Exactly. What kernel does is OK, and should not be changed. I meant
the other thing: user can rename NM connections (not interfaces, and I
don't want to rename interfaces!) in the dialog box on the screenshot
I attached above. What I ask is just putting "Wired Connection 1"
instead of "Auto eth0" by default there. I do it somehow manually, and
no real network interfaces are harmed in the process.

Also notification bubble must show the connection name as it is. So
that user know what exactly is connected or disconnected by name she
gave and used to.

If I understand the problem correctly, no modification to notification
bubbles code had to be done. Instead, default way of assigning a
connection name in NetworkManager had to be changed.
