I notice that each time I connect my Hanjin running OI to the USB port, I get a new virtual ethernet device: en2, en3, en4 etc. I have to configure the device each time.

Is there any way to get OSX to realise that this is the *same* USB IP device and to re-use the existing enX for the connection? or is this just a feature of the PnP USB driver, that each connection always clones a new virtual /dev/whatever?

inquiring (and lazy) minds would like to know :-)
