This appears to be the only UPPER CASE thing I noticed in the doctoral
thesis. Perhaps you actually had a question?

Looking at this, <VERSION> is probably the same as `uname -r`. If you
built your own kernel it should already be present, unless you did a make
clean. Assuming you're running the kernel you built.

My setup requires the following after each fresh boot. Someday I'll
automate it.

fullpath_to_ndiswrapper_module_inclusive=../ndiswrapper/driver/ndiswrapper.o
vendor=####
device=####
mode=Ad-Hoc
channel=#
essid=SomeString
iface=wlan0
sysfile=/lib/windrivers/<file>.sys
inffile=/lib/windrivers/<file>.inf
ip=192.168.0.2
netmask=255.255.255.0

#--- hopefully this is short enough for you ---#
insmod $fullpath_to_ndiswrapper_module_inclusive
/usr/sbin/loadndisdriver $vendor $device $sysfile $inffile
iwconfig $iface mode $mode channel $channel essid $essid
ifconfig $iface $ip netmask $netmask up
#--- the INSTALL in a nutshell ---#

Items above prefixed with $ represent the variables as it might appear in
a bash script. Your paths may vary depending on where you placed/compiled
everything. Basically follow the INSTALL file as was so diligently pasted
in the previous post. You might need to put your wireless devices on a
separate subnet to get them to function right. i.e. 192.168.2.2
