[wplug] hardware swaping..

[techmike]

I thought it would behave better than its M$ counterpart.  In the past 
I've noticed kudzu detects just about any hardware changes at bootup.  
Just didn't know if it would have a fit if it saw an entirely different 
motherboard and chipset.  

I guess I can always ghost it first to be safe..  Blessed is the 
pessimist.  :)
