    ....  As a practical matter, LAN Manager requires an NDIS driver, so NDIS
    isn't going away.  And I'm a crazy man, so the packet drivers aren't going
    away either.

Regardless of your sanity, which I wouldn't have questioned in any case, you
can't unbind (disconnect) from a v1 NDIS driver except by re-booting.  This
means that things like KA9Q and PC-IP whose protocol stack isn't a separate
TSR will never be able to use NDIS directly unless v2 drivers start to appear.
