Maybe you can use the attached script as a starting point, which I just 
rescued from the deepest depths of my harddisk. It's supposed to transfer 
link keys from Linux to Windows.

It's highly unlikely that it works as is, and I didn't touch it since quite a 
while since I don't have a windows installation atm. At least one problem I 
remember was that the acl of some registry key had to be changed manually 
before applying the inf-file, because not even an admin can change (or even 
see?) it by default. I'm quite sure that it's possible to change this with 
some inf-file magic, but I didn't feel motivated enough to investiagte 
further and finally abandoned the whole thing in an unknown state.

All I can promise is that it generates some sort of inf file from the 
link_keys file which you can apply under windows. I even can't remember if it 
ever worked. It's for the XP stack, not for Widcomm btw. Maybe you or someone 
else is motivated enough to make this work.
