Yes, it is a quick hack and it is also a manual mechanism to override very intelligent algorithms;additionally, is not and all encompassing solution and one that will allow us to get the stuff out soon *safely*. Most likely for any intellingent PnP subsystem we will have to support Did the last PnP configuration failed?, plug, remember, pray dear lord that the system does not reboot or gets hung.
