Proteon is working on NDIS drivers for their cards, which should be available
real-soon-now.  Whenever those driver become available, one could use the
dis_pkt driver to run packet driver based protocols over Proteon cards.

Also I believe Proteon supports the ASI interface.  I don't know if a packet 
driver-to-ASI translater exists, but ASI does support multiple concurrent 
protocol stacks.
