Comment(by raido357):

 I have plugin which uses some extra database tables which have to be
 created, when plugin is activated. But via network activation plugin is
 activated but action "activate_myplugin" doesn't trigger, so no db tables
 are created and plugin is broken.

 Same goes with deactivation.

 For activation i could use workaround by adding admin_head action and call
 installation function there but for deactivating i can't call
 uninstallation that way.

 So to keep people with no clue out of headache, I would simply disable
 network activation.

 I understand if this is really not needed, i'll just have to add huge
 warning to plugin installation how to, do not use network activation.

 Of course one could say that plugin structure and logic is wrong and
 approaching from different angle could avoid this network activation
 issue, but I am not the first one to work on this plugin, there have been
 other developers and I am really don't want to rewrite most of the plugin.

 This plugin is not available yet in WP plugins repository.
