Probably any parsing should be done in user-space utility, which will load .SYS file into kernel. # ndisload w22n51.inf w22n51.sys It should parse .inf, load if_ndis/ndis if required and then supply them binary data to use (via sysctl interface or like) This can be alternative way (instead of compiling special .ko) It is not so useful for mass-deploying, but more useful for day-to-day life.
