1.  Make sure your baud rate still agrees in Wl and the rig.  I have both
set for 9600.  Icom seems finicky about not using AUTO settings.

2.  I used 10.33C for the NAQP RTTY with 2 Icom radios and it worked fine.
Then I upgraded to 10.34B - I just tried it and was surprised to see that my
Setup Ports settings weren't retained as they always have been before.  They
all showed Ten Tec.  Simple to rectify, but I don't remember having to Setup
Ports again after upgrading before.

2.5  The order of plugging and unplugging doesn't affect this.  WL will find
the rig when and if it presents itself.
