Is it the other way around (Project Evil isa ndiswrapper port, etc),
or something else..?

Project Evil is not a port of anything; it was developed from scratch by
Bill Paul for Wind River Systems. It was started at roughly the same
time as ndiswrapper, or possibly slightly earlier.

Wikipedia also claims that ndiswrapper has more functionality than
P.E., but I dunno if that's true or not:

I don't think it is, but I'm not entirely sure. Project Evil seems to
have USB attachments, but I've never tried to use it with a USB device,
so I don't know how functional they are. Bill Paul (wpaul@) would be
the right person to ask.
