Auto-NDISWrapper hard to run for amateur user

I apologize for such a vague bug title, but I wanted to share my experience with Auto-NDISwrapper to help make a better product.

A couple things went wrong for me, as you can see in the log below:

1) I tried to run the script without sudo (my fault)
2) ndiswrapper was not installed on my system (my fault, but auto-ndiswrapper could, potentially use apt-get or yum, etc. to install it, could it not?)
3) There is no package called 'ndiswrapper' (as your program stated) so I had to install 'ndiswrapper-common' and 'ndiswrapper-utils-1.9' in Ubuntu
4) The card was supported, and your program tried to open Firefox, but it was already open and it got stuck saying I had to close Firefox and try again -- apport has the same problem and it is really annoying. Not your fault, I know, buy disables the functionality you were trying to provide with your software
5) So I took the URL and I hit an error page (someone submitted incorrect information to the database).
6) So I took my driver CD, popped it in, took the .inf file from the winxp/ folder and tried to put it into '/tmp/auto-ndis/10ec:8180 (rev 20)' like it asked me. But I need root privileges to use Nautilus. So I get onto the command line and run 'gksu nautilus' and copy and paste the .inf file in the /tmp folder as directed.
7) Then, your program continues, but it fails.
8) I also noticed it detected the wrong card, so I added it to http://easylinuxwifi.org/forms.php (err, at least tried)

Here's the lspci -v output showcasing the wireless card:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20)

We are sorry that the procedure failed, but don't get discouraged! Please visit easylinuxwifi.org for help or any other community support website. Remember, the community is here to help. You may also want to try with other .inf files if more than one was included in the dowloaded driver. You may do this by entering manual mode with -m flag. and removing all .inf files from /tmp/auto-ndis/10ec:8180 (rev 20)/ except the one you want to try to install. Also if possible report any broken urls as bugs in our bug tracker.
