1. The piece of hardware should be marked unavailable
2. The sysadmin preferences should be stored
3. on new plug-in old preferences should be restored.

Given that modern buses like USB provide manufacturer, model and serial
number forgetting everything we know about a device every time it's shut
down (because powering down is sufficient for kudzu/hal to kill prefs)
is not acceptable.

I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY PRITER DPI EVERY F* TIME IT'S POWERED UP !
