[plug] kernel driver frusturation

[Shayne O'Neill]

ITs cool denis. Indeed it was tulip.

Couldnt find a reference on google, and tulip doesnt have a description
string in woody installer so i missed it

but I used it and it works spankin.....

will provide updates to list later on the sanity of the SAP stuff.
