checkout the NSIS installer patch ive written here:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/bfin-colinux/scmsvn/trunk/patches/

this installer will install winpcap, the tap driver (already part of
colinux), prompt the user for the desired IP addresses, and then take
care of the setup for them.

ive tested this under win2000/winxp/vista and know it works there.
presumably it also works under win7 since it'll be close to vista, but
i dont have any win7 32bit installs to test with :x.
