The hardware driver does not supply default values it supplies 
actual values.  We are not restricting the driver by setting a
default but keeping the driver from breaking the system in case
the programmer forgets to set a value.  For instance the
iso88025_ifattach will set baudrate to 4000000 (or 16000000) only if
the current baudrate is 0.
