[driverloader] Thoughts about configuration of non-native drivers (like Belkin)

[Jan Slupski]

Hello driverloader support!

Quite often on the list there is advice to upgrade the Windows driver
using other provider drivers.

For example to use Belkin drivers to other Broadcom cards.

To be able to do this, user have to hack the INF file to add his
PCI ids. This can be esspecially unpleasant if the INF file is in
Unicode UCS2.

I wonder if it would be possible to add special (advanced?) option to the
web configuration utility as: "force using provided INF file".

For example first page of configuration would ask:

 Enter INF file: _______________

And second (if the INF file does not match the hardware):

 Warning!
 This INF file is not designed for your hardware!
 Forcing using it may cause crash, hardware, or brain damage, etc, etc.
 Use with extreme care!

 [ ] Force use of xxx.inf

 Enter SYS file: ______________

 (for informations below see output of lspci command)
 Enter your PCI VENDOR: ______
 Enter your PCI DEVICE: ______
 Enter device name:     __________________________
