OK, it's a "feature" I can live with, it's not too often that you add or
replace network cards, and it is the correct operation when adding a
first network card on a system which didn't have one before.
However, I seem to remember from "the old days" (redhat 9 or so) that
kudzu offered to "migrate network settings" when a card was replaced.
