Same is true of every hardware monitoring in every system. If the user
doesn't care about the limits, why should you care for him/her?

The standard way of proceeding would be to provide libsensors
configuration files for your network adapters, and users who care about
proper sensor labelling and limits, will download and install them on
their systems. We plan to automatize the process a bit in the future
but this isn't done yet.
