I don't know how ndis works. Is it possible that each ndis driver 
would have it's own process? or would each instance?
I don't even know if it's possible to run two different ndis drivers 
in the same kernel.
if that was the case we'd want to have a different name for each one 
so you can tell them,
but I just don't know enough about it.
