Comment 41 for bug 1023645

@Dave Oh.... So, if I manage to remove that driver I should be able to
start up my system again? Does ndiswrapper make a copy/store the loaded
driver anywhere? Or does it operate the driver off its original directory?
(I need to try using Windows or GRUB2 to delete the driver I suppose, since
for some reason neither LiveUSBs or LiveCD/DVDs can be booted by the BIOS)
As for needing ndiswrapper, before downloading it originally, i checked for
Linux support for the wireless device and there wasn't any (based from a
list of supported devices, i think the page was somewhere in Ubuntu/Linux's
WiFiDocs. The same page referred me to this package. If there are
alternatives, I would gladly consider giving them a try, since I haven't
enough experience in Linux to do anything but heed advice and ndiswrapper
hasn't exactly been cooperating.
