Sorry. want to add one thing..

When the WPS comes up, the CURRENT BOOT PnP data
is saved, PERIOD. You do NOT need to request that the
data be saved..it just will be.

Unless specifically requested (alt-F1/F5 at boot,
or changing the Hardware Manager defaults) the
saved current config will be restored on next
boot to insure that all PnP hardware is placed
at the same location as last boot.
