Project Evil, aka the NDISulator, is an NDIS compatibility shim that
allows users to run Windows(r) binary drivers for network adapters
on FreeBSD/x86. It currently supports a significant number of ethernet
and 802.11 wireless adapters that would otherwise be unusable with
FreeBSD due to lack of native driver support. This talk will describe
why project Project Evil was created, how it was created, and how it works,
and will touch upon many aspects of FreeBSD and Windows(r) networking
internals and network device driver development.

Bill Paul holds a B.S. in electrical engineering and is a senior
networking software engineer at Wind River Systems. He began using
FreeBSD in 1994 and has been a committer since 1995. His first brush
with evil came in 1996 when he wrote his first ethernet device driver,
and he went on to develop many more FreeBSD drivers for ethernet,
gigabit ethernet, HomePNA, and 802.11b devices than either he or
anyone else cares to admit.
