Dynamic handling of USB network adapters

Is it possible to dynamically recognize if a USB network adapter is removed or added?
My experience is this: in case of plugging in a USB network adapter I have to restart NetSetMan to make it recognize the adapter.

A better and more convenient behaviour from a useres viewpoint would be a dynamic recognition in event of network adapter plugged in or out

Best Regards.

Re: Dynamic handling of USB network adapters

Monitoring hardware changes and reading detailed NIC settings would cause permanent system load.

First of all, you don't need to restart the program to update the NIC list. You can simply right-click it and select "Refresh".

Second, you shouldn't have to constantly do this as long as you don't add *new* NICs all the time. Once you have added a new NIC and have configured it in some profile, it will be remembered in the settings file and even if it is not attached, you will be able to select it from the list.
