2. to identify NT4 Softex drivers (NT4 has variant 1)

listed above.

* Fixed OHCI controller problem for USB drivers
* Drivers support both Variants of the USB Card.
Both old style Variant 1 (with embedded PC Card)
and new style Variant 2 (single board).
* For each OS a multi-brand INF file is generated.
As the name suggests, a multi-brand INF file contains

representing the card characteristics on various OS'es
for one brand.

and screen texts have been resolved
* Stability issues have been resolved for
the Control Panel Applet
