Wouldn't it be possible to just stop kudzu from running at bootup (disable
it by running "setup" and turn off the kudzu service) - thus preventing it
from asking you ro remove a hardware profile if the modem's not on at
bootup?

Unless you're adding hardware on every boot, why try to probe for new
hardware on every boot?
