That bug is before my time.
Then this one will be even more before your time:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58901
Things do seem to have got better since then, but it's clearly still an
issue in some cases. My solution to 58901 was a patch to kudzu which
allowed the user to specify that a device was expected to be connected
intermittently. In that case kudzu would retain the configuration and
not pester the user about it as the device came and went.
