Is there any use investigating the linux ndiswrapper (on SourceForge)?
It seems to do what genmac does - ie use a win driver but hooks into
the kernel. Just wonder if we could make it an OS/2 ndis driver that
wrapped the win stuff.
    

I spoke with Brendan Oakley, one of the maintainers of UniAud, who felt that
the UniAud source code would make a good base to use Linux drivers in OS/2.
  
SNAP could also be a good driver base. That said, and per Dave's initial comment, a wrapper might (still) be the best way to go, as long as we're not constantly playing catch-up as we've seen with the GenMAC approach. Somehow, the ndiswrapper project (http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ndiswrapper/index.php?title=Main_Page ) hasn't seemed (to me, at least) to be as harried by the newer Windows drivers and support for them.
