-connected-notifications true

I’m getting this:

No such schema “org.gnome.nm-applet”

Maybe it has been removed then - my laptop still had that schema but it has been upgraded from 39 rather than being a new install.

Exactly same problem/complaint here. Shame there appears to be no solution, I get about 20 connection dropped notifications a day (VPN user) and it’s horrible.
