        !             3: 
        !             4: (1) Locate the .INF and .SYS file for the windows driver.  I have no idea
        !             5:     where the official location for these things are but I found the one
        !             6:     for the Centrino 2200 chipset (for my Sony TR3A) here:

        !            14: (2) Unpack the files into a temporary directory, then copy the appropriate
        !            15:     .INF and .SYS file to /usr/local/modules/if_ndis.
        !            16: 
        !            17:     mkdir -p /usr/local/modules/if_ndis

        !            19: 
        !            20: (3) Generate a driver module header file using ndiscvt then build and
        !            21:     install the module.  The object directory in which you store the
        !            22:     header file should match what make obj creates.  If your DFly sources
        !            23:     are in /usr/src then the example below will work.
