Rebased.

With the hotplug code in place we should only need this for platforms that lack
the hotplug event support. IMO device refresh is a rare operation so we
shouldn't waste GUI space in all the dialogs. A "refresh interfaces" menu item
in the capture menu perhaps?

This is how it works now (if I didn't forget something).
