>Description:

Visual mode does not allow you to set the irq of a device to -1
whereas the old mode does -- this is useful for telling a WD ethernet
card to auto-sense.

Visual mode does not give you the ability to undelete a device if you've
disabled it.  You need to go into line mode to re-enable it, however...

Visual mode, when you're done, does not give you a chance to re-enter
line mode, it just starts the ball rolling the moment you hit "Q".

>How-To-Repeat:

Try it, it's obvious.

>Fix:

This can be assigned to either myself or the original author of the
visual mode config utility.
