well, what I have got in mind is not tide to hardware profile, neither 
to  BTS drivers.
Say that you have one folder with subfolders and each one has windos 
drivers

say /drivers/net/3com

For each driver, you get on the *.INF file this information:


[3COM]
%PCI\VEN_10b7&DEV_9200&SUBSYS_100010B7.DeviceDesc% =PCIEL905CTXM.ndi

so you parse this file and created a file with this info:

10b7:9200:100010B7,/drivers/net/3com


Then you run the linux boot if matches then add /drivers/net/3com to the 
  oempnppath

I think that this could work,

could you expand a little more, my problem with software packages are 
that sometimes they are not translated to spanish, so the users get 
confussed when an error appears on their screen.
