I hope that shaking out period includes an effort to make kudzu aware of local changes so that local configurations can be restored instead of kudzu defaults when the hardware is found again. Auto removal isn't a bad thing... as long as there is a way to save and restore state information so kudzu's defaults are not relied on over and over again. As people have already pointed again in this thread... there is a communication gap in what kudzu wants as a configuration for some devices.. and what local admin/user wants. Is the hal/network-manager software stack suppose to provide the missing piece of the puzzle so that kudzu doesn't have to deal with site specific configs? -jef"as much fun as a dental visit"spaleta
