I'm not much into kern stuff, but I think ndis/if_ndis is quite=20 hardcoded in the driver so renaming if_ndis.ko to=20 if_ndis_{id}.ko wouldn't help, since it'll only load once. I=20 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,=20 usually you'll use it with an embedded wlan chip (centrino=20 laptops) or with an unsupported pci/pcmcia/cardbus card. I guess people wouldn't want to buy unsupported hardware twice. Btw=20 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. --=20 Florent Thoumie flz@xbsd.org --=-lsK/uG6CmM1HYVraVruo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCgwiRMxEkbVFH3PQRAq22AJ4wvy0e55KrQDMy/Uwu2J96G77MggCfelG6 UubPYsy0JstXEgpYIGrDgcI= =0Fzz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-lsK/uG6CmM1HYVraVruo--
