Yes I know. Nevertheless, the "interface consistency fix" in commit  d23bd46 
enables the device field only for serial transport.

To my defense - I just copied old buggy code, but made it more noticeable. I 
pushed a fix to github. If you can compile from source, you can use this. If 
not, there is a workaround: Select a dive computer with serial transport (I 
think the XP-Air is), change the device and then go back to the XP-10. This 
should be saved to the preferences, so you only have to do it once (until you 
change dive computer).
