Uh, I wrote stupid things!
I did not want to place a new folder in the bin folder, but just put the
network drivers into drivers/bin (as you said).
But they are neither put into drivers/bin (but in drivers/network) nor are
they linked from drivers/dev/net.

Well, BeIDE was simple to use, not Jamfile/Makefile. ;)
But okay, our Jamfiles look nicer than the Makefiles that I saw.
