If anyone out there is trying to load the Western Digital Ethercard Plus
drivers multiple times under OS/2 (because you have 2 or 3 cards etc),
WATCH OUT.  There is a bug in the way they wrote there drivers.  They can't
be loaded multiple times.  We tested versions 1.04 and 1.08.

What you have to do is take a copy of the driver and change all MACWD$ strings
in one copy to MACW0$ and in another to MACW1$ etc etc.  Then in the PROTOCOL.INI
file just reference the correct names.  It just seems that there driver has a
hard coded MACWD$ to match in the protocol.ini which means that both occurances
of the driver will match the first entry and then the second driver complains.
