+ Some vendors do not release specifications of the hardware or provide a
+ Linux driver for their wireless network cards. This project implements
+ Windows kernel API and NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) API
+ within Linux kernel. A Windows driver for wireless network card is then
+ linked to this implementation so that the driver runs natively, as though
+ it is in Windows, without binary emulation.
