Project Evil is not a port of anything; it was developed from scratch by
Bill Paul for Wind River Systems.  It was started at roughly the same
time as ndiswrapper, or possibly slightly earlier.

I don't think it is, but I'm not entirely sure.  Project Evil seems to
have USB attachments, but I've never tried to use it with a USB device,
so I don't know how functional they are.  Bill Paul (wpaul@) would be
the right person to ask.
