If you are on wireless, you don't need "local area connection", which usually just means your network card.
The message is harmless and Windows is just telling you that you don't have a cable plugged in. It's a status message.
If you always use wireless, I would just disable the network card, so that will stop. If you use both, you can go into the poperties of the network card and tell it NOT to show you connectivity messages.
However, if you DO have a cable plugged in, and it still says it, that could be other things.
