NDISwrapper taked Windows XP binary driver and runs it on Linux.

They add the converter between Linux kernel API and the subset of
Windows kernel API sufficient to run binary driver.

I Believe the linux wrapper concept was copied from the freebsd one
which was originally called "Project Evil"

Is it the other way around (Project Evil isa ndiswrapper port, etc),
or something else..?
Wikipedia also claims that ndiswrapper has more functionality than
P.E., but I dunno if that's true or not: <http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/NdisWrapper>.
Anyone have any clarifications on those points? Just curious, again..

FreeBSD's ndis works perfectly, and it worked long before it apeared in Linux.
Just type 'ndisgen' and the interactive script will do everything for you, so
why bother?
