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.
