What i expected?
- One notification about one of my network interfaces is now available
- In other hands, i exepcted that if i get a lot of notification, then that isn't forzes anything, but this is related to another bug.

What happened instead?
- ~60 notification about that, which frozes up plasma-desktop, so i needed to kill it.

First i thought that the problem is in kde4's networkmanager applet, but i tried it without that, and the problem still occurs. I will attach a video that shows the problem.

I'm on eee 1000h, and the code i execute in the beginning of the video is enables (by hardware) my device, and loads the needed kernel module.

its a problem of plasma-widget-network-manager which is responsible for popping up notifications.

NM itself has no stake in that. Reassigning package accordingly.
