I like being able to give a sensible name to ndiscvt'd drivers (eg iwe
instead of ndis for Intel Wireless Ethernet cards). Currently this
requires both using the -n argument to ndiscvt and overriding the module
name in the if_ndis Makefile. It would be nice if this was made a little
easier.

Thomas.
