The current version (2.0.7) supports Win95 driver downloading only. The
NT driver downloading is currently being worked on and is in CVS. I was
in contact with the main developer for a while and he was making some
pretty good progress the last I heard. I had an old version working, but
it was unreliable (client bluescrens) and didn't support many drivers.

I haven't really looked at it for a couple of months, though. It may be
a lot better now. I just haven't had time to play with it. I will email
the developer and check on the status.
