Well, now I get the drivers tags, but the driver itself still isn't
getting installed.

Seriously, is there a walkthrough or anything on how to use this?
I've found numerous sites where people _ask_ the question, but none
with actual responses with actual code that says "Here is how you take
an inf and a sys and install it."

Thanks,
Mark
