	Yes, copied from net/ctorrent, usually I forget to change 
	pkg-descr. Thanks.

	I'm not much into kern stuff, but I think ndis/if_ndis is quite 
	hardcoded in the driver so renaming if_ndis.ko to 
	if_ndis_{id}.ko wouldn't help, since it'll only load once. I 
	wondered how I could use ndis with two different drivers but
	haven't found an answer. I'm not sure too if I need to keep .sys
	and .inf file once the ndiscvt step is ok.

	I hope there's not much people with more than one ndis device, 
	usually you'll use it with an embedded wlan chip (centrino 
	laptops) or with an unsupported pci/pcmcia/cardbus card. I guess
	people wouldn't want to buy unsupported hardware twice. Btw 
	that's a good point.

	I'm planning to add multiple locations, so that people can still
	download the driver even if the main server is down.

	Thanks for your answer Scot.
