A group has announced a (closed source) mechanism to allow Windows
network drivers to run on Linux.

Looking at the NDIS spec (the spec for the API that Windows network
drivers use), I note that, unlike most parts of Windows, the driver
APIs are actually very well defined. I bet it would be straightforward
to make Windows network drivers run under NetBSD (and possibly other
sorts of Windows drivers as well.)

I thought I'd throw the idea out to see if anyone gets inspired to try
doing it. :)
