Of course... but if RaLink cards dont work with Project Evil, chances are
some other cards might use the same kind of thing that RaLink uses in its
w32 driver that dosen't work on Project Evil, so they would remain
broken... but if it did work... then its more of a complete NDIS
'emulator' or whatever you want to call it... :) - although i think it
would probobly be of less importance over the other cards where the
manufacturer isn't that nice...
