hi devs,

i just got surprised by this post-install message:

(2/2) installing ndiswrapper                        
[##################################################] 100%
adding "alias wlan0 ndiswrapper" to /etc/modprobe.conf ...

on what logic is ndiswrapper adding wlan0 to be ndiswrapper? this 
should not be. you cannot assume that the user wants wlan0 to be a 
ndiswrapper device. it may (as in my case) be wlan1 because wlan1 is 
the internal wireless device (intel 4965). let the user configure 
things like this by himself, no?
