Thank you for the feedback. I will address your issues in the next update (probably tomorrow, possibly this evening) The update interval should be adjustable. It's in the config.yaml. I forgot the humanfriendly was required, I'll add that to the readme, and add a warning to install it if it's not found. If you leave start_minimized: True you can maximize it by clicking on the status icon. I'll look at why you are getting the yaml.load error. I don't get that on Linux Mint. 4 should be fixed in the last update, just grab the latest from github. (I think I fixed that last night) I will look at how to improve issue #5. 6 should be fixed where you can click close to close the about window. As to the update interval being a load on the modem, I've been running this for about a year with a 1 second update with no problems. But just change it to 10000 and it wil update every 10 seconds, or 25000 to update 4 times a minute. I've acutally tested with as low as 500 (.5 seconds) with no problems, but only ran like that for a few minutes. BTW, the data rates that you see are only from the modem to the internet, the traffic from the PC to the modem is not included. It's also a very small dataset returned (if you look in the hnmodemstatus.py code you will see the 4 pages I'm accessing to retreive the data. You can manually look at the returned data with a web browser and you will see it's not much) Anyways, I'll post here when the next update is ready. Thanks for the feedback and for trying it!
