Exactly my opinion! Only reasonably stable stuff is going to make it
into official m0n0wall releases.

Yeah, I had a look at that, and it's interesting, but I'm not sure
how it would work - I mean it's not like you can just upload the
.SYS/.INF files and somehow load them, but you have to convert them
and get .h files that you can then compile with the ndis driver,
right? If so, then things would be difficult, as we probably can't
just compile a set of the most common drivers and ship that with
m0n0wall due to licensing issues.
