Because the connection is activated. It's telling you that it is ready to
use. I have an external dual USB 2.0 / Firewire card. I have the on-board
firewire turned off in the bios. I don't get this notification unless I
enable the bios setting for the built-in 1394 port.

Turn off the connection you are NOT using in the bios. You likely have two
LAN ports, as there are on my Asus M/B. Only enable the one you are actually
using.
