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?
It's part of it.
Realistically, the only sort of device that has a lot of site-local
configuration is a network card; for most other things you don't care.
Hence, where we're probably going to end up is that kudzu will, at
most, handle things like modprobe.conf aliases for networking;
actual config will be handled by something like NetworkManager,
and system-config-network.
