I think there's a political agenda, and that's something that nobody can

call it ndiswrapper, but it will identify itself to the kernel as
wrappythingy, and then ndisthingy, and then wrapndis. Heck, make it
purely random. Solve the problem for all time.

If there is a political agenda, then LKML is the worst place to discuss
the details.

It's a stupid problem promulgated by stupid people, and I use the word
"stupid" in it's most pejorative sense.

It would be more useful if you counter specific arguments rather than
employ ad hominem attacks.
